Quite simple and very enjoyable. It had a nice sense of progression, and an accessable learning curve for someone who isn't great at strategy games in general. However, it was held back by some annoying bugs to do with worker pathing an decision making that popped up every now and again, as well as the limited degree of endgame expansion. You get to the middle game and realise that that's the end of the road. Espescially pertinant to the research tree. Definitely enjoyed it though, also found the Civlopedia on this one very interesting. As a history buff who hasn't studied much of Rome, it's got some great historical facts strewn about.
