Really great game if you like this kind of stuff
Really great game if you like this kind of stuff. Compares to the best. Pushes all my buttons. Plus I am 72 so I really love the name. I live in it. But really, buy it because you will love it.

The bastard child of the Civ and CK dynasties
The bastard child of the Civ and CK dynasties. Due to its illegitimate birth, it was raised outside of the Steam court and only recently admitted into the halls of power. Despite some rough edges, it has successfully integrated the greatest strengths of its parental lineages, and with the brilliantly simple orders system it brings a youthful vigour into the echoing halls of strategy gaming. A worthy heir, perhaps?

This review is written for people who like Paradox games and Civ-alikes, rather than more general 4X games
This review is written for people who like Paradox games and Civ-alikes, rather than more general 4X games. If you like those two things, this is a good mixture of the two things, however there is nothing revolutionary here. This is what in tabletop rpg's we would call a "Heartbreaker" type game. It's someone looking at their inspirations and saying "I can't make something NEW out of this, but I think I can remix it to be BETTER." It largely succeeds at that, but lacks the charm of Civilization, and lacks the RNG and event emphasis of CK2 or Stellaris. Decisions are fed to you in tiny microdoses and if that is your thing, this game will provide a nice experience slightly different from the above mentioned games. If you're looking for a ruler simulator, look elsewhere. If you're looking to finish a game in a single sit down, look elsewhere. If you have little experience with 4x games outside of Civilization, I think this game will come off extremely interesting and a little fresher. like a slightly more advanced version of it. So if you want Civilization with more subsystems, this is your game. [Qualifiers: 2k hours in Civ6, Civ5, around 2k hours in Stellaris and CK2)
