It improves on a great formula, and the only areas it is lacking in are areas in which no other grand strategy game has ever excelled.

Many interesting new concepts bring fresh life to the game. While my overall impression is good, and it provides fun and challenge, it seems that some of the balance and polish of the previous expansion have been lost. Hopefully this will be remedied in patches.
