I had a total nostalgia trip when I bought this game. If you don't want to play wars, but just focus on building, building, building, it'll let you do that nearly all the time. It will sap all of your time though. I found myself obsessed to complete the mission objectives and would let it play for hours just to finish completing that medium pyramid. The worst thing about this game is that you can reach a level of debt within a mission from which there is no return. And it's usually when things are just about wrapping up, and you let one thing slip, and the whole beautiful city you've built becomes a plague-infested, robber-run hellhole. Then you find yourself having to scrap a week's worth of play to start all over again. For the love of God SAVE YOUR GAMES when you're at your zenith.
