One of the first strategy games i played.
There were many good things in this game, like you needed to have some mandatory stuff to allow city to grow, good diplomacy system with leaders advancing throught ages and changing their clothes (sorry, Lincoln, no suit for you in ancient era). Also some of extra scenarios were amazing, like Japan one.

Sadly combat, while interesting, was pretty random and balance of some civs and abilities was bad (some civilizations were a lot worse than others).
