First time I saw this game on friend's computer and it was love at first sight!
Game is very nicely playable mix of economics (much) and little combat (not so good made) but what I always anjoy most in that type of games is just watching how it all works.
Animations ale well made and so nicely looking. graphic is drawn good so game doesn't look so old.
Play it at least to watch how your settlers do their work...
