My biggest issue with Civ 5 is that there seems to be an optimal strategy that the game is designed for (as can be seen by AI behavior). Previous games IIRC, and Civ4-BTS in particular, is endlessly engaging to me because there was no such thing, and a variety of strategies could be developed...

I saw this on Gog and thought it looked interesting, and now you've convinced me. I'm glad to see indie developers and kickstarter projects getting attention for the last few years, because I'm losing interest in what the big studios are producing. Anyway, thanks for posting, good luck, and...
