That isn’t new to the app, the game always takes a little to get used to. If you don’t know the game there is a steep learning curve. However you can find a few friends that all agree not to be obnoxious. So if I had a complaint it would be that. It’s hard once you fall behind on military or government to recover. Basically if the other players are not trying to add culture even by age 2 its clear they are waiting for Napoleon. No complaints at all, if you are used to friendly games where no one uses military you might be in for a surprise, but after a few games you figure out you better keep up especially in the last age.
