This is for more 'hard core' political simmers in my opinion cause you actually need to use your head in a hope the AI or your friend, who you could very well hate in the end if you ever finish a game, doesn't screw you over.

This is harder then one would expect as the A.
I, or other player, is always trying to make sure his views get carried on. Playing 2 or 3 turns can take an hour or more due to the amount of info you have available to check before making your decisions. The game was designed for the Mac and this shows in the gfx which are virtually the same on the Amiga. So one for the strategy fans, certainly not for those who want flashy gfx or the casual gamer.
