Great Vid! Regarding repetitive strain injury, I’m not trying taking away from your joke on it, but having actually had it this might be interesting to anyone who was wondering about it; In second year of music college I got RSI and ended up with a splint and a compression bandage for a few weeks, my tendons felt like they were going to snap 24/7, I could barely hold my phone in the effected hand and my whole arm felt shivery like how your body feels when you have the flu but much worse. a bit of pain from a lot of clicking isn’t RSI, but if you get a cold feeling in your wrist, stop whatever intensive activity you are doing because that is the first signs of it, and if you are stupid like I was, you could risk causing permanent damage. That said, as someone who probably played games for too long on occasion, doing so isn’t even getting into the same order of magnitude of hand movement that would be an issue, and if it is causing RSI, a dietary or other health issue is probably contributing to the problem more than the amount of mouse clicking you are doing.

Impossible. Some of the tech boosts are nigh impossible to avoid, particularly on Deity.

It would also make you unable to place various improvements (mines, quarries, some Pastures) for a long time because of the tech boost having one gives you.

This should be turned into a game mode. Like; the first 50 turns something random happens to every civ. Mostly good; but sometimes not. Thatd be awesome.

you should've made this game with all game modes. The extra era score would've secured you golden ages, Hercules would help you build districts etc. That would be super cool since in a regular game using all game modes can be overwhelming

I could be mistaken...but I believe there is an option to turn barbarians off. :P
