Not much here

This is not a very deep sim. Everything is buildable almost immediately with things you find lying around, and there's aren't really any goals worth putting in time for. There are only a couple kinds of raw resource, only a few things that can be made from them, and no intermediate resources. The AI also leaves somewhat to be desired. Units take strange paths even with faster roads (there are only 2 kinds, bare dirt and stone). Another weird AI behavior is if you designate a building that takes logs (almost all of them do) and it requires trees to be cleared for its footprint, units won't stop delivering logs until the logs you just chopped down are hauled away to a stockpile. So units will haul the logs away from the build site (which could be quite far from the nearest stockpile) only to haul them right back. Overall, the game is probably not worth your time or money.
