Hi me was new once too and when me started me got killed by revs and stripped of me starter items, but instead of whining me picked meself back up and try harder, now me great warrior with huge empire that stomp on little whiners who can't do anything for themself and blame everyone else for them lack of skill and brains. why you think textures ugly?? me think game is great and like that it not easy for babies who need hand held.
O i forgot to say if you try all then you find out what is best build. discovery is part of fun of game.
