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

Looks indeed very mutch live civ5. Maybe a little too mutch. Does it compare in any ways?

Looks like there's a demo to try...

Havent played it but it being a Paradox game you can expect some hard core strategy. Please beware Paradox has a firm disbelief in manuals. I've been playing EU III on and off for few years and I think it's a really ok game but the lack of a decent manual was frustrating

I watched some of the play though you posted and it seems like even the guy who did the play though was surprised by some aspects which says to me there is no manual or even a civilipedia type thing.. I guess it can make it interesting but.. I might get this one as it is something that it looks like I could play against my 11 yr old

Alright, I'll take one for the team (not really, I will just play the demo)
