Unless you got a perfect city with massive production you could end up taking more time to build units late game than early game. You will never be spitting out units faster. In previous civ games, I could really feel a difference when I got factories - now your production just seem to be aligned with unit cost throughout the game. I want a checkbox on items that I wont be trading on any circumstance, and I dont want the AI to ask about it every 10 turns. I want to automate a city's building when said city is a tiny useless outpost - that, or bring back production to gold/science like it was in civ5 (you dont have to continuously order the city to build this). I want a spy to remain on counterespionage until told otherwise - why do I have to order him around all the time? I want trade routes to remain on the current traderoute until told otherwise - why do I need to order them around all the time? I want the option to autoimprove tiles with a worker, because late game I just stop building workers otherwise. The game needs automation of cities, workers, trade routes and spies. Another reason why I doubt firaxis even test the game on larger maps. They will sue for peace before they get any units close (if they even send any). This might not be a problem on small maps, but on giant maps it is ridiculous. The AI doesn't seem to know how far away their enemy is. You'll be lucky if you ever see a level 4 unit. Every game seems the same and you just go though the motions with a massive amount of pointless menu clicking. I used to play civ games like a simulation where I decided how to play - but now it seems more like a rollercoaster game on tracks. When you play on giant maps with marathon setting (like I have always done), then the game rules start falling apart. Click to expand.I think it is because much of Firaxis' focus lies in fast game speeds on smaller maps.
