It is very similar to the original only with souped up graphics and the
ability to direct the fighting of the armies. However I soon found that
there wasn't much I could actually do with the armies (they start lined up
face to face so not much room for maneuvering) and the computer general
always (100%) took less causalities than me so I opted out of that part.

As for the city building, it is almost exactly the same, a couple of new
building types but the dependencies and requirements are the same....I have
to admit it got pretty boring, I would set up a self-sufficient city that
was profitable and then essentially just sit there and watch the years go
by until I had amassed enough for the next level. 

Sorry, but I went all the way through and then removed it...sigh.
