So I downloaded the demo and worked my way through the tutorial, but I still haven't decided how I feel about it. On the one hand, it's absolutely frigging awesome to see battle of that magnitude. On the other hand, you are always playing against the AI.

I can't really pin down why this game doesn't completely click with me. I understand that it's a balance between expansion and defense which is the element that made games like Civilization, Master of Orion and Master of Magic so compelling, but the sense that the computer is simply scaling it's forces according to your expansion just feels... cheap....

And yes, I know that the previously listed games did exactly that, but they at least made a pretense of playing by the rules. When you strip that away, you still have a good game but there's a sense that something is missing.

Anyway, let me know what you think...
