Oh, one city per district by fabio 04/18/2015, 1:33pm PDT
Fuck, the tutorial doesn't explain much for how damn long it is. What is this, a Paradox game?

It might also have the worst tooltips I've ever seen in a strategy game. Most units have special traits and abilities, and they are listed like Age of Wonders. What you can't do is FIND OUT WHAT THOSE TRAITS DO. There is no description for them outside of the custom unit construction screen. Trying to find out what traits mean when in combat or choosing a new unit tech? Tough shit. Alt+tab out to the .pdf manual, fucker.

Even fucking more negligent: they do not tell you the differences in factions on the faction selection screen. Only once you're actually in the game, after a 2 minute load, can you go to the empire screen to see your faction's special abilities. But even then they're mixed in with every global effect on your empire (spells, low approval, etc.) so it's hard to tell what's specific to the faction and what's a temporary effect. As if this wasn't vague and shitty enough, a lot of effects will just be listed as a trait name, and you guessed it, they will not tell you what that trait means. Another alt+ tab out to the manual.

No fucking wonder this game defaults to windowed mode.
