For some reason I am quite found of this game. I remember buying it and being overwhelmed by the difficulty, I dropped it for a few months and suddenly picked it up again. There is just something about this game. The colors, icons, textures. There is something that is almost divine to me. It is so hard to explain. But when you look at them, do you not feel the same or something similar? All the feelings I had while playing this game are so indescribable. This game is divine to me. None of my peers in life ever understood what makes me so attracted to it. But I would play it again for a thousand life times and more. Eternal. Eternal is the right word.

Ranking this game is not an easy task, really, the game itself (without mods and stuff like that), sucks really bad because it simply has no flavor or contents aside from the basic administration and war mechanics. I'd say it is only a really good experience once you install mods like GFM and DOD. To put it simply, vanilla is really bad, modified is awesome.

This game is good mechanically although after a few games it gets repetitive since there's a lack of variety and flavor overall. You might want to play with mods after trying out the base game.
