Republic? Gold? Nice!
I just hope it's not another Black & White with a good concept, but bad gameplay.

Sorta. You have to use various methods to assume control of a fiction former Soviet republic.

PCPP smacked it about quite a bit:
"The biggest disappointment since Black and White." - Well, I kinda liked B&W.
"Were you expecting a hard core RTS where you could control a nation and roll tanks down the main street in a glorious military coup? Man, did you buy the wrong game." - I wasn't expecting an RTS, but its good to know that the dreaded Religious Right Rush won't be a valid tactic.
"I'm not kidding. Republic is, even after its fairly moderate hyping over the last couple of years, a colossal disappointment. One of those disappointments that has you shaking your hear - how could your expectation of this game have been so wrong?" - Damn, this doesn't sound good.
"Right about now you're reaching for the manual, the first time you've done this since Falcon 4.0. This game is anti-intuitive. There is no way to determine what to do nesxt without reading, reading, reading. You will curse all the dump FPS games that had pointless tutorials while this complex enigma has nothing. Even the manual is written like a politics textbook: 'Successful Support Attacking Actions turn Proles to a Neutral outlook; get ready to follow up with a Support Gathering Action', as is says in the 'Getting Started' section on page 12." - Well, this doesn't sound good. Though it might cut down on piracy. But it will make the budget versions a bitch on the level of CtP:2 without documentation.
The results:
"For:
Original Concept
Detailed Game System
Big Game World
Against:
Inaccessible
Abstract
Ordinary graphics
Overall:
As a board game, it would have rocked. On PC, it's totally obscure.
64%" - Then again, its the kind of game where maybe first time through its obscure, but as you learn the systems it becomes more fun.
Damnit. First I hear Lionheart sucks, now my favourite mag rips up Republic. At least Silent Storm rocks.
