Haven't played it yet but can say with certainty that I already knew skarlorn was among the chosen few aware of its release.

Shalom.

Seems good, better than civ 5 at launch anyway. I don't understand a lot of the mechanics like accommodations yet. Glad to see global happiness is out. Art style is awful and I find the game hard to look at, like it hurts my eyes trying to decide which tiles are resource tiles (game defaults to having the obnoxious resource icons on, so I think the devs are aware of how cluttered their "pretty" map is). Annoying cutscenes intermixed into the gameplay with no toggle off. Turn processing time is really high right from the get-go, feels like a multiplayer Civ 5 in how fucking long it takes. There is something to the core gameplay though, it's WAY better and more complete feeling than I am accustomed to nowadays in my pirated AAA games.

I haven't made it past 1000ad yet tho. The tech tree looks pretty stunted is my major concern - nukes are very close to the end of the line.

hoping it turns out to be better than what you're saying here. i was on the fence for about 30 seconds, watched 10 seconds of a trailer and the cutscene cinematic made me Cum for buy

It's better than what you should be expecting. All my gripes are UI so far

I like it so far but I've been too busy to play it a lot. It seems that they decided to make it more intricate rather than less. That's a good call IMO. I also like the "boost" for techs/civics. It allows your empire to be more customized by its environment, which adds a feeling of authenticity to the game.

It's reasonable advice but this game actually seems fleshed out, has trade routes + religion + the various systems that were only added in expansions in the past. Worth a pirate.

Hmmm... yeah I have been watching the countdown, they have even been putting older versions on sale leading up to this. I've been thinking about buying it, though maybe on sale, but then I have enough games atm that I picked up over the summer sales. They will probably have some nice expansions for this too, as they usually do.

I am craving something that is new but artsy fartsy though. Been watching the design & illustration section the past couple months, and there are like 17 pages of sales there right now. I'm thinking about picking up RPG MV, since I still have something left in the wallet after summer sales. Older versions are as low as 90% atm, though the latest is 50% and the only one with android export. Huummmmmm... decisions decisions... There are a few things on sale at steam atm, looking not so bad.
