This game combines the best elements of Sid Meier's Civilization series and the Age of Empires series. Built on a modified version of the Age of Empires II engine, the game was starting to look dated. These developers have enhanced the graphics on the game with updated resolutions and textures and really give the game a more modern feel. The gameplay is the same as it always has been and amazingly, no game has tried such a brilliant concept since. I highly recommend this game to fans of the Civ and AoE series and RTS's in general. If you're a newcomer to the RTS genre, I would recommend starting with more basic games such as Starcraft or Age of Empires II.

5 Stars.
