So: from what I gather, I think Solium Infernum might be more fun with people willing to learn the 4D chess clownfuckery going on.
I've played a bit on single player vs bots and I remember someone saying "it's like Civilization in Hell" I'd have to disagree. It's like Risk and something else.
Not sure I actually like it, which is dumb of me to say after spending like 4 hours on it but I wanted to be fair.
