Hi All,

After playing this game for 30 minutes, and browsing around here, it's become clear to me that, just like Travian, etc. this is another populous game that goes to great lengths not to mention the term 'war game' in any banner adverts or the like.

The reason for this is obvious - you can pull people in thinking they can play a mini-populous game with a bit of fighting, but if you tell the truth and let them know that the game is, at the end of the day, another mass-war-game which will exclude family, girlfriends and the like, then they generally won't be interested (this isn't a dig at mass-war gamers - it's just not my bag).

So I guess my question is - and please don't flame - is there a populous-type game online that *doesn't* involve mass-war efforts? (Because that's the game that I'll actually pay money to play).
