Difficult but learnable

This is a great game that reduces the mechanics of a good city-builder or 4x title down to the bare minimum. Note that its very difficult, but definitely winnable. It took until maybe my tenth game to survive to get a bronze medal, but each time I played I got a little further so I did feel like I was progressing. My main advice to a new player would be to play up until the Persian invasion. If you cant beat that, restart and try again until you manage to beat them. This game is learnable and there is solid strategy required! While theres an element of luck to this game, Im now at the place where Im consistently beating challenges I thought were impossible at first (the plague) and am almost ready to try hard mode.
