Let's see...
The game is very well fleshed out for a vanilla game, much better than V was on release. The only cut I have noticed is UN, and that does kind of annoy me.
• The AI is very aggressive, they will attack early and very hard, almost all of the time. I think this was implemented to cover for overall poor AI. (I like aggressive AI, but I also like war)
• The AI is not too bright, they have trouble upgrading their units and staying relevant later in the game. They just love using warriors.
• The science is wonky, space races can happen in the 1700's
• The agenda system is heavily flawed, everyone just hates everyone, too hard to stay on their good side, without annoying everyone else.
I know this makes it sound like I hate the game, but so far its pretty brilliant. The district system is great, and all of the other announced changes (policies, workers, etc.) make for a very compelling game. Its flawed yes, but overall a blast to play so far, and I have sunk an embarrassing amount of hours into it.
