After playing Gods & Kings, here are my impressions:
- I am still unable to have my advanced settings saved. And there is still no Regenerate Map. This is very frustrating when I want to play a certain game, but don't like the map or starting location or neighboring civs. I would say this is the MOST annoying thing. Couldn't this be fixed in a patch?!!
- It is damn hard to found a religion using certain civs. The Celts always get a religion when in the game. But in my last few games, I have been playing the Korean civ and have yet to found a religion despite concentrating first and foremost on accruing Faith points. In my current game, there were a total of 22 civs on a Huge map at King level and only seven religions allowed. There wasn't anything for me to do with all my faith until I started purchasing Great Engineers later. So this proves that the number of religions is not determined by map size or number of civs.
- The Japanese civ still sucks. They always end up very small. Why? And no matter how much I try to become allies with Tokugawa, even liberating his cities or giving other civ cities to him so he can have a chance, why does he always have to declare war against my civ? This is even when setting to Random Personalities.
- The Danish civ still sucks. They always get wiped out. Why?
- The AI is much friendlier and they're not always trying to declare war. That's good. But there is still not enough ass-kissing when you are overwhelming in power.
- Some of the Wonders seem impossible to achieve by simply turns. I can never get the Forbidden Palace. It seems I just don't have a Great Engineer then. But the AIs never give me a chance to build that. Same goes for the Colossus, Great Library, and Hanging Gardens. But nobody ever wants Stonehenge or Pyramids... So I end up with a bunch of the same Wonders in the beginning.
- The unit jumping thing is still there. Annoying...
- Why can't I choose a state religion?
- Still no replay of the map at the end of the game, right? I really enjoyed seeing the video of how the map changes as time goes by. Too bad.
- Thank God for fair trades now! I can actually trade one for one with civs that don't necessarily like me.
- Hoovering over who's #1 or last does not show which civ it is in Demographics.
- Still no unit loss data.
- The camera control for the map drifts to one direction uncontrollably at times.
- The spies are just not fun. Not yet at least. I liked the sending of spy diplomats in previous versions.
- The Help section is still not helpful. I don't need to know the history of a type of unit. Just tell me what the unit does.
- Can someone explain to me why jungles still give bonuses to Universities? How many real universities are near a jungle?
That's about it for now.
