	My impressions and rating of first game finished Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

I just finished my first game.. nice game..I played the Superb Greeeks!! they rock...I played on chieftain , five other civs Biggest map available..continents wet and warm 3 Billion years.

I was thoroughly please with the AI.. even when they attacked at the least little riff between us!!

I loved the Graphics I loved the upgrading and the overall-challenge from the gamestyle. I played Bloodlust and will noww try another civ and have similiar setup. I won and loved the end of game "Council-meeting!! they kinda talk smack how you lucked out or such..OH YEAH..in game, I did something ridiculous demand.. and the AI response was outrageous!! ..they said something like"I have 3 words for you.. "Increase your medication"..

Hmm..did I mention I loved the grtaphics..Sweet Battleship..and well..the Greek Tank..it kinda reminded me of a less than Super Tank..VERY Realistic for what Greece would have..I love the Galley..and well..I am just tickled overall...!!

Now a few points I DID NOT CARE FOR!!!

1) When turn starts/ends,, a message comes up saying pollution or rioting or whatever in a city, it should stop on that city, it doesnt, it S-P-E-E-D-S throught o the next message, then you gotta go back to find that city!

2) Rush buying in early city stages not allowed, saying you cant or it will cost "X" citizens.

3) Rush Buying Wonders not allowed..mmm..er..uh.. ..well..it makes me have a 50% Pro 50% con on whether I like it,

4) I wish we could have a ROUND GLOBE..not a flatworld, I know, its a trait of Civ games..I just got spoiled by CTP, afterall, it would make it more interesting if you couldnt go hide in a corner, but rather have to defend all side


Over-all, out of a 100 score possible, I have to give it a resounding Troll-Roll ...92!!

Yours In Civin

Under Despotism or Communism, rush buidling is done with citizens instead of money.

It's impossible to have a round world with it still being aestheticly pleasing (or 3D) what CTP did was a donut world, shaped like a donut (ie a hole in the middle) which is just plain silly, I'd rather have a cylinder with polar caps on each end.
