Advantages: Many!

Disadvantages: Kids on line!

My other half bought me this game for Christmas 06 and I have not stopped playing it! You can either play the game by yourself, working your way through the scenarios given to you in the basic package or you can go on line and play against the world!! Whenever I have logged on there has been anywhere from 1,000 to over 4,000 people on line at any one time depending on the time of day and day of the week.

The graphics are brilliant, you can choose a variety of countries to play as and each country has a different strategy and strong attributes.

You can choose to play a long "no rush" game say 45 mins which gives you time to build your ecomony up and a good army then everyone (up to 8 players (4 v 4)) attacks at once or you can play no rules and fight to be the first to attack and destroy the other teams. Attack too soon and you run the risk of using up all your resources or attack to late and loose the element of surprise!

As I have said, the graphics are brilliant and the sound very effective!!

Summary: Very addictive!
