Yeah, Anton did say all three were more of the silly/fantastical variety. However, he did also say that there would be some more traditional/historical modes/content coming up...so yay?!?
Yup... It's been like this for the last 3 years.Well for what it's worth they did state these will be addressed in FUTURE game updates.
At least they are consistent, you gotta respect that

I don't mind the odd fantastical mode but it's surprising they didn't mix them up a bit more with the more historical ones. Perhaps they thought people would be more enticed by the fantastical ones.
To be fair so far I liked the new content just fine, even if the new civs did not excite me. I hope they do improve the apocalypse mode and iron out their flaws. But what i really hope is for them on taking a bite on the old time game issues and release modes focused on global diplomacy mechanics and plagues/diseases.

I'd love them to do something to make the Future Era (and late game in general) feel a bit less of a slog. In my one game of experience so far, I was easily able to win before the Apocalypse Mode really came into it at all, and it didn't really spice up the later stages of the game (though maybe I should have gone all-out fossil fuel consumption to speed it up?)
But a big yes to a plague/disease mode; that has so much potential. It's been much-requested so I think we are extremely likely to see it.

The challenge to a plague mode is I think designing some updates to the AI to handle it. That's, if I recall correctly, the main reason the scenario is multiplayer.

They should just move the barbarians out a bit further so players have more ability to react. No one needs players to be overly shielded from barbarians, except to the extent it makes for unenjoyable turn 1/turn 2 elimination gameplay. And everything in that scenario can make you learn as is anyway. Players should be eliminated by each other more than non-player barbarians.

That's actually a very good idea!
I am unconviced this is neccesary. Does turn one elimination happen often?. Seeing the video i would say that in the stream they just made a bad movement they ould easily have prevented just by payin attention.
Also RD is aimed to a fast gameplay, having invulnerability turns looks like not really apropiate.
Imagine if you had a 1 minute no goal allowed in football (or socker), yes goals in the first minute are infrequent and only happen due to careless playing and distractions, but is a part of the game. Is what is effectively removing a turn from the game worth it?

It's not invulnerability we are asking for -- it's more player interaction with other players that will result if the barbarians are placed just a bit further out. The scenario is multiplayer-only Battle Royale after all. Why not make the most of it?

Video is available to subscribers on YouTube. (May have been there, but it alerted me today, so I figured I would mention it).
