Civ 7 is just a Western colonist cosplaying as other civs
Really weirds me out that no matter who you play as, Spices and Sugar etc. are considered exotic.
Even if you play as a civ that historically would start near sugar or spice, for example Indonesia, you are forced to experience the world as if that were just not true. What happened to historically accurate civ start biases?
Makes the whole experience feel like you are a western colonist who has put on the costume of another culture.
The choice to make distant lands mechanics allow other civs to start there but not human players makes the whole experience lopsided and feels way less like you are on even footing with other civs in an open world map, and more like you as a human have a special role in this world of AIs who get special spawns and are entirely excluded from certain win conditions.
Really bad game design

So many are seething like r-slurs "well, Chinese treasure fleets between India isn't really that far, we know this is all about the Spanish." Civ used to have a bunch of history nerds. This is the audience they're trying to appeal to, and that same audience is
when it's missing all the other good features.
