(it did however declare war numerous times for no apparent reason) Zooming out on the main map is. The AI appeared to be reasonably aggressive but also smart enough to pull out before it exhausted itself too much in an offensive war that would not really benefit it much. In my several attempts at the game (2 times in prince and 1 time in hardest difficulty) - the AI seemed appropraite - with the hardest AI still cheating in terms of resources and buildtime. Visually however - it downgrades cities to what feels and looks more like little towns.

Districts and enviromental decisions are an awesome development decision and make each city much more unique and meaningful than ever before in a Civilization game. I have also not found a way to manually stop autoturn - but remain forced to wait untill the game decides that i can take action again. (like delete unit) When you turn on 'autoturn' - the game may present you with a choice to make - only it does not allow you to make the choice anymore, because it already switched to a new turn of players - hence forcing you to close the menu and wait for your turn again. Many functions can be done via keyboard commands - but do not show up as options on screen. The UI in its current state is useless though. The cartoon designs are nice (unless you really dislike bobble heads). as the whole interface as in playing field (map) of civilization never looked realistic but more like a board game anyway. The look is less 'realistic' and more 'cartoonish' - reasonably a good choice. I would describe the visuals as a similar evolution as 'The Sims 4 did to The Sims 3'. Cities, Districts, science and social science - there is a lot more to take into account. However - it departs quite a lot from earlier concepts in my opinion.

From my first hours with this game it does feel like it gained a whole lot of complexity and decision making compared to the rather dumbed From my first hours with this game it does feel like it gained a whole lot of complexity and decision making compared to the rather dumbed down Civ V.
