I think it's different to CfNA in that this game simulates an actual campaign with clear goals, but that endgame cannot be reached in a reasonable time by any owner of this piece of cardboard. I'd say that's bad game design...
- BlueTemplar 2y agoWell, yes, they do, for instance later Civilizations even provide multiple kinds of conditions for winning the game ! (Though in most playthroughs, the game will be clearly won or lost way before the endgame, especially in SP you often just declare the game 'won' because it's clear nobody will be able to catch up any more, and "shooting fish in a barrel" is only fun the first few times.) Sandbox doesn't mean no end goal(s), though you typically get the option to continue playing past the end goal(s).
