Quotes (from this video)
  • I just love that resource progression.
  • It the resource progression feels to me like that you start with a wheel then you get cards then you get uh spaceships right?
  • The game is just way too heavy. It is insane.
  • It's like a rock paper scissors. I'm building my ship this way to count to your ship. Then you should build your ship another way.
  • Yeah. Because they are so heavy, right? They do take such an investment you want to like uh go through, but people were saying that that Colution was was awesome.
  • I think the moral of this stream is we can call anything a Civ game if you try hard enough.
