What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
XP SP2 Compatibility mode doesn't help - causing the game to get 'stuck' in the menus, nor does running as an administrator, running at minimum graphics, running it with single core affinity, running it in a Windows XP virtual machine with a single core.
The gameplay is an absolute blast and it's one of my favorite genres of game, but it just doesn't work.
While the campaign offers unique victory conditions and difficulties for each scenario, you can access everything you could possibly need to create the most grand of Egyptian cities if you so desired almost straight from the beginning.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 3 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
