so good i lost track of time for 3 more hours then was planing

Definitely a good game! Very addicting, but does absolutely need some balance and game mode options. The main game mode allows you to choose any civ you have unlocked for level 1. Then for each consecutive win, you get offered a choice of two civs you have unlocked that you haven't already used this run and the AI gets increasing levels of buffs. It does absolutely get to the point where it does feel rather unfair with just sheer cheat buffs outpacing what the average player can ever hope to compete with. There's a lot that can be done with the game that would make it far better, at the very least more insight on what buffs the AI get specifically (the health is obvious, but they also get significant gold, I just couldn't tell any specifics as it's not communicated). I wish the same way you get offered a choice of civs, instead of just unending gold, a choice of a technology for the AI to get, or a unit on a certain turn, or gold. I also wish you could play starting at a certain level, if not for unlocks, but instead as a fun way to play. Since you don't get to choose which civ to play at really at higher levels, you only get to pick your favorite civs on lower/easier levels. Alternatively, I'd love a gamemode where you can choose any civ at any point. Or the dream would be to have some kind of progression possible between games. The fact that the AI gets excessive buffs and you can't do anything to match is at times frustrating. I do want them to outscale me, but I want to be able to do something against the AI that gets double the units as me plus techs.
