    Every time there’s a change to Civ people say it could completely destroy the franchise… We’re at number 7 now…

      And they intentionally shake the gameplay up with each installment. I’m glad they do. Otherwise there’s little point in doing a new one

      Yes, but this is a fundamental change to the formula far beyond anything before. It effectively resets the game twice during gameplay. In theory, it helps bound the complexity of the endgame. In practice we will have to see if it stays interesting or if it feels like it cheats you of all the work you’ve done.
