Hardly a strategy

Produce as big a stack of units as possible and capture all your neighbor's cities as quickly as possible. Repeat the process with your other neighbor. Do it again with all remaining neighbors. You won!

Russian lng

Gentlemen, by ignoring the Russian localization in many games, you lose a large audience.

Combats so bad it ruins the entire game.

You just can't win, you can't have fun, you can't just play the game without having to suffer through the terrable combat. I just never have enough troops to actually beat another civ. Doesn't matter if I have double the cities producing nothing but troops, you just lose. It's not worth learning.

Right out of the gate, Tutorial Bugged.

As a player who has never played Civ games I need toe tutorial. It is fundamentally flawed and bugged. A google search yields shoulder shrugs and RTFM comments. Why not just remove the tutorial if it does not work? Expected more from such a storied franchise. Sad.
