As long as you are aware that this game has nothing to do with the actual history (slavery...), this is the best "civilization" game of all time. it's even better than its civ4-based remake, the wagon train/ship trade system is massively powerful, and you can move your pops to different cities. therefore, specialized cities are king in this game, to a much larger extent than in any civilzation out there.
