might just be the people i know but why do so many people when they play four x games gravitate towards the kill everyone route like i don't want to kill everyone in those games combat is tedious and annexing the other people's territory is hard i just want to water my own little corner of the world and make the tallest metaphorical sandcastle and get so many resources and become the economic powerhouse and get everyone economically dependent on me and become the worlds biggest arms dealer and yeah i'm starting to understand the appeal a little

Late game Civ still having barbarians makes me so uncomfortable
These guys have been there for thousands of years, they've even discovered gunpowder, please have some respect for them ?? Are they barbarians just because they don't make art ??
I would like to meet their leaders. Maybe we can establish a merchant route.
