Golden Ages are over-rated. I will often settle a GP or bulb rather than start a Golden Age, and I don't do anything with Great Engineers, I save them for corps or rushing a project.

I hate the modern music soundtrack. I usually turn it off and change it to appropriate decade music. Al Bowly, then some Jubilee music, then some Isley Brothers, then some Beatles, Doors, Bee Gees, then some T Rex, Talking Heads, Joy Division... I mean, the modern music soundtrack just can't compete.

You do realize that this is the Unpopular Opinion Thread, don't you?I hate the modern music soundtrack.
My unpopular opinion is that the Hagia Sophia isn't always such a bad build.

Soren Johnson said:The repertoire from modern period is much more varied than that of any other era’s, which meant that finding a consistent style and tone would be difficult. Furthermore, the chaotic structure and casual dissonance of much of modern music would be a difficult match for the mainstream audience of Civ. John Adams is a singular composer from this era; even though he is as well-schooled in minimalism as Glass or Reich, he composes with the heart of a Romantic. His works have a certain movement and thrust to them which makes them a better fit for the less experienced ears of the average player. By using only Adams, I was able to maintain stylistic consistency for the era while also finding a palatable way to stay true to the stylistic innovations of the periods.
I would like add that I will always be grateful to whoever at 2K Games actually approved by request to include so much John Adams. The price was not low, and it was certainly an idiosyncratic choice. I was somewhat expecting them to balk at it, and I’m glad they supported me. (I have similar feelings for them approving the Velvet Underground’s “Rock and Roll” as the background piece for the Rock and Roll wonder; so many other cheaper (or more expensive) paths could have given that moment a very cliched tone.)

Maybe so, but I can think of better things to do with Great People.One golden age is. 5 or more powered by MoM is not.
Hmm... I'll try:
- I always build Stonehenge. Always. Except when someone beat me to it.
- Creative Constructions is Cool!
- I rarely specialize my cities.
- Early-game wars & rushes are not fun.
- Slavery is overrated
- I love trees so I almost never strip my early cities clean of Forests. Except Jungles; they have to go!
As you can see, I'm such a Casual user
