green! Gotta hand it to clever marketing - they get to save money by not printing a manual, and compound that by upping sales with an "environmentalism" sales pitch

Got to finally play the game (on my brother's laptop) now. Played a bit as the Russians and a bit as the Americans, really liking it so far. Enjoy the idea of city states, the hex grid, and the new social policies system. Not sure what I think of being able to move units on water without the use of transports, or the way you can't stack too many units in the same tile, but I'll probably get used to it soon enough.
They have an interesting approach with the way they encourage turtling in the early-game (cities with built-in artillery and unhappiness being spread by expansion). Will make the game easier for beginners, but I'm not too sure if I like it - it seems a bit overdone.
