    played the first game and loved it. this game feels like a copy where they added a water system and instead of appeasing AI nations you have to appease the gods. cool idea but building an army to conquer the other AI's was the best part of the other game i hope you guys add it to this one. but until then i dont think id play or tell a friend about it.
