Well so far so good, its fun, quite early into the game. Music isn't really noticeable yet, maybe as I advance that steps it up a notch, certainly IV had great music.
I'm not quite sure what to think yet about the neutral cities, so far they surround my territory and usually ask for help with barbarians or to join them in war against another neutral city. You can walk on their territory but it reduces your influence with them, you get no warning if before you walk into a square of theirs so keep that in mind.
Time for some dinner and then back to my mad hAxZoRs game.
