    From what I’ve seen, Civ 7 is trying too hard to be Humankind. I don’t really want try it.

      I mean, the ages thing grew on me. It was way too common in other civs to just snowball early and dominate the rest. Any modern civilization was just bad, because by the time they got online it was over.

        It also speeds up the games a bit. I simply do not have the time as a full adult to sink 10+ hours into a single game. I have actually finished every game of Civ 7 I’ve played so far, which has never happened with any prior Civ installments at my current playtime.

        Yeah, I am enjoying the age mechanic as a new approach to the formula. It’s not without its flaws, but in previous Civs after a certain point I just stopped playing/didn’t finish games when the outcome was clear. I’m doing that less now.

          Honestly the flaws I have the biggest complaints about is the God awful UI.

          Incorrect tool tips, no drag and drop, no ui for city connectivity, no renaming cities, disappearing entities.

          It’s genuinely painful at times.
