only just started it and it will take a while to get an accurate feel of the whole thing

so far basically it's Endless Legend + Civilization. it's very good so far.

(I guess I could say, game mechanics "spoilers" from here)

I like how they changed the start, where you don't pick a civ when you start playing, you just pick a persona. once you get out of the first era, then you get to pick a civ (though you pick one after each era), except that they are first-come-first-served so you will have less to choose from if you take your time and there are a lot of players.

(they are called "cultures", and picking one gives you an "affinity" (militarist, economic, scientific, etc), 1 empire passive, 1 unique building, and 1 unique unit. similar to choosing a civ in Civ, except I think you pick something like 6-7 of them throughout the game, from something like 10 options at each era.)

also, that first era you play as hunter-gatherers. where in Civ you would normally press B to build your first city on turn 1 (unless you wanted to move slightly to find a better spot, but maybe sacrificing a turn or two to do so), in this, that whole first era is devoted to "moving my settler around exploring the map and finding things". depending what you gather and hunt, you accumulate more resources for later when you do establish a city.

note that it's like Endless Legend where you can't just place a city anywhere. the map is split into regions where you can only have one city per region, and building a city in a region claims the entire region.

also like Endless Legend, the map is a bit more complex than Civ, with varying elevation and cliffs.

but I've only played a tiny bit so far so don't know how this will all add up yet and there's a lot more left to learn.
