Has anyone checked this out yet? $20 on steam, looks exactly like Civ5 (but doesn't use the same engine), and I've read some good things about the game play, except that the end game is a bit of a slog.
I think I'll keep it on my wishlist to see if it becomes part of the Steam Summer Sale.
edit: Next patch will have multiplayer
