I think I am finaly done, became sorax ray, build all the big buildings, even bought the cantors in dispite shooting their brethren for a coffin

could do a world conquest but I am so tired right now, while you arn't able to snowball as quick and as hard in 69 you will still inevitably hit a point where your empire basicaly pays for itself

while the new techsystem is a good addition, it still needs to be balanced, I was basicaly hitting a brick wall with reasearch after a while since my climate couldn't support a leather industry for the libaries so I had to go conquer a lot and after defeating all my neighbors I was waiting more on my conquered cities growing up so they can send me tribute than actualy developing my city because I couldn't progress much.
Early game techs sould become cheaper and later ones more expensive since after you get all the money from the cities and get more leather in, your population will explode due all the civic techs and since it took so long to just unlock tier one of a service building you probably have already like 10 times the reccources it needs to upgrade every single building instantly, causing a huge happiness boost.

This big spike should be flattened, otherwise the game is in a good state and even more addicting than before
also I liked lots of the random events that gave some spice too the gameplay, plagues can actualy fuck you over now if you didn't build enough hospitals for the pandemic
also the sarcophagus questline was kino but unfolded too early, also all the cantor spawned naked for some reason, not that I am complaining, I only had like 3 archer quads to fight them at that time

tl;dr
Fun
