A decent game that I enjoyed

by  akuji,   Mar 26, 2007

Pros:  epic battles through the ages

Cons:  some big gaps between epochs

The Bottom Line:  A fun way to spend sometime, but not one of my top games by any stretch.

Author's Review

This was a decent game, with a few flaws that made the game less than what it could have been, but over all not to bad of a game that provided me many hours of enjoyment.

The game takes place at the very roots of human civilization, the cave man times, fire just recently discovered and you have to pull your people through the many challenges of life in constant reach for the advantage over the other empires of earth, but with each reach out old challenges become less and new challenges are born, such as the need to take flight in the atomic epoch, just after mastering the high seas in the imperial epoch. The Epochs are gathered after every empire has reached a certain level of accomplishment, and these epochs allow a civilization to advance. In this game there are about a dozen or so epochs ranging from the caveman days to the nano age.

The problem is that some of the epochs far out reach the previous needs of the last epoch. I once was ready assault my enemy, had a huge army of horse riding swordsmen and a heavily defended base on there shore, but when I went in for the attack my enemy had reached the next epoch and machinegun units and air planes destroyed that army with little effort, and I had to make quick adjustments to my game play.

Once a structure is built you can not destroy it, even if its completely useless, stables are not need in the atomic age, but if you still have them from the imperial age than they are there to stay, a rather annoying fact.

The game is either really easy, or extremely long winded, often enough the latter is true so be ready to spend at least an entire day playing an active game.
