no other strategy map game made for autists compares to this one. i grew up playing this with my father and brings back great memories. its unfortunate that civ 6 wasnt able to get anywhere even close to the same level as this masterpiece. not to mention civ 7 also being a complete dumpster fire of a game. i love coming back to this game every once in a while for nostalgia and use funny and obnoxious mods to enhance and change the experience. the replay value this game has to offer is astounding, making every new play though feel fresh and unpredictable depending on your settings. this is truly one of the only games i can confidently give a 10/10 review for.
