Me too. Almost entirely solo play but for medical reasons. Most of the MP
games are 1 turn a day but there are days, sometimes 2 or 3, that Im
pretty zombied out

But yeah I love the game on many levels. The strategy is SOoooooo deep.
Ive had games that died in a month because someone posted a killer walk-
thru. This game is still hotly debated years after its release. The
graphics and sound are kindof last decade but if you are willing to
sacrifice those to game play its pretty slick.

I also love that its a Linux game, ported to Windows and Mac. Everyone
can play it but it loves Linux. And the CD comes with all 3. So I can
play it from my Windows desktop but run MP games on my linux server. (an
still use it on a Mac portable when I get one)

Hmm.. I should probably mention that I dont play it solo in vanilla mode
anymore. That did keep me interested for a couple of years (more than
most games) but now I have a collection of mods that add more More MORE
MUAHAhahahahhaa!
