This is a fun, thought provoking game that will have you playing for hours.  This game can be played by almost anyone.  You can either put a lot of effort into planning your next move against the enemy or just barge your way on through.  The only downside is that over time this game becomes a little boring with having the same buildings and people.  But there is a solution.  The expansion pack is also an excellent game and it just adds to your now experienced game stragedies.  Both games are highly recommended
