So we can all agree that this is the best Civ game, and maybe even best 4x game of all time right?

Happiness isn't the best mechanic but it's not as bad as people say. Even ignoring the civs that directly fix it like India, you just have to plan out your expansion more towards land with luxuries or focus on citystate missions.

so i can understand the lack of appeal in micromanagement for you so i have nothing to say otherwise.

However, you do realize that you're literally describing the middle management for lots of retail/fastfood/service jobs? You hire lifeless lumps that wouldn't do anything unless they were told. So, you buy the slightly less lifeless lump with some independent thought to micromanage the other lumps

and soon you'll be able to replace the lumps with automation


also, you're probably enjoying the wrong form of entertainment if they're comparable to running a company to you

you can build something on to of the rock, destroy it, water the ground (that is a layer of rock now) from above, and build a farm on top of it. If you willing to take the effort.

just so you know you can make "outdoors" farm underground if you expose the tiles they are on to the sun once

>>1885740
I don't want to, that's just extra steps to achieve the walling and covering of an existing aboveground farm.

Is there a modern strategy game that caused more damage to the perception of historically accurate medieval combat?

I like the base building and tower defense in this game but I hate how every game lasts 30 minutes and then everything gets wiped.

i would much prefer a game like this where I can build a city for a few days or weeks.

You can try Settlers 2. It leans more into logistics and resource management, and combat is somewhat primitive and weird, but you can sink several hours in one map.
Also Mindustry, more or less factorio-lite with RTS aspect.
>>
>>1885493
I don't think OP still remember the thread. Honestly it always annoys when OP in such threads never bother to respond to people suggestions.
