You get 40 turns of almost full featured play (some of the nations are disabled). While the graphics aren't top end, they're nice. It's massively multi-platform, which makes /me/ happy, since I'm on a mac. My only complaint about it is that wars are handled entirely by the computer. While there's a ton of stats and combat options, you don't really have tactical control of any of them - thus, pretty much, it reduces to comparing the sizes of the boxes on the map and hoping that if mine is bigger then theirs, that means I'll win. Which usually works. X. It’s a really fun game – and has a sweet demo. You get 40 turns of almost full featured play (some of the nations are disabled).
