4 out of 5 stars Fun game   October 8, 2008
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

I've enjoyed learning this game. Its not simple that I get bored but not so hard I can't play it to relax. I like that each island has its own strengths and weaknesses and items it can't produce which forces you to colonize other islands. I like the diplomacy and the items you can research in the school. It reminds me a little Masters of Orion II which I also love, so maybe I'm biased. I do have one complaint that I can't seem to get the trade function to work. I'm either misinterpreting the instructions or I'm just plain wrong, but manually sending my ships around is very annoying. The graphics are good for a strategy type game, and I enjoy the different characters of the other computer players. I've played for two days straight.

You can spend over two hours playing this game without realizing it!
I would have liked to have been able to create islands from scratch in the world editor but the ability to create your own worlds adds another dimension to this game. Great game!

I thoroughly enjoy the different aspects of this game. Exploring the map to trade between players or trying to turn your colony to the next best thing. Excellent game
