I thought it was a city builder like age of Empires or sim city. But This is like a complicated game of monopoly. You even take turns!? what the he bouble hockey sticks. {Language rules} this is a video games not a aboard game.But if you like that stuff get this, if not better luck piriting Age of Empires

OK so compared to civ 5 this is better, but for some reason on this version the enemys archers will cause you more damage then your modern tanks will do to them, thats just an example of the way combat is, ive played this game before from walmart and it wasnt like this so i dunno.

Weak

Combat Is Terrible

I have played one other Civilization game seems reletiveley the same. The combat has always seemed a little off to me (pikemen destroying airplanes being one of the things that stuck out) but you could still win regularly. Though in this game attacking cities is impossible without massive ammount of troops and effort, in other games this has been fixed with combining 3 units into an army but in this game combat is not an option for winning to me. Over all everything other than combat is fine but if you want to fight you must have units being put near the city every turn.
