Initially, it is very complex, and the amount of basics to play the game is somewhat overwhelming.. however, it is well worth the time investment and the AI is great.

Also, if you 'just' play it as you may have had in other games.. building large fleets to zerg across the map - you cannot readily win this way.. the administration and logistics and political factors may all need to be taken into account. One you play awhile you'll see for yourself how the game goes and the delicious complexity of it..
