I like the agenda system but have a few issues with it.
Firstly, there seem to be a lot of inconsistencies with the fixed agendas and who the civs hate. For example:
Qin likes wonders and hates civs who compete for wonders
Pedro likes GPs and hates civs who compete for GPs
These are strong agendas as they help Qin and Pedro go for a cultural victory.
On the other hand we have:
Harald likes a strong navy and hates civs with a weak navy
Gandhi likes peace and hates warmongers
Now these may work well from a role playing point of view but what often actually happens is this:
Civs with a weak navy, often don't have many cities by the coast so Harald ends up in land wars and does badly.
Gandhi has bad relations with strong military powers who then take him out.
Another one that sticks out (although I don't have the DLC) is Jadwiga's. She likes civs with high faith but shouldn't she hate them as they would be her competitors when going for a religious victory?
The second thing I'd like to see some love for is the secondary agenda system. I like the idea but find it quite limited as certain agendas like civilised or airpower only apply to one part of the game.
I think it would better if the secondary agendas changed throughout the game. So say one secondary agenda at the start, a new one when each civ enters mediaeval, another at industrial and a final one at atomic.
