The game isn't "bad" but the stupid "global warming" crap makes the end game annoying. I can't remember the last time I went past 1950. It's absurdist, takes hysterical claims to an extreme... Sea Levels don't rise that fast, no matter how much warming there is, so you waste time and resources preventing stupid "Look we're WOKE" mechanics. Dumb, dumb dumb. The AI is still stupid, flawed and broken. What's that, you built a city withing 15 tiles of theirs, they yell at you, they then build a city RIGHT NEXT TO YOURS and when you say something it's "Oh, I didn't see you there.." They start a war with you, and you start winning they demand peace and if you don't do peace the rest of the AI hates you. If you start losing they keep taking an the other AI don't give darn.

Just dumb. Also hate the spying mechanic, "Oh you have a level 5 spy in your capitol? Great but that factor is 2 squares away so it's not protected!" Just dumb.
