I feel like this game starts to seriously lack in replayability value over time, The city building aspect is fine, I like the Upkeep system and so on, but there are many smaller things that literally prevents me in my opinion to use whatever map I deem to my wishes and build freely, Terraforming Is one of them this very feature of not being able to change the ground you wish to build on as far as I know, really keeps this title back...
And also the Military aspect of this game, is really extremely simplisic its almost retarded, you have to build 20 and what not amount of barracks to just be able to have an respectively sized army, not that its an issue but you can only have 1 Squad each barrack. fine enough if you lose your soldiers in battle they will retreat and head back to their barracks, but it leads to a dissappointment with this aspect. The entire military and warfare part of this game is CHEAP!

Buildings and Varieties: Buildings and so on can't really complain about them, they do their job and it works. But just because it works dont mean it's nearly as good as It could have been, yeah yeah I know I know its an old game, but i've played older games with far more depth and refined complexity but still overcomeable aspects. To move on about it, It becomes really linear what you can do at the end of the day in this game, I feel very obstructed compared to other games, but yeah I get the vibe this game is very casual and its doing good in being casual but I would always appreciate a more depth into it all. But the gameplay and building mechanics are Good, dont get me wrong.

Performance and Stability: For me I have no issues with this game I run it on Windows 10, with relevant hardware of today with no stuttering, lag or and game breaking bugs, So far I haven't seen any direct bugs, Very Good stability A+ for a game that age well.

All In All: Yeah I can recommend the game no problem, its a good game for the price, even though I wish there were alot more to it. I haven't played the campaign myself so I might miss something important, but If you're looking for a building game that is not too expensive and is relatively okay, well this might be for you :) Thanks for reading and also keep in mind some people on the forum has some issues with the game with Windows 10. But that might be more Hardware related.
