I believe after ten years this is still a really dynamic comunity. EA say they spent ten years working on it, i think it's more like 2 years. I took it on friday. Couldn't play for 3 jours. Then, on a tiny map i started a mining city, then an archology. My minerals never arrived to the place. So i produced for nothing, my mining ressources are empty, water supplies too, and so i can start over or change spécialisation.
70€ is not yet worth it.
The graphics are brilliant, mining etc is nice , wind is cool...Bring that on sc4 ok. Keep the bugs, DRM , tiny maps, ...
