loved this game when I was a kid, and now that I'm an adult I realized how deep some of the strategy is. on top of the usual balancing of resources, army, money. you also have to make sure your population remains happy. unhappy workers dont work, and can riot if you aren't careful meaning that they damage your building, steal/destroy resources. On top of this there are 7 alien races to choose from, each with special units and traits that can be used to your advantage over your oponents.
