One, you do need to build improvements, which you don't mention outside of strategic resources. Settling a city with eventual access to three mines and four lumber mills is going to generate more production than a city with one or strategic resources. Two, make sure you are using policy cards...

One for each type. Anshan - Big fan of artifacts and this just makes them better. Brussels - I have an inordinate love for wonders. Always fun to build. Lahore - Always fun to be able to just buy units with faith, especially since domination games don't usually have a use for faith otherwise...

There is nothing complicated about these units. Trucks give you extra movement, medics provide extra healing, Engineers build military infrastructure. Admittedly, Engineers are kind of useless outside of building railroads but there is nothing complicated about them and they do provide very...

Depends on the set up of your districts and where you place your spies. Spies guard the district they are assigned to and any district on a tile next to that district. So, putting a spy on your spaceport and a district connected to the spaceport will provide extra defense, if I remember correctly.

Very cool. Looks like a character/roleplay focused DLC. Only thing I didn't like in the trailer is the red for the title banner on the event popups. I feel like making it slightly darker and maybe a little more purplish would make it fit with the game's overall aesthetic better. Loved the...

All, if I remember correctly. It should specify in the description if it only effects the city where the wonder is.

Because there aren't a lot of companies that would want to invest the resources that it would take to compete with Civ. Civ is complicated game with a lot of depth (though it doesn't always feel like that) and you can't really "bootstrap" your way into success in the video games industry against...

Its also one of the biggest complaints with Millennia so I doubt we will see another game try it anytime soon. Here is an incredibly hot take - games either need to be single player or multiplayer. Trying to appeal to both types of players will lead to lesser experience for both types of players.

Here is a review from Aftermath, calls it the worst of the recent Civ competitors.

Also, if any one is interested, PotatoMcWhiskey did a complete playthrough of the game and very enthusiastic about it.

Here is one from Rock Paper Shotgun and a particularly brutal line from the review.

Sorry, I'm not taking about the blank nations and so on but the aesthetic and generally feel of the game. It has a very "default late 90s/early 2000s game" template kind of feel to it. Like, Old World's aesthetic has a very, well, old world feel to it while, again, Millennia's doesn't have...

I don't think I've ever seen a more brutal line in a review than this. . . But, I'm not surprised Millennia is getting bad reviews. It always seemed like the devs started with "Let's make a Civ competitor" and then never made it much farther than that. Like, from what I've seen of Ages...

To unlock the further abilities of a society, you have to have a spare governor title to use.

Probably science, since it's hard to get than the other two but I'd say you can never go wrong with more gold.
