What is it about this game?

Well, I've had CtP for a while now, but I just can't seem to get into it. That baffles me, since on the surface it seems just like Civ2, only with better graphics and some neat new ideas. But somehow it just doesn't "grab" me. Granted, I'm still relatively new to Civ games in general, and still very much a novice, but CtP just seems to be missing something. I can't put my finger on it, but it seems to plod along at a much slower pace, even at a decent difficulty level and the speed turned up. Anyone else feel like this?

It's not quite like Civ 2. Perhaps, what you want is more challenge. If so, go to http://apolyton.net/wes and download his Medieval Mod, that will give you a more challenging game.
