and there a couple UI and hotkey issues that they seem completely oblivious about (wait, unit autocycle, game setup). Some of the latter are especially galling since they were in civ games before.
Sadly a trend in ALL software these days, UI/UX suffers a lot on desktop and on mobile.
Mostly the biggest problem for the game at the moment is their presentation of it. The various youtubers show it off more competently (and highlight what is good about the game) far better than their spokesteam.
Very true!
still, though I probably won't play at launch, I'm excited to be able to play in the coming months and overall I like what I see! Also a player of CivI, CivII, Call to Power, CivIII, CivIV and CivV..
