Unfortunately. Have there been improvements since launch though?

Only got through one game over that free weekend, albeit by opening the game right before it was to expire at 4PM Eastern on Sunday, then not closing it until I beat it later that evening. I agree that it's a decent Civ game, but not an amazing one at this point. I'd have to compare it to Civ IV or V at launch, in the way that it was a good game but needed an expansion or two to make it really worth it.

Voting Pan-Asia with Engineers and Machinery, plus Retrograde Thrusters.

Similar in overall quality, I agree, but for very different reasons. Civ V at launch was a solidly made game, but also bland, repetitive, and exhausting. BE at launch has some really amazing ideas that make it worth your time, but as a whole is spotty and has questionable design choices that really detract from the overall experience. Also the UI is butt fuckin' ugly.
