5/5 star review on Amazon:
For starters, it is 240 A4 pages in full colour throughout. The colour adds to the sheer beauty of this guide.

Secondly, it is *very* comprehensive. For example, there are three A4 pages devoted to each and every leader/tribe, introducing both the leader, its unique strengths and passive benefits, and a half page conclusion as to how this tribe plays. With a 2 page introduction, this is 56 pages about the tribes.

At the beginning of this guide, there are 33 pages describing the opening options, basic gameplay and changes from Civ 4. Following the extensive pages about the tribes/leaders, there 84 pages about the units, buildings, wonders and technologies, each with at least a long paragraph, maybe two paragraphs.

There follows a brief section on Tiles, Resources and Improvements, and 60 pages on the Principles of Victory. Short sections on Multiplayer games and Achievements round off this book.

Basically, this is a great standard for a Strategy Guide, one which other guides would do well to emulate.
