Honestly the whole “change civ every age” change didn’t feel that bad. However to me, every time they release a new civ game it feels like it is lacking civs. This time it was really bad with Hawaii being there on release and countries like the UK and the Ottomans only coming later in a a DLC. I might pick it up once I feel like I can play the countries I want to play.

*Of course I do understand they want to represent every region of the world, but it is just strange not to have some of the countries there that directed the world history for centuries.
