Been eyeing this game for a couple years now and am just about to cave in with them holiday sales still up, but wanted to ask if it's enjoyable enough or even possible to automate a lot of the game and concentrate just on the diplomatic or economic aspects of the game?

from what i've seen you can automate as much or little as you want, so basically its your own decision :)

I find the game can be set up for any play-style mood I happen to be in.

Most of the time I play with nothing automated. I micromanage everything which generally takes all my concentration. (Not to mention a great deal of time to play through a game...)

However, there are times when I just don't feel like going the hardcore route and just want to "pick away" at something while watching tv. For those days I automate about 90% of the game - only interrupting the game to influence research or take control of a fleet to go on a pirate hunt or put the boots to a nearby alien race.

I've found either way is just as much fun!

So by all means, cave in and grab a copy while it's on sale.

Thanks for the answers. I kinda figured you can automate pretty much everything, but you could technically play Total war games for the diplomacy only, but we all know what a travesty that would be.

Anywho, caved, bought and looking forward to sucking at playing.
