I've been a fan of Sid Meier's other titles, beginning with the original Civilization. This is one of the two titles I've been disappinted in. I purchased it based on Steam promotional images but discivered a handful of the images were taken during the BETA of the game - thus those features were not in the final product.

It is pretty easy to learn the pattern to the game; at times, it is almost predictable. If you are a fan of the Civilization franchise, you expect some level of predictability after the first 30 to 40 hours of play-time. But you don't expect to figure it out within the first couple of hours of playing the game.

Is it a good game? Yes, but would I recommend paying full price for it? No. It's best purchased during one of the Steam seasonal sales or when bundled with another title.
