In Which the Civ 5 mod Vox Populi has balance issues...

Good morning, my friend, dear reader of this post! Wish you a happy Friday, and an excellent weekend that is to come next! How are you? How have you been across the week? As for me, I am okay, overall. The weather on my end has been more consistent, as the days have been relatively hot over a number of them. Not ideal, I hope for more rain to cone at some point!  I, for some reason, decided to take the dust off Civ 6, and play it a bit. I trust this is due my Civ 5 current fatigue. Is it my favorite civ? Absolutely. But that said, as I already saw what I wanted on the vanilla, I did mention this time and again, I have since shifted towards mods such as the big Vox Populi one. That gave this entry a rich afterlife with me, specially as Civ 6 fail to sit well overall.  Alas, this mod is not a silver bullet to revitalize a game that I have play more than enough at this point.

To the city where the tall tower would stand

It fell like a sandcastle
The tower above the religious temple
Once the biggest in the place
Huge wonder

Fragile it went to the ground, to the violent flames, trying to eclipse the sun
Fragile it fell, like a sandcastle
The highest peak on a dramatic swim
People sang as it fell, to a mortal dive
It fell, like a sandcastle

The fire was the water, provoking the structure
Defying its stature, envy is a sin, it won the battle
It fell, like a sandcastle

It felt like a sandcastle
How it stood, proud, millions would come to see
Nature do not like such attention, such confidence, it seeks to destroy it
Like a sand castle, it was melt

Like a sandcastle it felt
It fell
