I agree with LEN, the demo definitley gives a boiled down civ experience. But then I'm used to Marathon/Epic game length so I was alarmed to be reaching the middle ages by 100 turns.

The game looks nice IMO, the interface is also much better -the prompts about things happening are useful and should peel the layers off the onion, helping the player get more involved with population management (which was always quite arcane and micro/chore heavy) -for example.

The RPS review is somewhat disconcerting however - I'm not sure i really want a "baby" civ. Civ for me is about being a complete agrophobe and having a serious game against AI (much, ironicaly as was/is my interest in TW games). I stand to be rather disapointed if that's not what this will deliver...
