This game is an amalgam of multiple games. Base exploration, facility upgrades and companion interactions are like Mass Effect 2. Card-based combat is like Griftlands. Mission selection screen is like Xcom Chimera Squad. Special effects and cinematics like Avengers movie. Even the main theme...

I have it since Epic early access, played until burned out. I am monitoring their updates, they add new stuff every 2 weeks.

Too complicated to implement and not much gain. I don't even use replay, just undo errors.

If a court scholar can be assigned to be a general, I cannot find a reason why he/she cannot conduct diplomatic or any other non-scholarly mission.

On lower difficulties, yes I don't have to choose settlers, I don't have to choose workers, there is probably no impact. On higher difficulties, it's just going to make things harder if I don't make use of any advantage I can find. Is the reply then going to be "I don't have to play at higher...

This works for players with the 'casual' trait but not for players with the 'perfectionist' trait. It's like saying I don't have to play optimally, just play anyhow and pray that I win.

This feature is just forcing me to build workers from all families. Then I have to check which extra worker can be sent to which city of same family. It does not add value to the game, it is just micromanagement for micromanagement's sake.

I don't understand why there are still so many balance changes needed after a year of early access and a year of full release on epic. What have the early access players been doing? Constant performance optimization and bug fixing is more necessary.

There are more posts on Steam forums than here. Probably CFC is more niche for Civ players, whereas Steam forums also attract players with little Civ experience.

Workers not from same family building stuff slower is adding extra micromanagement without making it more fun. When you capture a new city, you still have to consider getting a worker from same family far away to help, even though there may be another worker nearby.

All 4x games have the same problem: end game gets tedious and boring. Micromanaging the first few cities is fun, but when you have 10 cities, it gets tedious. One solution is to end the game before tedium sets in. Double victory is a step in the right direction. Maybe add a religious victory if...

For some reason, the game lags a lot after resuming a saved game after about turn 100. The game was running fine around turn 100 before I saved the game, but once I exited and resumed the saved game, I need to tune down the graphics setting to play. This is on 8 GB RAM.

What I am asking is: does the succession for AI nations follow my settings?

When I change the succession setting on a new game, does this apply also to all AI nations, or are all AI nations always absolute cognatic?

What is the recommended map size for 8GB RAM?
