i am Epic gaming kid

[@johnschwartz1641]

Been playing for a couple days. There are so many features that I don't care about. World Congress? Worthless. All it does is interrupt the flow, so that I can choose something that the AI disagrees with. Wooo! SO MUCH FUN! I love clicking buttons that wind up not mattering at ALL! I can't even just ignore it. I have to choose something, just so the AI can choose something else. I have the option of pouring my Diplo points to make my choice matter, but I can't afford to do that every Congress, and I need to save that for the next thing. Let players abstain from the world congress. If my vote is irrelevant, I shouldn't be pulled out of the flow of the game. Next problem: I'm minding my business playing as Sweden, being nice to everybody. It turns out Mansa Musa hates somebody I'm friends with. Mali takes advantage of my open borders agreement to launch a surprise war against me. So far, not that big of a problem. I would prefer some sort of warning from Mali, maybe just Mansa denouncing me for being friends with whomever, but that's not too big of a deal. I beat Mansa's butt, roll him back to where I am able to capture one of his cities, and he calls a global emergency to organize against me. So as the victim of a surprise attack, I am not allowed to capture territory from my aggressor? [Serious Question] How do I call a global emergency? Is that an option anywhere? So I spend my diplo points to defeat that. Robert the Bruce, my so-called "friend" voted AGAINST me. Because I'm the bad guy for winning a war? WTF? So it seems like my options are, get attacked and do nothing about it, or be a global pariah? The diplomacy is absolute trash. Nobody launching a surprise war against me should be able to persuade my friend that I'm the bad guy. I end the war, capture the city, and within a few turns it's going into rebellion. Because of course that's how the game works. Now I know to only raze cities. Never show mercy. Different game, playing as Kupe, I'm going for a space race win. Except some damn spy just set me back twenty turns by sabotaging my spaceport. Now it takes several turns to rebuild, and all work on my Mars mission is lost. Is that fun for anyone? Do people genuinely enjoy clicking "Next Turn" for a while just because you weren't microing your damn spies properly? I know espionage has been around for a while, but with the longer space race there's that much more chance to drag out the already boring end game. Spies aren't fleshed out enough to be fun. It's just more clicking on boxes every once in a while and if you screw up and don't keep track you can get absolutely shafted. In the old days (Civ 2 Multiplayer Gold), you were allowed to win wars, and you didn't have to deal with layer upon layer of poorly developed gameplay features. We had global warming then, we had spies, and there was a decent model for your diplomatic reputation. Maybe I just need to play more and get better, but my first several hours with this have been frustrating. I don't enjoy the espionage system, I would greatly prefer defending against spies with constabularies and police stations instead of counterspies that have to be on specific districts. I hate how diplomacy works, punishing players for counterattacking against a surprise attack. It's bizarre and not nearly as fun as it could be. I realize from my tone it sounds like I'm a hater, but I'm not. I've played about ten hours since getting home Friday night. I love Civ. And the new expansion has some really cool stuff. I just hate how spies and diplomacy work. And sadly, diplomacy was a big part of this expansion.

Of all the things to complain about, production queueing must be the most worthless one. At least compared to real issues like how garbage the interface design was, you literally couldn't select a city with a garrisoned unit in it without zooming all the way in.

Maori kind of seem overpowered. Fishing, settle with a worker etc. is too good early

[@josgretf2800]

They are balanced by a lot of ways. Every map generates land for each civ to expand, except the Maori. In a 6 player game, there will be room for 5, making loyalty a big issue for them. They will often have to forward settle other civs, making them justified targets of war. Being coastal also puts you at risk of flooding and hurricanes. They can't remove resources like stone and wheat, and they can't earn great writers, making culture victories way harder.
