I just found out about this game last week, downloaded the demo, checked out the forum to see what the community was like and put my order in on Sunday.. I'm now waiting impatiently for the game to be shipped, am in Australia so am worried it will take ages!
I'm a 29 yr old mechanical engineer, long time civ fanatic and trying to wean myself off to another game
Question(s): how long do games normally take to play (typical size and settings)? Does the micromanagement become very time consuming as the game progresses, and does the wait between turns become long (happens in civ)?
