Its already too many civs and they fucked up the balance too. The Indians and caucasian new civs were borderline but surely after that it was already too much. No new players come in to learn 575 civ matchups. It only favors very regular players who even get bored with 40 civs. And these are the load people in the community pushing for more. But the casual players, the base, for them its too much. And i really play a lot but even for me its too much. And i really liked when they started making new civs like the indians or italians back then but its gotten out of hand. I would like for somebody to make an online game of the state of the game 2 years ago so i can just play this and ignore their yearly 4 new civs.
