I got this game in the six-pack and thought I'd give it a go last night. So I played a couple of quick games last night with one of the easier campaigns and decided it was much too easy.
So today I fired up the hardest campaign of all, and again, it's just pathetically easy to beat, no challenge whatever. Was this game designed with little kids in mind or something?
Anyhow, it's kind of a pity, since the graphics and sounds are quite nice. But it's missing some important features.
By far the most annoying thing is that you don't get a message about which building has finished where - and you can't set the messages to tell you either. This means that every time you hear the "thump" of a finished building you have to trawl around all your provinces trying to figure out which one finished its building. It doesn't take long before this gets very, very tedious.
Another problem is that there doesn't seem to be any way to set the difficulty level yourself, you can only select a harder campaign. But as I said, even the hardest campaign is a complete pushover.
You get version 1.01 with the six-pack, does anyone know if there were later versions with improved gameplay?
