Yeah, so I don't normally do reviews but this one needs it.

So, to start, its a great Civ beyond earth feeling game with a couple more factions. Gameplay is pretty straight forward. No complaints there, tech growth results in you making units how you want with the upgrades you discover otherwise you wont have units using them. So it gives you some work on that end.

The bad.
was playing on Easy, island map had things going well for me trying to do more of a scientific victory and I had an ally on my team. Rest of the AI we solo. Ya know, give myself the edge and support as I learn the nuances of this game.
About a 100 turns into the game and suddenly for no reason an AI declares war. Whatever I have some units prepped just in case. They swamped me with units far stronger than mine. Then about 5 turns later another AI declares war. Then 2 turns later another. In 10 turns all AI were at war with me for no reason and I was crushed. I was just on my own island minding my scientific business. No warning, no cause, total all AI declare war with troops well beyond mine.
No diplomacy screen to even talk to them about calling a cease fire, or at least none that I could find. And my ally was useless in any kind of support.

So the reviews regarding cheating or over powered AI who are just warmongers, even the corpo faction, are true and really wish there was a patch or mod to tone that down. A mod workshop would make this game better.

So, even with this so called patch some mentioned the Devs did, it seems it didn't fix it. I would say if you are a glutton for never being able to win, not without at least 5 AI factions as team mates, this is the game for you.
