450h and never played modern age

I’m really happy about what they are doing with the ages. In my 450h in civ6 I have played maybe 400 of them hotseat against ai. We usually play for 8-9h in a day and then call a win or a loss against the ai depending on the map state. Sometimes we decide to “continue next time” but a week or two later we can’t remember wtf we were doing and just decide to start a new game. So I have never played modern age and I have always felt it’s mostly “cleaning up” or finishing a game in 6-8 more hours that was already won.

That’s all gonna change and I’m very very excited. No hotseat sadly but my friend will bring a steam deck instead. If we do not finish a game in 8-9h we have the option each age transition to stop and resume another time. The age transitions soft-restart feeling makes it hella more easy to just come back next week and be like “ok I don’t remember but I’ll choose to have my capital here let’s go”. Just knowing the ages themselves means that you kinda know what is going on even if it’s been a week or two.

Love it.
