They fixed up diplomacy a bit and made hybrid affinity styles really good. Although I will say it's definitely lacking in some ways and still has it's problems. Another expansion and it could be as good as civ 5, but probably not as good as alpha centauri which is it's true predecessor. They just need to make the factions more unique, make it so the city state things actually have a purpose, and revamp the unit upgrade system to smooth progession out, maybe add a few units and biomes. Well I've played every civ game since civ 2, not gonna miss this one even if the reviews are awful. I also liked Beyond Earth. Yes the game has it problems for sure, but as a whole I still think it is a good game after the expansion. The sound of the aliens rippers is so cute  | ||

Why?... Well, the fact many people don't know about her is one more reason to have her as a leader (at least you learn something playing the game..?) I think it's more interesting to have Medicis than Napoleon or Louis XIV for the 6th time. Maybe the rational is also that France was a very interesting nation in the XVIth century, and that having a queen as a leader (and a fairly evil one with that) is cooler than having François 1er or Henry IV. | ||

At that price, there wasnt much over Civ5 to justify the price | ||

France has never been very Queen-friendly, though, and thus has no memorable queens... (by memorable I mean the likes of Queen Victoria or Elizabeth I) | ||

But yeah, I think sometimes they're going for difference from other civ games instead of being true to the nature of the Civ. Civ bonuses are ok + Show Spoiler + except England, which is meh, and US, which is weird. look I'll do the US: Immigration: Trade routes to other civs provide cities with growth and culture. Bam! I've actually said something important about the character of America, which would give it a unique playstyle... I'd also personally get rid of bonuses that are heavily dependent on starting terrain, as much as I love the flavor they provide. Norway is at least justifiable (though I think it could be reworded to be useful on Pangea), but Brazil's and Japan's seem limiting. | ||

When I started playing Civ 2, the series was about taking historically powerful civs that have made their mark in history and seeing what you could do with them. Today, the devs and many of the hardcore fans over at civfanatics prioritize being different from previous civ games. There's increasing demand to throw more obscure civs and obscure leaders into the mix. | ||

I only start fighting earlier than the medieval era if the UU is powerful enough. I'm not fond of airplane UUs either. So I do end up playing civs that have strong medieval to industrial era UUs. Airplane UUs tend to suck, but my warmonger games do tend to draw out into the modern era (barring some ridiculous Ghengis conquest that just overruns everybody), so planes in general are pretty great  | ||

Some games are peaceful and I don't really need bash skulls in and can go full science. But there are... sometimes these retarded AIs that think I am an easy target since I haven't upgraded my Crossbowmen into gatling guns before them. And they invade. And I spend my money since I focused on getting a booming economy and science up. And I push them back. And I invade THEM. and I raze every fucking city to the ground. I pillage their lands and I exterminate the general populace. And the other AIs denounce me and I have the warmonger debuff. Then... THEN Then I decide the world needs to burn. I do not stop. Not once. Not ever. Not for anyone. The space ship parts turn into nuclear missiles, and UN votes can go fuck themselves. I have turned into what they wanted to turn me in to. DOn'T yoU sEE?
