If you like turn based strategy games this is a must have. Very, very detailed in the things you can do and the amount of story based detail they have put into the game makes the game world seem really alive. Runs awesome on my 3 year old HP laptop so if great for those of you TBS gamers who travel. Can't tell you how many "it's midnight...I'll play just one more turn...Oh my god it's 5 am!" nights I've had with this game. Truly a gem!
I'm not sure how I missed this one back in 1999 but I'm glad I now have gotten the chance to play it. It takes me back to the days when I had been in the military for a few years and had finally saved enough money to buy my own first computer. I was a big fan of turn based games that had the added level of good random story to them such that you hardly ever got the same play through twice. This does that.
