I have found the game to be quite immersive, challenging and enjoyable thus far, but that is speaking only for the gameplay. Running on a P2 (450) with 200mb of RAM, Voodoo5 5500 supplying the graphics, I have to say I have yet to get through a single game, due to the constant hangs and crashes. Please don't anybody tell me you waited until truly confident it was a stable product before shipping... Clearly some marketing monkey held the development team to an unrealistic schedule (speculation, I know, but I feel justified in my irritation). Finally, things like when you adjust the volume settings in the game your OS settings are changed just bug me to no end. Didn't have time to develop your own routine and just called the window API directly? That is plain shoddy.
I do not want to give the impression that I do not like this game or that I will not continue to play it. I simply want to communicate to those quantity over quality boobs out there that this would be a much more enjoyable product if the time had been taken to finish it.

no hangs or crashes. voodoo 5500 piii 128 megs of ram. 3/4's through the first game. It's not worth 50 bucks.
maybe 29.99 which is what I paid at Best Buy. I originally paid 50 but they put it on sale 1 week later and gave me 21 bucks back on price match.
Not enough new to make a new game over. boarders are nice, diplomacy isnt that cool or not described very well in the book to be effective, i'm stupid.
The age changed from infantry and calvary to machinegunner and planes too quick, almost immediatly.
The human player on med difficulty gets most of the wonders. They still tried to hard to stay away from civ II wonders, I still don't like their wonders better. Pollution management is ambigous*. Still like the trade routs and public works. But its not much new. Now it takes several 5-25 carvans to make a trade rout but it dosent break with piracy. It's not new enough to have the bran new civ feel. IMHO.
