I never thought the day of review would come, but here we are.

No, I will never get all of the achievements.

You don't play civilization to win.

You play to optimize. To play to optimize, you must play for the motherland.

When playing as Russia, you must start in the tundra. The map must be a boundless frontier, the temperature must be cold, and the barbarians must be raging.

You must build the pyramids for rapid expansion.

The hardest choice to make is choosing between Messenger of the Gods and Dance of the Aurora - both are broken late game.

But not as broken as the "Matryoshka" achievement.
