What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The gameplay is deep and interesting, and rewards a player for playing well both tactically and strategically.
Graphics are great (although this is a game from the early 2000's, so don't expect cutting-edge graphics like games nowadays) and do a great job showing the pure scale of each game.
Multiplayer is just as good - coordinate with a friend or compete against them in 4X/RTT combined gameplay.
For a game with no up-front campaign mode (OK, there are story missions that form short campaigns), this game has one heck of a story.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 2 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
