I don't share your opinion. For 19,99 Euro on steam this game is totally overpriced. Usually strategy games like civ felt natural to play, the haptics were intuitive. For this game I don't really get that feeling, there is no flow, it feels somewhat static.
Not my kind of game and really a little disappointed to have spent almost 20 Euro on this. Hit shappens.
There is some issues here and there but that really has not put a dent in it. I try not to compare it to Civ. Like what I do with many clones. I do not know about flow as it seems to go well for me.
