Everyone should play this game

A wonderful game for the time -- but the engine quickly showed its limitations as the scope of the game grew -- Hoping the second game is a worthy successor.

Always has been pay to win-- I fell for it and have probably spent $700 on this game since launch (with most of my spending being 4+ years ago). Now the game is too complicated to draw me back in. -- And there is no way to see your playtime ... or at least it is no obvious.
