After playing the game for about 8 hours, following are my most significant observations/suggestions. 1) The native life all but disappears mid to late game, which is unfortunate because I enjoy this feature 2) The "economy" window is small and tough to sort through for comparison purposes...

I'm using Windows 7 with a AMD Phenom II X6 1045T Processor, 2.7 Ghz, 64 bit, and 8 GB RAM. The video card is AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series.

Overall, I am very impressed. The game installed seamlessly and I haven't had a crash in the first 90 minutes of play. The game has certainly kept my interest with it's depth and randomness. Unless the AI fails in the late game, I anticipate a high degree of replayablility similiar to the Civlizatio...
