This game is indeed quite old, but the graphics are still acceptable. There are several levels of difficulty, but the missions will be unable to cope for beginners. Most of the time you will spend anyway most likely in the "endless game" in which no destinations are specified. What I really like that one is not forced to make war with rivals. If you want to only build and manage comes just at its expense as the strategist who prefers to command his troops (assuming you are playing on a level of difficulty in which no pirates appear). No matter what modes and what difficulty you choose, in every game you start with his ship on which some commodities are stored, which are the basis for future settlement. It is therefore necessary to find a suitable island and to satisfy with some production chains, the needs of the population, but this is more and more difficult the longer you play. This is because that the population "rising", ie. from the initial pioneers who make do with food and fuel, are settlers, citizens, merchants and finally aristocrats who consume more and make other claims. Who decides to buy this great simulation, should bring a lot of time and patience, because this is not a game that can be learned completely right the first Preview. There many attempts to have the necessary experience needed as is a game to thrive.
