Like many have said before me: I'm sad that I'm getting Humankind vibes. With so many options opening up to adjust to the game, then choosing any option only flattens the game out so they become the same. The fun of choosing a unique nation in Civilization is that choice influences available...

All of these problems with the UI, WC, and religion; and Firaxis responds by adding meteors.

Was there an event where you took his rattle?

After playing more: I really like the mechanics of the game. I like the economics, the empire building, the unit maintenance, how your family becomes your governors and generals, how houses affect your empire/cities. All of it is well thought out, and elegantly interconnected. Except the...

The UI is very good in this game. I've been able to find all of the information I need where I expect to see it.

Impossible! Devs can't communicate with consumers. How did you get this information?

Maybe just for fun gameplay reasons?

Not only is the voting mechanism absurd, but the items being voted on are weak and temporary. The world congress does nothing but get in the way in tiny, annoying ways. It's one of my least favorite mechanics in any game I've ever played.

Might not actually be used in the final product. Putting a timer on the AI wouldn't make much sense. What would happen when 10 seconds for an AI city is up? The running process may not be at spot in the code where it can assign any action at all.

A spy sabotaged my industrial zone, and I couldn't even queue up the repairs. Have to come back every turn. This feature is useless.

Climate change will never matter in this game. Even if it had a more devastating effect, all it would do is slow all players down on their way to victory. Whoever is in first place when climate change hits, will still be in first place after it hits. The mechanic doesn't really do anything.

It's impressive that Firaxis came up with a voting system that is so unintuitive and dumb that it is probably unique to GS across all of human history.

I happens fast, but the damage is so minimal that the optimal play will be to always ignore global warming.

Mvemba's ability still doesn't work. Just had all 7 of my cities converted to Islam while playing as Kongo. Did not get the religious beliefs.

Kongo. To see if they've bothered fixing Mvemba's ability.
