Any Civilization fans try Old World yet?

I picked it up for a ten'er on Steam, I think it's still available for
that.  I only loaded it up briefly and played around with it long
enough to get the impression it was a proper Civ clone/derivative
without all the stupidity that happened recently with the Sid Meier
franchise.  I haven't really invested any time in it but hit has good
reviews.

I definitely left it installed, with the intention of coming back and
playing a round or two.  No fucking way I'm buying Civ VII until its
the same price. lol.

Anyone want to share their experience with it?
