yeah you have to, to play it early.

usually dont buy predorder editions but i was feeling a civ game, so i bought it on a whim to try

i tried it for 2h and refunded it, since i didnt enjoy it like the previous civs. It just didnt click for me and was not worth 100€ imo.

I might check it out again in a year or so on a sale

They have the same mandated 4 weeks paid vacation as the rest of the EU. National holidays seems to be 11, which is similar to germany.

I do have the impression of france workers going on a strike a lot though, maybe thats what you mean. If you are from the us, i can see how 4 weeks vacation can seem like a lot, you dont have the benefit of having decent employee protections

at least it’s on gamepass

Looks interesting, gonna try it when it’s released for sure
