Overall love the world building and RPG elements, I also love the story telling. I love many systems like the morality decisions even if they lack some followup. The gameplay overall is good, I come from a background of games like Space Empires 3, Stellaris, Masters of Orion and Endless Legend. And this overall is a well made game. It does have some issues however that almost left me at 3 stars but I am in a good mood. Major issue #1 is the lack of hotseat multiplayer. It's simple to implement, I have ZERO interest in online play, this kind of game is meant for friends/family on a laid back evening session around the big monitor. Issue #2 is too many DLC to get what use to be basic features, look if necessary raise the price of base games a bit, include all the features, and stop trying to get us to buy DLC to make them playable. Issue #3 AI sucks, which is part of why I would rather play hotseat with friends and family. AI lacks any well, intelligence. It can be difficult through artificial difficulty stat boosts and such, but it is never intelligent. Other than those issues, fun game.
