10k of history instead of Civ's customary 6k. No other 4X has gone from cavemen to sci-fi (there's even an "Age of Rogue AI" touted in the trailer), and it defies belief that such an inexperienced studio wants to do it (their only other game on Steam is a strategy game with pre-Civ 1980s mechanics called Heretic Operative). You'd think that Paradox picking them up is a vote of confidence, but Paradox is the strategy genre's Bethesda, consistently delivering grossly outdated mechanics with subpar aesthetics. So I am not hopeful. The screenshots we have at least aren't offensive, but they are nowhere near the level of the latest Civs or Humankind. I just don't see this team delivering on the formidable genre they've chosen to attempt, though I do appreciate the attempt, and will be keeping an eye on it.
