[@abudgie6909]

Das Institut yeah, I think the biggest issue is how predictable the plot of every match is. In the last third of a game I already know I’m going to win, and no-one can compete. There’s no intense political tension or close wars or desperate famines or whatever, in the end it just devolves to how quickly I can destroy the other factions. War fare is similar as even tiny battles are always incredibly one-sided. I’m not saying the game is easy, it’s just predictable. I “win” or “lose” far before the match actually ends.
