Heartily recommend. Haters gonna hate, but this release is a breath of fresh air, and I have total confidence Firaxis will fix many of the issues that people complain about. But fundamentally, the game has gained even more replay-ability, fixed the mid-game doldrums, and looks gorgeous.

rlly fun and exersizing

Coming from the CIV universe, I found this game hard to learn because I had to unlearn a lot. But after the time was put in, I found it is deeply replayable, and, dare I say, far more entertaining and challenging late game than CIV, where just a few techs mean you dominate everyone. In reality, they are two very different games, but should appeal to the same kind of player who wants to build, tweak, and snowball.

Play the sidequests, do the gigs. Don't rush through the game and you'll end up crafting a character with very cool abilities.

Great update. Better than V.
