For those who have freqented the worlds of Sid Meier before, this purchase should come as second nature: you will not be disappointed.Alpha improves all of the original concepts of Civilization 2 and adds some of its own-such as borders, social engineering and unit design.Territorial bordersis a simple improvement that is just plain wonderful.Social engineeringtakes some getting used to- I was a sceptic -but after a few tries it is anecessity and adds a new standard to the genere.The technologies alsowill confuse those of us who are not physics and advancedmicrobiology/genetics majors; however, the general idea will not take longto grasp.Trade is improved and varies in ways that the far surpasses Civ2.Unit variety is, well. . . amazing.The Graphics in game play are welldone and the cinematics that appear throughout are top notch.One slightdowner is the diplomatic relations: a few more choices, but not much changeoverall.When advancing the difficulty setting Alpha still falls into theold trap of just making the computer's units stronger, which can befrustrating.On the other hand, perhaps it is just reducing the advantagethe player's units hold in easier settings.
A word of warning: this gamecan be detrimental to one's GPA if not used with caution.Addiction willfollow quickly if moderation is not enforced.I recommend having a friendor roommate hide the CD on occasion.
Few games will provide as many hoursof enjoyment as this one will.More fun for your dollar!
