Why the Minimap game can not be enhanced?
It's just the best thing ever to review your victory in all the glorious details...
I just can not understand why there are players that find the end game annoying...

I have just finished playing with Mongolia a Civ IV game.
My 8 Keshik horses conquered York in 1600BC, London resisted.
in 10 AD they conquered Paris, and by 200 AD France was no more.
Ashoka wants to be my Vassal, I could end the game here If I wanted. I could spawn 100 Keshjiks and steamroll everyone.
But I resist. I just finished building my Buddhist Stupa and catholic cathedral in Karakorum and Paris has built Versailles.
I have founded four religions, and England is now a mini-state inside my territory, shrinking... soon London will fall...

It's about 1000 AD, England, Russia, Khmers, Zulu, all declare war on me. Only Ashoka is my Vessel and the Inca are really peaceful, far away on the opposite side of the map.
The Ai thought it could conquer me. Because I had few troops. But I tanked a little and then I had Cavalry... And still my 8 Keshiks horses... deadlier than Cavalries on some targets yet...
The English scouts discovered a Giant Beast in the tundra and their units disappeared in the white.... I dind't see what happened, I just read about it on a Journal.
something like Nessy but it was real... or a giant Sabrewolf... some really scary stuff... also barbs from the North are founding cities in the Tundra and snow and it is a huge chunk of territories...
It's really cold, there are two small deserts in the map and some big islands, but the white realm is huge... and so are the barbs... relentless....

Meanwhile my religion spreads and help out diplomatic events, scientific discoveries, now I the maps become more interactive with each small session advance, must be like every 100 years now.
The first 2000 years just flew with few happenings but each one was huge... back then if you discovered an ancient city with some forgotten treasure you could get an unknown power, tech,
a whale bone building script in Hyeroglyphs to be deciphered... but only if the King studied it It could reveal some magic notion to grow food under the snow...

900 years has passed of constant wars.
And it's over. I am settling the last city up in the last part of the forgotten North that nobody cared to found a city... I just finished the tech tree also...
I won a Domination victory... my 8 Keshik horses just killed the last Barb city in the North...

It's now the Minimap time... I get to know who founded Judaism... Hinduism... Confucianism... who stole the Parthenon from me?
so it was the Inca... I see all the barbs cities founded and revolts and destructions where I didn't see what did happen...

Napoleon tried to sell parrots to Ashoka, Ashoka asked to become Vassal of mine, Napoleon declared war on Russia, Ashoka asked for help...
I busted both napoleon and Russia. Victoria could have survived as a powerful state but she wanted a piece of cake... Sorry Victoria...
You have to go... I would have loved to watch Victoria head tumble down the stairs, with the English people now revolting and joining my
Hyper-zealous religious and peaceful ( I can only defend myself, I chose my policy like it) civilization...

I would have like to keep London as a Vassal kingdom somehow, maybe to just keep Victoria as a unique unit, concubine... or scientist.... poet...
Of course I built the Globe Theater in London and the Tour Eiffel in Paris.... only Victor Hugo has born in Beshbalik this time...

I am stopping the Minimap every two second because of how many things happens every two seconds, entire journals scroll down my eyes
and I can't get enough of it... There is new stuff I never read before....
The Bear in the circus toured the nation and raised happiness in all the cities? Did I ban hunting?
No... I wish I could go that way... after all I was friend with the most religious civ after me... completely vegetarian probably not...
nobody can live up North without... that secret recipe written on a tusk....

Pool: Do you think it's possible to evolve the minimap with multiple events, journals, add videos, animations, add all kind of statistics behind it, like who is building a wonder at the same time... who launched a spy against whom, how did those Olympics game finished? Who won the conquest of the rebel city of... event?
remember all those diplomatic missions in Civ V and Civ VI?
I want them in the background, by default, just happening, but nothing is "forced" I can just pay some gold and skip it, or don't pay and skip it...
No railroads... but all the details... all the juice... this is what we need to do...
we need to ask for improves on what we cared most...
Why it's so boring now...

Well, start from the first thing that went Automized... slashed bc deemed not useful to the gameplay...
Let it flow folks...
 
I think some new events could be nice, but shouldn't be a focus. The rest mostly just no. Those are the things which bring nothing good to the gameplay.
It's not about the gameplay... It's about the vojage... like the guy from Konami said... Hideo Koshima...
except the line "being forced" it's about gameplay a lil bit.
 
I like a lot of this optios but i can chose only one 😂
I wanted to allow multiple, but couldnt retro-edit the pool to allow multi-vote :)
 
I do mis the mini map recap from the older games, and the graphs, where we could see where we really took off, where we hit a wall or speedbump.
Its a small thing but I do miss it as part of the postgame summery.
IT doesn't need to point out every single thing, maybe those that boost the score a significant amount?
 
Let me click on the Minimap to go to that part of the world, again.

Such a painful feature removal.
 
The minimap should should show the continents.
The minimap should should show natural wonders.
The minimap should show artifacts.
