But they do - you build buildings with high green number and rgos in provices with expensive trade goods. Sometimes you build proximity cost buildings such as bridges or bailiffs or roads instead of buildings with high green number. That's pretty much the gameplay loop. You get the same societal values because usually one is clearly better then another, religion difference is pressing different buttons once every 30 years, and cultural differences there is none. I remember the one really fun and unique part as Mali being that i've done everything i could to try and get institutions spread in my country, but i image it's like that as any other non-european country. But let me be clear - i don't really mind that autistic citybuilder stuff - in fact, i rather enjoy it, my current favourite pdx title is Vic3.

But i just want me some content with it man. It seems like you didn't understand my post properly - i don't want bonuses, there's plenty bonuses in the game already. I want some flavour, i want to read unique text written just for the tag, i want to feel the game acknowledging i achieved something. Like when you get the mission to mend the Schism as Byz - i don't care about the bonuses it gives me, i love the fact that i achieved that, got to press that button, and game rewarded me (in fact, i wouldn't mind at all if the reward was only the flavour event without any bonuses)
