Anybody played this yet? I got it and in the last two ages, you can update your trade routes to "Iron Horses." You get a cool 4-4-0 that either brings you experience points, wood, gold, or food to your trading posts.

This game turned into a multi-hundred dollar fiasco! Be sure you have a processor over 1.4 Ghz!

It could be your graphics card too. Thats my only problem. My graphics card can't keep up with the boat battes, thus I'm forced to only play land maps.

Where can I see what graphics card I have? That's one part of computers I don't really understand.

Long story short... it probably is.

Long story long... I bought a new mainboard and AMD processor (I hear you Intel people snickering) but decided against upgrading to PCI-E and stuck with the Radeon AGP card. Windows (I hear you Linux and Mac folks ROTF) unstable, shuts down. Unable to FDisk or reformat hard drive, I am now paying a pro to fix it.
