- ## Before You Start
- Given the real, documented community concerns about limited developer communication and visibility ahead of launch, it's worth checking for recent updates or community activity before committing to a purchase.
- Since the game is confirmed to span every era from the Stone Age to a futuristic setting, expect a long-form strategic experience rather than a narrowly-scoped historical simulation.
- ## Balancing Your Civilization's Systems
- Since war, diplomacy, culture, trade, science, and religion are all confirmed as core systems, avoid over-focusing on just one -- balancing your nation's needs against rivals is confirmed as central to the experience.
- ## Common Mistakes
- * Assuming the game has an active, visible community presence -- as of this writing, real player discussion has specifically questioned the lack of Discord, Reddit, or consistent developer communication.
