Those have got to be the best graphics and flight models I have ever seen. :noid
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.

Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

When the game is over, the Kings and Pawns all go into the same box.

Looks pretty good for a phone/pad game.

My personal favorite Sid Maier games are Silent Service I/II and Pirates!.

Btw. Pirates! was remade in 2004 by Firaxis. Pretty fun game.
