I'm holding back and hoping that it shows in a sale at at some point.

As a massive fan of amplitude I’m puzzled as to why this never grabbed me - I don’t know whether my epic time sweeping 4x ing is covered by Civ and I don’t need another or there was another reason

In my ignorance, it always looks like a Civ clone to me. I may have mention before that I have never played any of the Civ games.

Now Vance is going to shout at me again :-(

I'm sure it's annoying, but is this really one of the game's more pressing issues?  This feels a bit like a "lipstick on a pig" scenario.

Actually, yes it is one of the game's more pressing issues for me. I've tried to play it but that single thing bugs me so much I just can't. Hey Egypt, you're now Japan!  :idiot2:
Very happy to see this!  :applause:
