What a game! I remember playing this back in the 90's and loving it. Coming back to it in 2026 still brings the same vibes. The UI is dated and a bit clunky, but the game is still so playable. Funny lines, colorful characters, well balanced dynamics. I wish they made a new version! To make this work on Linux: (1) Delete WAIL32.DLL from the game folder...

Delete WAIL32.DLL otherwise it will not launch. Other than that great game with very good AI
Rose Vision Googles but this is a great game
I enjoy playing this game, a tiny amount of politics, a lot of strategy, the AI puts up a good fight, some buiding and development. There are more complicated and more challenging games, but when you want a quick game (1-2 hours) that's still gives a challenge, this fits the bill. Each game you play has a generated map so you never play the same map...
