This game was what made me interested in fictional versions of human history, specially Atlantis, and I wouldn't be surprised if some famous pseudohistorians got inspired by this game or vice-versa. The story alone rivals the Lost Ark or Last Crusade and should give you enough reason to play this game.
This is clearly based on Diplomacy (tabletop game) and it integrates with the typical 4-resource TBS in such a way that I felt very refreshing and addictive. The winning strategy so far seems to be getting as much money per turn as possible without hurting your other areas. Desert and ocean are the big game changers once you get the science to turn them to profit.
Bad - Puzzles can be somewhat annoying - Combat is a bit repetitive Good - Story - Graphics should age pretty well - The lack of visual queues and mission goal tracking replaced instead by audio queues and hints is refreshing and imersive.
