    The rough edges all look to me like bits that were intended to be completed but got pruned back to a few text windows because there was insufficient time to complete the art and test the resulting code. Something extra for them to include in the MGE pack if they want to make it a heavyweight rather than bare bones enhancement.
    To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.

      I also hope that they do fix some of the frills/ambiance gaps. They didn't with Civ2 though. As techies, (and marketers) there interests will lie more with true added features like MP and scenarios than things like the missing wonder movies and poor endgame screens.

                    still can't believe that you can't bribe for votes and i really can't believe that they didn't make the voting graphical in any way. but it's true.


                    minor things, though.

                            Won't "give them some entertainment" simply turn a worker into an entertainer?

                              Nicely done Mark G.

                              The idea of a review consisting of a long series of screenshots with commentary is clever and should definitely be adopted by professional game sites to supplement their main text-reviews.

                              Why is it that the "professional" reviewers never come up with such ideas?
