*For context I'm at turn 32, playing on hard campaign difficulty*

1. Hostile AI armies abandon their cities when I'm right outside their doorstep raiding, instead of seizing the opportunity to attack even though they're more powerful. Marion decided to become nomads and left Paphos. It's turn 32 now and they're somewhere on the map still hostile.

2. Tribes such as Thyni, Cicones and Thrakes send full stacks to eastern Turkey and eastern Mediterranean for no reason, just to roam about and leave.

3. Players can't readily see relations between 2 AI factions?

4. I'm playing as Alashiya and during the start of the campaign I had the "broken treaties" diplomatic penalty with enough of my neighbors to start questioning the historical validity of this. Alashiya was a trade hub, with historically good ties with the Canaanites, Hittites and even the Egyptians. Instead, in the game some have -10 aversion and some even more in addition to the broken treaties.

5. Bugs (unit pathfinding etc.)

6. Poor optimisation

7. What's up with the constant food shortage and unhappiness? I feel forced to disregard everything else to focus solely on food production and happiness buildings. The game even gives generous bonuses during the initial turns to offset negative food income , but now that they ended I'm sitting at -2.5k food/turn.

8. For a game that released after WH3 and since every AI faction treats foreign neutral territories as mere suggestions, I expected to have the option to issue trespass warnings but sadly that's not the case.

9. Minor personal issue: Why do the Aegean tribes all sound british while the rest of the factions don't?

I see some clip-on macro lens being sold online and since cameras tend to be too heavy for me during hikes, I am considering this option.

​

Such products' advertised magnifications typically range between 10-15x but I don't know if they're worth it, since my Oneplus 12 already has a macro mode with okay resolution (for a phone).

​

Do you think this will be useful to have or will it be dead weight? Thanks in advance!
