Not yet, anyways.

The ambition is there, and many of the ideas are very refreshing. But right now, the middle game is empty - once the map is relatively full and you are waiting on techs and civics to allow you to claim/convert territory to cities, there's nothing much to do. And when you do get past that stage, the late game is quite unbalanced - pollution ends the game irrevocably if any factories are built, and warfare doesn't feel significantly different from the early game.

I'll keep an eye on the development patches, and hope to reinstall in time. Until then, I can't recommend spending time or money on the game.
