It's increasingly obvious to me how much of the game happens at like a macro distance. So when the game ends and you're just shown graphs and a short video clip with the same narrator clips even that doesn't do a good job of personalizing the journey. As stupid as it sounds I think this game would really benefit from the end game 'map replay' - maybe with some of those narrative lives set to trigger when a war was declared or a ware was ended. Even the kind of simple graphs in Age of Empires 2 end with more punch because of the 'big' moment stars. I think it would play to it's strength. Appreciating that it's a mixed bag of broadly shaped 'what if' situations. If you could choose to 'save' the replay and show it off later to people and be like - look at this combination and mixed bags of situations which pressured me and how responded. My longest held ideology was this, but, what ideologies were inconsistent. Was there a key moment when all my 'numbers' stabilized and starting climbing up - what happened on that turn? Was it a civic? Or an event? Or was a war declared? Peace established. Did I finally get access to oil...

Yes that was what I personally expected , thought the end dialogue of narrator was just the intro or yes would be really cool for war the last turns / combat of it
