Hi mate,
Dunno about the Airfix game they made regarding complexity- Airfix was a company that used to produce kits of aircraft, warships and later on soldiers- I grew up painting Royal Navy ships they depicted. My son would laugh, but that was exciting (buying a kit) back then!!
The beauty of Civ is an 8 year old could understand the game, whilst EU would be beyond them, yet EU might be the next game they want at 13, little steps instead of little head-butts on console.
Complexity of a game I feel is largely irrelevant from the age of 15, and the peak of IQ is likely reached whilst an 18-25 year old and studying, (If future work doesn't tax the brain) then.....- Mensa have a constant arguement about it- nature or nurture?
Ukranian Flag: I'd never fly it by my nickname, If I were able I'd put at half-mast at the bottom of a post, If needed, which it isn't.
Seems to me that as Putin wants a reincarnation of the Soviet Union by quelling all opposition by fair means or foul, the East of the Ukraine agree with him, for that is what they'll get- papers closed down and no freedom.
The west side is still majority Ukranian nationals, they look to the EU, if a schism (spelling?) happens, then good- It'll show Putin he has support only from Russians living in other lands like the Eastern part.
Putin has been quietly turning into a dictator without the US, UK and Germany saying a word- he 'aint there yet, but it's getting close.
Just my thoughts!

Ps, Any Germans on the board? You are the traditional link with Russia- How are papers reporting it in Germany?- I'd "give my right arm" to hear a German diplomats view on the current ex-Soviet Union under Putin, all ex- nations that escaped included.
