Great game the uses the same fomula as the previous 2. The graphics improvments are nice, but other than that that's all that has changed. It is still and incredibly fun game. Some of the units are unbalanced, spears beating armies with guns sometimes. But those are not too bad if you have a huge army. The sound is ok, and it's fairly easy to get in the game and have the computer automate most of the functions if you don't want to do too much. Won't find better out there on the market.
