It has some of the most original features in the series that we have never seen before along with nine more nations we have never seen before along original wonders units buildings natural wonders.... And I applause that they tried new things in the right direction, that of immersion.
   
   Also I can't criticize the expansion for not fixing something that was all along in the series, bad AI. The AI was ALWAYS bad in civilization as in most strategy games, cause a strategy AI needs a computer you don't have. Actually I find the AI of this game a little better than that of V, cause it declares wars to me sometimes, something that in V it was almost impossible. Although it does not know what to do with all that army, but that was happening in V too(and cause cities where overpowered in V you decimate enemy armies in defence).
   
   *Civilization now is a game with hexes and many units, when Chess is with squares and some units. To have a computer to win a good chess player you need military staff with academic softwares. So think about it. Of course with time limit things are different but that is also true with civilization, try limited time, and then you will see a much more challenging AI.… Expand

I still think Civ VI has the best foundation (even better than V), and I've always enjoyed the graphical direction that VI took. The AI is still the weak spot, and I really hope they address the AI front and center with the almost definite second xpac, in keeping with previous release schedules.
   
   The governors seem great so far and you can go deep or wide with them, setting up low-level governors across your empire, or pumping up a couple to keep a rebellious city reined in, or absolutely maximize that city's focus.
   
   The late game is still a bit slow, but it always has been in every Civ. I'm not sure how to remedy this.… Expand

   If you were hoping this expansion was gonna save Civ 6, prepare for disappointment.

   The fundamental problem of 1UPT remains, so the AI still cannot properly fight. Additionally all the calculations means that late game turns really lag.
   
   There are still a whole lot of QoL issues with the UI, like Wonder videos still not showing what the effects of the wonder are, Policy Edicts which are outdated and need to be replaced showing you what was being lost, or how any changes will actually impact your output.
   
   I quit and uninstalled about 8 hours into my first game, when I realised I was just playing the same old Civ 6 again, monotonous late-game micromanagement, long turn times, and a set of AI enemies that were outpaced 1000 years ago (normal difficulty).
   
   Still we have the childish, long unit combat animations, and now silly Governor heads, like something out of a mobile game.
   
   I wish we would just be given a Civ 4 with Hexes and modern UI, graphics and improved performance.… Expand

   The loyalty system sucks, completely obliterates many fun aspects of the original Civ 6 and adds frustrating elements which punish the playerThe loyalty system sucks, completely obliterates many fun aspects of the original Civ 6 and adds frustrating elements which punish the player 100 times more, and the AI does not seem to be effected by the same changes. You could place down a city and have it rebel in several turns without you ever having the opportunity to give the citizens what they want, then have it in a constant state of revolt/capture/revolt until you just give up and raze it in disgust.
   
   Lets talk about settling on a new continent? Nope~ better bring an army and keep recapturing that city. In a nutshell, this is borderline broken and at best just annoying content that adds more frustration to the 'average' civ player, this is purely for the elitist neckbeard players who take the game so incredibly serious and micromanage everything down to each and ever square, everyone else be damned, this DLC is basically that - not for casual civ players period.
   
   Loyalty is best explained as removing the players ability to build cities remotely near other cities period, further reducing the ability to have sprawling multi-Continent spanning civilizations otherwise the punishments for the player are so severe, it wastes the players time considerably. But what if you start close to multiple rival civilizations? Then expect to run into loyalty based problems constantly, and for the most part - the player is always on the losing end of those battles.
   
   Domination mode suffers too, no more sending over a large army to capture an enemy civilization, because it'll just loyalty flip within 5 turns -constantly- forcing you into pretty much razing city after city unless you want to micromanage loyalty so carefully as you can find an opening so you could actually keep a city for yourself and start a foothold.
   
   I could go on and on, just read the more critical responses and you'll see why the harsh comments, it's going to boil down to one factor, how much micro-managing are you willing to put up with, how much frustration are you willing to put up with, this expansion makes VI somehow makes the game worse - please, do yourself a favor and just pick up Civilization V and the expansions, those are so much better.… Expand
