having a lot of fun with civ 7, there are a lot of fantastic mechanics and changes that were annoying in 6 but gone in 7 (no builders to micro manage, no huge decisions about plopping down a campus in the "wrong" spot and having anxiety that crippled you in 6 because you felt you made a non-optimal choice)

i love army/navy commanders, you can pack in your combat units into this commander and move as one towards the front and then unpack and attack and the commander also is the one gaining xp and leveling up so no longer do you have to babysit a certain high-level unit, and the commander cannot "die" if he gets defeated in combat he goes away for x turns and then comes back)

i love not having a certain resource (like iron or horses in 6) do not prevent you from constructing a certain unit that would in older games require that resource, instead it makes it so that having these resources buff a unit type, 1 iron gives +1 to combat strength (stacks!) for infantry in antiquity and horses give +1 to combat strength for cavalry

choices are all good and thats a good sign of a great design, you want everything when you get a choice and most things are viable

you dont really notice what civ the other leaders are, you just concentrate on having to face Augustus or Machiavelli or Xerxes or Hatshepsut throughout the ages

there are UI issues for sure, there are certain information that i would love to have and i hope firaxis will soon get the UI ship shape
