Fix your damn game, Firaxis!

This is coming from a place of love. I've been playing since release and I appreciate the strides the game has made...

...even if I think the developers have been forced to make changes to chase players who will never be invested in the game's original vision.

Still, you gotta fix your game.

Sometimes I claim a tile with one resource in it only to find that I got a different one. I don't want this fish. I wanted the whale on the screen. Fix your game!

I love playing Spain. But if I build or buy a Fleet Commander while I'm already running Great and Most Fortunate Navy, the Commander gets the Flotilla promotion but the slots don't open. I have to wait until I can remove the tradition and replace it with another. Fix your game!

There are others, but those are my recent peeves. What are yours?

Difficult Choices...

Gee, I wonder which crisis policy I'm not going to pick?

The best 30 influence I ever spent...

I'm Rome. I've already discovered Bronze Working, and I have the cash to convert the Warriors in my Legatus to Legions.

My technologically-inferior hostile neighbor has a few Warriors on my border. I spend 30 Influence to denounce the military presence on my border. My neighbor accepts, and then declares war on the very next turn.

Boom! +6 War Support.

This has happened in each of the last two games I've played. Neither of them got out of the Ancient Era alive.

Edit: I should have mentioned that I take the +1 War Support bonus from the Military Tree (on the way to getting +1 Settlement Limit) so "only" +5 came from the enemy decision to violate their promise not to attack me.
