 Rating:  - Definitely different from CiV ... good!This is very different IMO from the original Civ and Civ II. I think it's almost a history lesson disguised as a game.

I played this game a long time ago and I have to tell you it was up there with the Civilizations series. It was simple and easy to learn and Still is. Instead of focusing on the world as the Civ series does this mostly focuses on the time period of the New world and goes up till a little after the period when America becomes independent.
