Millennia - 4X Civ Like published by Paradox

Humankind was dominated by finding degenerate combos between civ choices and had extreme snowballing.

I stopped playing Humankind, cause I did't like it.

CC seems to have an investment in this game, he's been touting it from even before it got released 

I'm just concerned about people condemning a game without actually playing it. It is exactly good game, but you actually have to play the game and not just condemn it because you don't like the aesthetics or something that's silly like that after playing an hour or so of a demo.

I may just be a dope, but I find aesthetics (and the details of this will ultimately be a matter of personal taste) in a computer game to be very important.

That said, I'm always a bit wary of his videos, because he tends to get hard into the hype.

Still getting that flash of dissonance every time he mentions the tick tree.
