You could have the AI system respond in meaningful ways to the actions the player takes (more than the AI's choices) by matching results with expectations directly. Abstract away more of the mechanics. To use Civ amenities/happiness as an example, if you're roaming around actively pillaging luxuries and spreading dissent, have it treat this as an attack on a city's loyalty and roll for rebellions etc. But don't kneecap the AI's natural growth/expansion if it failed to settle luxuries early on per core game sim rules unless it seriously did a bad job or got seriously unlucky. This is in contrast to simply having them play "by the same rules!" followed by a huge inherent bonus that invalidates the mechanics and leaves the player with no way to interact with that civ using said mechanics. Another example, handwave food and growth using general rules (plains? desert?). Don't worry about crop carryover or intelligent farm adjacency bonuses or food trade route management for the AI. But if a storm hits or barbarians are burning fields or there's a siege, or you block the trade routes, then have a related result on population etc.

England has a pretty sweet war theme but you're right, I feel like it's being pretty guilting about the whole thing -- when instead we should be celebrating the arks racing to Mars amidst the nuclear fire in the background

yegods posted:What a lousy system is G2G. It wouldn't even let me register, saying my email address (that i've used for 10-15 years with every other site), is invalid. Good show! Hope they don't require that to play the game later. Is it possible you've used it there already?

It'll make sense if the F35 has increased research, cost, and build times compared to contemporaries
