THE GOOD: Concept of Armies is good. Much better graphics. Menus allow easier managament of cities.
THE BAD: What is up with the game crashing when loading a saved game? What happened to the city view?
SUMMARY: If you can handle turn based, this is the game for you. CTP 2 has some nice upgrades to enhance the original. Watch out for those stealth units, they can ruin your whole century.
Overall the game was pretty good. I have so far only played a couple rounds in the campaign, but am suitably impressed. I never heard much about the Win32 version so I did start off "virgin" so to speak. I also have not tested multi-player but expect it to be pretty good.
The only bad thing was that when there were a large number of armies in a battle, there was sometimes a bit of pause before I could move my own army during my turn.
