Well its early days yet and I'm still plodding through the Tutorial so I'll reserve comment on it for later but at the moment I'm quietly pleased with it. The visuals aren't mind blowing, but are pleasing and do the job, the interface is OK but the main thing is, it has great depth and remains true to the author's concepts and corners haven't been cut to appease the casual gamer.
Initially I wasn't sure about it because I for one are not particularly fond of the campaign mode in the likes of the Total War series and Civilisation is an absolute turn off for me, but the strategy in this from the little I've seen has more appeal because there is so much going on and in Real Time too, perhaps too much once the various spies, rogues and assassins have been infiltrated, alliances made and broken - and the actual RTS battles could be an anti-climax, have to see.
In the meantime I googled for a game review and came up with a rather nice site which gave a pretty fair appraisal

On another point I read in another thread that you found a certain City Planner game a bit lite because there was no traffic control, ie traffic lights - well on one of my explorations I saw in a catalogue just such a title. There was an element of city planning but the main aim of the game was traffic management, with working traffic lights - the whole caboodle. I'll look it up for you if you want
