I finally got my EB black box pre-order, worked out the temporary ATI card graphics fix, and this game just blows me away in every way! All the things which were simplified don't bother me, even the fewer techs (I think they are fewer).
If there was one thing I would change in this game, however, it would be spies. I cannot believe that #1) You can't get them until you develop Scotland Yard (looks like an industrial tech), and that #2) all the espionage actions are unlocked at one time.
The game needs a SERIOUS espionage overhaul! One of the things that makes Computer TBS games favorable to me over board games is how well they can do so many of the "secretive" little aspects of gaming.
Also, this is an added question to you folks: how are you liking the whole "units leave enemy territory when you declare war" on an ally you have open borders with? Does this mean no more surprise attacks? I'm not sure I dislike this, I mean, it has its advantages.
