So far it's mostly making me want to play Civ 6 again. :P Maybe I'll get this when it's 10 euros or something.

I don't think I can go back to Civ.  After playing Old World and this, it would be like playing checkers.  And I hate checkers.

Wow, I didn't think anything on earth existed with this effect.

Hey, if you like simple games, failure boots.

As a general point (I have not played this game), complexity is not it's own reward in my opinion. Not in games nor in music.

My Civ6 is pretty heavily modded with all sorts of things added to the vanilla gameplay. :P

When someone says they want to play something, it is generally ill-mannered to reply that it is far too simplistic for the tastes of one's mega brain.

I have 160 mods at the moment, though I haven't played in a while so some may be out of date. Here's my collection: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails?id=3208749814

I did something only 4.6% of players have managed so far - I lost a game  :D

How does Millenia compare to the Old World?

chipwich

Old world is limited to sword and board eras, Millenia is the full Civ history experience.

Old world is tightly balanced, Millenia is day one Paradox wild and wooly.

Old world can feel like the same game, Millenia uses the ages and spirits to mix things up

Old world is more stable and altogether better designed, Millenia has some obvious design errors that the devs are trying to undo. The principal reason I've been cheerleading Millenia thus far is that it's been 5 years since the last Civ expansion, and this is a new experience.
