IT looked so promising, like a new spin on the excellent Civilisation series of games.
Unfortunately, Trade Empires is nowhere near the standard of such greats, marred as it is by difficult gameplay, horrible graphics and an unhelpful manual.
If you manage to get your trade empire up and running, you have my respect for the endless patience you've shown for this interminably dull game.
