10/10 gameplay

I tried to like this game, but I just can't. the "wars" are nothing more than throwing one big number at another over and over. the mechanics have little to no influence on anything other than themselves. it all just feels so pointless. I hear people like this game because it "generates stories" but I feel this game is better devoid of context because of that. hearing "I forced my gay son to marry a cow" is much more interesting than clicking on a picture of your son, then "force marriage", then a cow, then it just happens and you never think about it again and it has no real impact on anything. despite how loved this game is I can't shake the feeling it's not an ocean but rather a bunch of kiddie pools chained together.

This game is super confusing for me and isn't that fun once you get together with your friends. I do not recommend this game for others.
