I bought it today.
So....I installed it and loaded it up. Then it went back to the desktop. I said "WTF!!! Crashed already", but then it continued.
Kind of disappointed that there are no secnarios....but I don't play them often. Anyway....on to the game.
I started as Russia......I mean CornEmpire. On a standard world with 6 other civs. Planted my city. Oh my God the gold!!! The was gold everywhere!!!
Luckly the terrian and movement/order keys are almost identical, so I was able to explorer pretty easily. So I built a spearman for defence of CornEmpire Capital, then I built another worker. The first one was busy building a road over the mountians to the Gold. So my city was size 2. My border expanded because of my great culture. Then I built a warrior. Suddenly I'm almost out of money. WTF!!! Oh yeah.....units require gold instead of trade for support.
Now while this is going on my scout is exploring like mad. And I find more interisting resources like Gems, Spice, Cattle. I also see these mushroom like things growing on the side of the mountians...weird. So my warrior start exploring and I run into the mushrooms. "The Gahindi teach you writing" WTF!!! Those are huts! I wish I knew that!! So then my scout went to a few huts and I got a settler and a few advances.
So I built a city....but by this time I was down to 5 gold!!! My spearmen and warrior were draining all my money!! But my second city fixed that problem.
So my workers are building roads all over the place, and I'm still exploring...haven't met the AI yet.
Things that I haven't got working...and other gripes:
Build Queue - Can't figure it out
Tax/Science/Lux rate - Can't figure out how to change it
There are a few minor bugs in cursor placement while naming your tribes
And the music isn't great. Time to load up my midis.
Well....I'll be back later to continue...I'm in 2190 BC right now...so it's still early.
