It's a low fantasy city builder in the vein of Caeser or Pharaoh series. Oh and for whatever reason, the creator decided to over reach and bolt on a total war component so you can micro like an RTS while taking over the world. City builder is pretty much done and the latter has the foundations in but still unbalanced.
Demo is free-forever and is only a few versions behind the latest stable, good to try so you know whether you will like to core gameplay.
Fantasy means many races with their strengths and weaknesses like Vegetarian pigmen, tall dwarves twice the size of humans, cannibal elves lizards and bugmen. Oh so you want to min-max with all these races don't you? Well, too bad they are all Racists as fuck and prone to murder each other without careful planning. Good thing there's a very robust slavery system for you to prosecute and exploit the undesirables yes?'

The only way to top it is with better ai. Chatbots are great at role playing nowadays so them playing other civ leaders and you being able to talk diplomacy with them and play with/against them is the next step.
It sucks how the series went to shit from there. The list of things that later games dropped or fucked up while adding nothing is staggering.
- City view
- Palace construction
- Recap movie at the end
- No hex grid cancer
- No city states cancer
- No social policies, trade routes, religion cancer
- Can stack units on tiles without them obstructing each other, imagine that
- Best game pacing. Can actually fight entire wars within an era without the opponent advancing into next era before you've made 5 units
- Wars with hundreds of units instead of 5
- Dozens of cities instead of just 4
- No punishment for expansion and wide play
- Have large ancient era empires. No half of the map being empty no mans land for the entirety of the game BS
- Actually fight wars for resources
- Can seize and connect resources outside of your border with colonies
- Can build bases and fortresses outside of your borders
- Can actually settle islands and it's rewarding
- Can burn and raze cities instantly. No unrealistic waiting 30 turns while suffering unhappiness BS
- Can vassalize civs
- Can queue and automate constructions
- Can build roads and rails everywhere and be rewarded for it, not punished
- Fast unit movement within your empire, instant movement with rails
- Transport units instantly between airports anywhere on the map
- No lag. Fast UI. Instant zoom, scroll. No movement inertia. Hotkeys for all actions. Fast turns. No forced waits. Can disable all animations.
- Clean UI. Can see relations of all civs. Clear political borders at all zoom levels

I hate farms with every fiber of my being. I'm fucking retarded at getting enough food eco rolled out. This is why I stick to fucking diplofish.
How do I get better at farms? I place them close to the TC or a mill, I do the little pattern to make the first 4 farms close as possible to the mill.

String comment = 'I want to play a more complicated strategy vidya but I really don't know which games I'll go for. I like slower paced games (I have tried Rusted Warfare and AoE2 so Im sure RTSes arent my thing).
But when it comes to Total War, Paradox, or anything amongst them (and Civ) I've only ever played tactical RPGs (favorite being FFTAdvance). I've played Kingdoms and Castles (citybuilder) so I know I care more for slower small scale things as I won my first ever match in Civ5 a while back and I found it kinda boring to just move troops and wait for everything to happen when I had abundant resources that I wasn't even sure how to utilize. Things like TW: 3Kingdoms interested me purely for the setting but I don't want to over-invest time into just another phase of a game I'll play without enjoying it.
actual question: which game(s) have the best singleplayer and long term playability with a GOOD tutorial. things that dont assume that this isn't your first time.';

I originally pretty unsure about the idea of the tech tree being split into chunks without any real set path other than having to research the next age to access its techs, since that seems a little too simple for what I'd want out of a video game 4x, but I ended up liking it. The technologies do a variety of interesting things even outright spawning units, so I think there'll be a lot of room for interesting paths you can take your civ.
Only played through it once so far and took the raiders, which allowed me to pump out endless units with super high movement since you only need more warfare XP to get more, and you really just need to find things to fight. Was fun running around pillaging everything and deleting any straggling units, but with war fatigue and the chaos system in the game this might be another case where going for war isn't really worth it. If those chaos events just spawn weak units for you to farm though that would end up being a positive, so who can say.';

Have to give it to civ VI sorry doomstack-tards. Doomstacks are annoying and lack strategy. It does need to be quicker though, wars take forever in V and VI.
>Best economic/empire management
Civ colonization by far and it's no contest. It's more strategic and free and power balances can change very quickly. Districts are a cool idea but are static making civ vi easily the most boring game.
>Best diplomacy
Civ IV
VI diplomacy is a joke. V was kind of cool with city state votes but still restrictive.
>Best religion mechanics
I guess VI but I think this could be done a lot better in all games. I'd make it a lot like BNW ideologies for the mid-game.
>Best early game
CIV VI with barbarian clans game mode
>Best mid game
I guess Civ IV just because things happened more.
>Best late game
Easily Civ V with BNW. The shifting alliances with ideologies were the only thing that made any civ late game even playable.
>Best altogether
Civ IV colonization baby. I'll stomach the doomstacks for that sweet pop management and resource manufacturing and trading.';

String comment = 'I'm a developer of a hardcode multiplayer turn based strategy game. I'm a big fan of Xcom and Xenonauts but was always disappointed how there's no game in the genre that does multiplayer well, so I made my own. Currently 2 years in development and probably a few more years to go.
The game features:
-Full modding support(all units and abilities are editable)
-Map editor
-AI without pre-defined behaviours that adapts to abilities and seamlessly uses modded content
-Deterministic combat with no RNG, based on supression and risk-reward core with abilities exposing units to be supressed
While the focus of the game is first and foremost multiplayer(and there is working netcode), the game itself is a bit unstable right now so currently this is a singleplayer only playtest in order to test for stability, crashes, bugs and the AI itself.
You can report any crashes by sending log files from Logs and ServerLogs(singplayer games are hosted on a local server).
Send crashes and bugs into the discord: https://discord.gg/vxA5G4MugE
or if you don't like or dont have discord you can alternatively send them into this bug report form: https://forms.gle/iCLibbXusEgk4ceT7
After playing the game I'd appreciate any feedback negative or positive in the discord above
