Boring. Can't make myself do another playthrough and I've only done one.

Classic

AI is completely broken and so much worse than CIV 5. AI interactions are completely random. They get pissed off or happy for no reason, complement me on my fleet when I've not a build a ship the entire game, denounce me after I just liberated their city and so on...

Also go denounced by myself while playing Cleopatra.

UI is bad. Weird, slow auto-unit cycling will make you do many accidental moves. In general, it feels like you have to micro manage units more than CIV 5. The amount of clicking required is just off the charts compared to CIV 5. Especially, spying and trading. You would've thought that devs would make those little quality of life improvement in this iteration, but no.

General art style of the game is childish/cartoonish. Leaders heads are ridiculously over-sized, their reactions are immature and overstated, as if the game is trying to appeal to 7-year olds.

Rest of the game is pretty solid, but immersion is broken by the reasons stated above.

CIV fans: still must have. Others: wait till AI is fixed.
