katya_stevens: Do you have any specifics for this? I admit, I looked in on a video and didn't find it overly enthralling (it seemed like a case of get more mana than the computer opponent, then bash them away).
It is very much like Populous, but the enemy AI is quite shrewd. And often there are multiple enemies, who will assault each other as well as you. The most difficult thing for me is getting my population sufficiently established and spread out, so that they aren't too vulnerable to large area catastrophes. But I'm only half-way through the first realm of the universe and I'm already getting my ass handed to me over and over. So it would seem I need to up my strategy.
katya_stevens: Also, Halfway seeing as I think you mentioned you bought it :P
I've not played it, so I can't comment on it yet, but the premise interests me. I actually don't even own it yet, since it's on my Secret Santa list, so I just bought a gift version that will redeem for myself if I don't get it in the SS swap.
ddickinson: I bet this whole Secret Santa event is a bitter-sweet thing for the generous folks like you and trentonlf. It must be so hard for you two to not be able to ninja gift people. :-)
It is frustrating, yes. Fortunately I was able to take it out on my SS recipient, who frankly has had it coming for a long while. :)
