Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
XP SP2 Compatibility mode doesn't help - causing the game to get 'stuck' in the menus, nor does running as an administrator, running at minimum graphics, running it with single core affinity, running it in a Windows XP virtual machine with a single core.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay is an absolute blast and it's one of my favorite genres of game, but it just doesn't work.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
While the campaign offers unique victory conditions and difficulties for each scenario, you can access everything you could possibly need to create the most grand of Egyptian cities if you so desired almost straight from the beginning.
