Didnt play since june update, how did it impact the game?

[liamc]

hi so yeah, just before June update i stopped playing and im back because of the recent hype.
before i jump to the new stuff, which is relatively small, how did the June update impact the game?
i remember writers were nerfed, i really like CV so ill be really glad to hear about that. also the state of chopping now, and, well, any new op things currently? tnx

Writer nerf certainly changed CV from being a writer rush.
The new stuff is just that, new toys... the CSare generally overpowered and Gran Canaria is just insanely OP fiat all aggressive.
Maya are a weak grassland start civ that can get a lot of gold. They are a bit of a slow burner but OK when they get going. Good for early game defence though.
Nothing that major has been changed... mainly new toys.

Also continents map script changed. Now much more variety in continent sizes and number

they raised the prices for techs and civics, so is the game slower? like whats an avarage\good victories num of turns wins? roughly the same?

Add 10-20 turns on for SV and CV depending on difficulty

I was reading how the Maya were supposed to be all OP.
I played a few games with them and had horrible starts every time!
It appears the real OP addition is the Colombians.
Why did they give this Civ so much??
