When I bought this game along with my new Logitech Force 3D Wingman, I basically threw this game in a corner and forgot about it for a few months. I will never do that again, because I have learned my lesson. I was swept away to plow a powerful empires way into the world, defeating the evil Babylonians, and make the Great Wonders of the world. I have traded all computer social life for romping other civilizations. Warning: VERY long gameplay(10-11 hours), and not good for fighting gamers, people who like seeing carnage.
