The gm may be starting a new game, or you may want to look into games like Olympia which I think have better long-term characteristics. I played in Atlantis 3.0 but dropped after I got behind in the initial race for resources, and figured I would never catch up with the leaders. All of these games are pretty complicated and it helps to have an experienced friend to show you the ropes. - g Referenced By Up
