Valhalla is insane and helps you get 100% happiness much more easily than before. Still getting gold for governors get really hard as you advance in the game. Troops are fairly cheap still so you should be able to build a lot.
Feels like building things and getting science is a bit too easy now. Reduced it too much from it being insane before. Now getting gold for buildings is the hard thing with less trade routes possible too.
Trying to get the pyramids, but the other civilizations are insanly quick even if I focus everything on getting it. Just feels impossible if they get big extra boosts for science and production.
13 seems to be the magical number with population. Taking over more than 13 towns is also very hard due to the low happiness you will get. Building up a town with very low happiness takes a bloody long time even with faith boosts.
Taking over towns far away is tricky due to the low happiness you will get. Can't really do it before you have invested in happiness from faith. Big towns work better since then you can put 80% on artists while uppgrading buildings.
One thing I wonder is if you would be able to abandon or starve a City into death? Would help to remove cities and you would avoid the annoying negative bonus having many cities give you. Then you can attack the enemies and the abandon/starve the cities.
It is a bit annoying that the troops do not stay in a City you take over or that you got the option to keep them there. A lot of the time if you take a city far away they will just take it back before you get a chance to supply the City
Once you got 7-8 cities it start hurting you to take more cities a lot. Should have more options to increase the happiness with buildings and stuff. It might come later in the game though or with faith.
Got attacked a lot at the start, but then it stopped. Should look into what causes the other factions to attack you and maybe change it.
Feels too easy to take over cities, but hard to manage with low happiness so there is no point to expand like crazy.
The map is bloody huge and annoying to try to scout since you can't zoom out more. Also one of my scouts is walking randomly and discovering things never going back. No idea how that did happen.
You just need some reincarnation then ;)
