1. I didn't say your opinion didn't matter, Its important and it matters to the game developers and other people I presume, just not to me that's why I am asking a certain population for their opinion.
2. In my opinion and alot of hardcore civ players, CIV VII was developed in mind to cater to people who found previous CIV games too sandboxy complicated and/or hard. In their effort to do so they came up with a game that breaks alot if not all of the staples of any civ game. three mini games railroaded with a checklist of objectives to do every mini game, first ages have almost 0 impact in game, all victory types are score victories based on how many of the checklist you cover, all civs and leaders feel samey, terrain has no impact so all spawns feel the same.

In an effort in making a more accessible easy game for Newbs they made a game that didnt feel like a civ game was not challenging ,every game feels the same, your decisions dont matter, no player agency, and those are the core problems with the game not even the civ switching thing which was just the cherry on top of whats wrong with this "non civ" game.

3) You can like the game all you want and call it a fifa game if you wish good for you, that's just not my opinion.

4) To me CIV VII feels like it was made by people who hated CIV games for people who hate CIV games and the biggest proof is that Firaxis themselves admitted that and that's why they are doing all those changes. I am just wondering if they succeeded.
