One of my all time favorite games. As a kid, every year my grandfather would come into town for Thanksgiving and throughout that weekend my dad, him and I would play a game hotseat while the others watched football. We probably did that for 8-10 years. Some very fond memories. You can get it pretty cheap on GOG.

I think it's held up reasonably well. The AI is pretty weak, but I think overall it's still a fun game.

It is super snowbally, but I never really had a problem with the set places of towns. That always just seemed like a different design choice than Civ's, and I appreciated that (1) it gave something very tangible to fight over and (2) it limited the micromanagement that was present in early civ games.

Movement was definitely powerful on the map, though.
