Be prepared to be disappointed.  Under the glitz is a lame strategy game 
that will eventually become repetative and boring.  Maybe they will release 
an expansion where we can play head to head against human opponents.  Until 
then, those of us wanting higher level strategy will be dusting off our 
copies of STARS! -- mine was first installed on a 486 over 10 years ago and 
no other game has come close to given me the value and replayability.  Check 
out rec.games.computer.stars to keep up with it.
