My brother bought it a while ago; I played it a bit. There was a lot more realism in it than Civ 2, especially warfare, territory, diplomacy and so on. I like the trading, and the resources. Only there's never enough resources! And I'd
finally find an iron resource and build a colony off in woop woop where it was, and it'd run out a few turns later. Very frustrating! Which is what makes it more realistic I guess
