I'm not sure I want a 'soft reset' in the middle of the game. The whole point is to play one civilization through to victory.
But why? If I wanted a new game, I'd go to the main menu and click "new game". I want to keep playing my existing one! I don't want to have to change civs half way through the game. I see that you get to keep some advantages, like your existing territory and commanders, but were people asking for this? I don't understand the appeal of this.
Indeed. At least I'll have the benefit of reading feedback from 5+ years of DLC and expansions until they bundle it all into a reasonable "complete" edition and I pick it up.
The appeal is that Humankind did it and they’re trying to ape the mechanic from that game, even though nobody liked it in that one either.
Oh great. I haven't played Humankind but the Civ games have been facing some stiff competition lately. I can't really blame them for trying to pull in new mechanics. It'd be nice if they were good ones though.
