A saying about babies and bathwater comes to mind here . There ' s some good in the base system . Other Civ games had personalities for leaders this is simply a wider set of personalities . A randomise all agendas setting at game start would solve a lot of your concerns . You ' d still find that a small civ would have to deal with whoever valued expansion but that wouldn ' t always Rome . <| sep |> ah , didn ' t realize <| sep |> Same exact issue except it was happening in 1 . 4 . 90 fuckin percent LMB who are without question the most time consuming and tricky to fight . Chuck on special forces and without that immuniser station you ' re disrupted 95 % of the time . And they heal like crazy , I think the Medic stations they put down actually scale with world tier , like 2 stations in tier 4 heal barely faster than just one in tier 5 . Feels that way anyway . Something is definitely broken , they should not be the mission faction that often . Although at the same time maybe it ' s part of challenge mode , that ' s all I do so I don ' t know who you mainly face on hard .
