    Thanks for reply, i have few good plays in Civ 6 but i never played Japan before, i mostly play either some ancient civ like Sumer or modded Lenin

    Tokugawa is overwhelmingly the best pick for if you want to play a communist style game. He wants you to create a dense, tall civ that focuses on land management and production that can easily resist aggressive, imperialist civs.

    It’s mostly like i like to play anyway

    you can’t really like “learn” any real socialist theory from Civ 6

    Well, it is at least better than in previous games. You see, i have a theory that Sid Meier do know at least that much of a historical materialism to know that any civilisation is based on production and the science/trade/military are just results of that. But only in Civ 6, never before, we get something resembling production focus route. And of course it means that communism is gonna be OP, as it should be.

    Tokugawa

    Meiji Restoration

    Lol. On a side note, i still can’t get over Civ VII shooting its foot by copying civ change on epoch - worst feature of Humankind which is by itself rather crap game.

      Yeah I’d highly recommend Tokugawa or Ba Trieu next time you play for an anti-imperialist experience, along with Sukritact’s mods for extra wonders and ocean resources.

      I can’t get over it either! Civ 7 was free to play for a week recently (desperate much?) and I had basically the exact same experience the first time I tried it; I played for 3 or so hours and was so confused but also bored stiff that I just stopped playing. People are all like “erm Civ 6 wasn’t playable on release either just give it time 🤓” well I gave it 1.5 years and it’s still fundamentally broken and deeply unsatisfying even if it does have a couple of good ideas like navigable rivers. Civ 6 DID hook me from day 1 even if it took some time to get used to the mountain of new mechanics. I’m a massive Civ fan and it’s heartbreaking that the game is FR unplayable. It’s just so disjointed and like… unsatisfying?? Nothing clicks, at all. And the wonder building animations are SHOCKINGLY shitty compared to 6. What a disaster.

        I think 7 will get better after 2 expansions, every Civ game before also did, and they recently made the civ change optional so its at least a step in right direction. Also Civ 6 was actually unplayable at launch because of the crazy barbarian spam which took them some week to fix, but otherwise yeah 6 was better than both 5 and 7.
