So while in purpose they're kind of similar, in Civ you have much more options to micromanage stuff. For example, instead of cty building scheme you could just pay fixed gold amount/resources to get a bonus to research, commerce or production (maybe proportional to some research). But that again would make micromanagement more shallow.

Micromanagment isn't depth, it's tedium. Having choices about tile development is depth but redoing them every few turns isn't.

Nevertheless, it's what many people are looking for and that's why they don't like Dominions. |
