Quoting: Curupira

QuoteThey also note "Origin, Uplay, GOG Galaxy and many more" have much better support in this release, which I imagine will be useful for plenty of people.

YES! Origin is usually a PITA to install.

I fought with Origin last week, and finally gave up. I'll have to update, and try again!

It just might be the game of the year for me. I had heard nothing about it before release, so it was a total surprise to me. It's a bit pricey too, but absolutely worth it in my opinion.

Performance wise, I've had the same experience as you: Great to good, and zero crashes.

That's great news! I hope the Linux version makes it to GOG as well. STASIS was one of the bonuses during the last GOG sale! I hung onto it in hopes of a Linux version.

It's always nice when they finally get added. There are a few more existing Linux ports that I'd like to see on GOG:

Saints Row 2 & 3
Expeditions: Conquistador
Metro 2033 Redux
Tropico 5

Quoting: DrMcCoyThat reminds me: I still need to play Wasteland 2. I started it, got about half-way, then suspended it for a bit (RL, other games) and suddenly, there was a Director's Cut. So I need to restart from scratch there. :)

This is pretty much me too, although I was probably something less than half-way. I installed the Director's Cut after reading this...

It's on GOG too! Wishlisted until released!

Now they just need to get GOG friendly, and start releasing the Linux versions on GOG!

I am so glad I backed this one on Kickstarter! It looks fantastic! I don't really care about Early Access either, but Linux during Early Access should mean a day one Linux release.

I already own both of them on GOG. Hopefully it doesn't take too long for the Linux version to show up there...

Quoting: KimyrielleYou can argue for sure that the game glorifies both capitalism and imperialism with some of its designs. And yes, to make your civilization able to prosper you need to expand. But tbh, size DOES matter in real life international relations. The US is powerful, Switzerland isn't. For the simple reason that one country is large and the other isn't. Power in real life has nothing to do with how "great" a nation is. It's just a function of size. Translating this simple truth into a game where you compete against other nations to become the most powerful one, it makes sense that expansion is needed, no? They sure could relax the ultimate goal to be the "best" nation, but what would the new victory conditions be, then? What would be the goal in Civ for a nation like Switzerland?

Size = power isn't really true. Canada is the second largest country in the world, but we certainly aren't the second most powerful. I'd say it's more of a combination of size, population and perceived economic & military clout that defines power.

The goal of a nation like Switzerland would be to survive and prosper despite their geographical limitations.
