I agree the game is beautiful and addictive...but not for long. The entire game can be summed up as a mindless clickfest. Everything is random clicking, it doesn't matter which building or tech you pick, everyone ends up in the same place in the same amount of time. You end up getting all the techs anyway, so research becomes meaningless.
The computer players just want war all the time, and the AI is weak. Also, taking over cities is very frustrating, requiring hundreds of units to take over a decent sized city. I won't even get into how aggrivating it is when a catapult destroys my attack helicopters or musketmen take out my marines.
Needless to say, I played this for a day or two and uninstalled it.

This game is awesome - it's only a "mindless clickfest" if you choose to play it that way. It is a very open ended game that lets you choose the historical path of your chosen civilizaion. Not all of the civs get to the same place at the same time unless you let them, and combat is based on a earned trait system based on your units' experience. Thus more experienced "lesser" units can defeat greener more "advanced units" - this adds to the strategy, you have to really think out your plans of attack in wartime instead of throwing your units at enemy cities.. Very, very addictive game once you get going with it, you will stay up late into the night wanting "one more turn" to complete your plans...
Also, make sure you have the RECOMMENDED specs for your comp. and not the MINIMUM requirements, as this game is very detailed and taxes even the strongest PCs...

Too easy, every other Civ game has had the element of toughness, a slight difference for which ever civilisation you chose, not this time, now it does not matter who you choose they are all the same, frustrating to the point of annoyance, I managed to complete the game in 3 hours, out of all the Civ genre games I must vote for Alpha Centauri with expansion disc, at least with that format, the different Civ's had different goals.

Hello Phenom, just to answer your question...I have no idea what the name of the song is but I can help you get it. After you install the game just go to start, search, for files or folders, then click on all files and folders, then type openingmenu. Just like that, no spaces. You will get the song you are looking for. And, just a tip to everyone out there that has heard a song in a game or anything that you really like...always remember that the game is only able to play those sounds or songs because they are installed onto your computer when you install the game so you can find any songs that are in the game somewhere in the main folder that the game was installed in. Hope that helps :)
