So pretty much the same thing as a vanilla Civ release: wait for all the expansions to be released. This means I'm always a generation behind in the Civ franchise, but there's really no other way to play a Civ game than once it's fully fleshed out.
Let's hope this release has the same kind of future.
@br0kenrabbit: My gaming laptop chews through games just fine. Great for when I'd spend 75-100 nights a year in hotels traveling for work, too. Depends on the build, of course, but it's not an automatic fail.
I mean, maybe as a home user. But as a reviewer? Shouldn't you give it a little more effort than that? I wonder how much of the freezing was due to the laptop overheating? We'll never know.
At least until we get a real 30+ minute in-depth review/analysis from some Youtuber. Certainly aren't going to find that kind of effort here.
