So, 1st, I'm a hardcore Sid M fan. Love Civ, and got the 1st that was released on PC years ago, then the super dumbed down version for PS4 called just Civilization. Last week (11/29/19) Civ VI finally came to the PS4. I pre-ordered from Gamestop and was there waiting. I have spent a lot of time (gulp) in the last 2 weeks playing it. So there are a few things that bum me out. 1st is the time limit, and often the (inexplicable) inability to keep playing when timer runs out. I like playing domination- so much funner as a gamer to have combat, ect, rather than watching cities build universities and stupas. I really dislike the "city-state" players, who make trouble by blocking access to enemies and only seem good for trading- however, I cannot figure out how to identify a real world country as a "city-state". WTF is a City State, anyway? Costa Rica is the only country in the world without a standing army, so are they the model for this kind of country? I customm made start (as America) and chose enemies- but then the game says no-go, because something is wrong....what? Doesn't say. What I suspect is that I have City-States set to 0, but some of the leaders that I have chosen to go against must be just that. It also doesn't seem to allow me to dictate the number of other countrys in the game. Needlesstosay, when I do get going, and put Domination as ONLY victory condition, it stops the game at the post-Information age, and if I have not captured a capitol, LOSER! I can hear you thinking, "Civilazation is not a "war" game, it's faith, science, government...ect". OK, fine, but shouldn't I be able to set victory conditions and play game the way I'd like? Bombers and tanks are the peices that win in Domination, however, you only get a few turns with those techs available before game ends. Any help would be appreciated, and I'll update review. Love this game, but think war should be the conquest goal (is that too American?).
