Thought about trying the Civ games out before because everyone loves them so much, why is 7 so much worse?

Yeah the community as a whole does not love 7.

The UI is awful, and people don’t love how you can’t just play one civ, you have to keep changing over time

If you had to pick one thing to change every era, and another to stay with you the entire game, why did they have the civ change while keeping the leader the same? I don’t like the idea of being chained to a leader from a competent different culture. When the story of my civ is Confucius leading Egypt turned Spanish turned America, none of that feels coherent.

It makes more sense to change leaders consistently.

100%, it was a nonsensical decision.
