Been playing this since the alpha, great fun for those who liked slower paced games. If you're not the patient type, probably not the game for you though.

I loved Colonization (Sid Meier's followup to Civilzation) which is very much in the same vein (and setting) as this game. Just the other day I was considering powering up the Atari ST version of Colonization on the Pocket PC emulaton, so I'll definitely be checking this out.
