"Just one more turn." Oh, you thought you were gonna play for 15 minutes? Nope, you're playing for 15 hours.
Man this game is amazing. There's a lot of improvements i like in Civ VI but V is just so much... cleaner? smoother? The aesthetics and gameplay is just better. The tone and graphics being more serious. Simpler game mechanics but lots of depth to them. Better pacing on standard speed. Much better policy system and worker system. If you want to experience the pinnacle of civilization games, fire up Civ V.

EXTREMELY PISSED! I used to love playing this game! Now I can NOT PLAY IT ANYMORE because of this literal bullcrap.

Just played this again on my mac, and my computer sends me a request saying the game wants to record all of my keystrokes. So, that matches what people are saying about the eula. Too bad Windows doesn't make it easier to block crappy behavior from software companies like that.
