First 5 minutes

[Althered]

I`m off to watch football so here quickly is my take on loading the game and early impressions. Actually took me an hour to get the bugger to run! I have an Asus mobo and it took me a trip to this forum to realize that the Turboavhelp process was running and prevented me putting the key in. Once I had disabled that the game loaded ok. The in game music is annoying and I found my first bug after trying to switch it off. The volume percentage went from 100 to 47464253987(or such like) when I clicked in the dialog. Clicking again returned it back to normal without further problem, no hangs or crashes etc.
Gameplay.
This is definitely a Civilization type game, even a clone if I am honest. It may differ after a number of turns and I hope it does because I have played all the Civ games to death. The text is quite small and maybe I need to change resolution. Graphics look good and the help tips seem useful. I will report back later, possibly tomorrow.
