I'd like to say a few things.
People says civV AI was worst at launch... but did they magically forget everything they do in past game/expansions ?
If they fixed CIVV AI i expect it to be on par at CIV VI launch.
Diplomacy:
I still think CIVBE was the best diplomacy system. The game had flaws and the DLC put the nal in the coffin but was simple, polished and fun.
Why again the absurd warmongering hate if you defend against other civs aggressions?
A moderate warmongering malus is still hard to recover.
Tutorial: this game doesn t explain anything...interface is difficult to understand (spies expecially).
Balance: There are so many flaws that is way behind CIV V
My biggest complaints:
ART: I think civilization revolution complaints made it clear what civ players want
i think they missed the target... and there is not even a graphic improvement.
This manages to be worse than civ V and civ rev at the same time while mixing both.
Music: CIV V was really good, CIV BE was one of the best i ever heard.... why is this so bland?
Suggestion for DLC:
Can we get 2 civs per nation so we can mix&match bonuses...expecially since most nations got some civs you would not expect to represent a nation history. (you could at least go on with the "comic art" giving us Nero for Romans and so on).
