And tell me: why wouldn`t the player do that? There is no incentive to work with them. You will never vote for yourself at the United Nations (apart from this stupid “liberation function” after they are already dead). They`re always ready to beat you. They have been specially programmed for attacks as they approach victory. You might as well treat them like dirt and enjoy the hell of broken commercial mechanics, because the AI is clearly off to have you. The whole thing is a colossal flashback that goes back to Civ3 or even Civ2 days. I think city-states are supposed to do this, but they don`t replace me satisfactorily, and all the gameplay “Buy your way to magic maritime food – UN victory” is extremely flat and simplistic. It has been said that the AI “plays to win” in this game. I don`t really think that`s true. I think the AI is very poorly programmed and acts without plan or by chance. There is no functional difference between an AI that acts for reasons that cannot be understood and an AI that acts because of random cube rolls. And if there is no incentive to work with AI, no possibility of community, then there is no real diplomacy.

Even if we could leave out all these technical problems, the gameplay itself translates into Civ5 very badly in online play. As each unit is so much more expensive than in previous Civ games, the loss of one or two units can bring a complete end to the game. As there are no restrictions for double movement, with massive flat defense and instant healing, games are often decided on the basis of wild click races. It is quite possible to move a rider seven tiles (above the timer window), kill a defense unit, and then promote insta for full health again… The other player`s connection is delayed without reacting. Forums are flooded with reports of players issuing commands, then waiting 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, full minutes before being executed. In addition, the “economy” consists in MP games with so low tile improvements and buildings so terrible, exclusively from the city`s spam bites to the limit of happiness and forest piracy for production. No one builds anything but units. The gameplay itself is not funny or interesting, and with huge technical problems, you have a full train wreck of a gaming experience.
