I was enjoying this DLC and new content until I realized quite a big unfair system with the council of humankind can be.
This particular game i was prospering peacefully in my continent with 2 allies.. UNTIL I shared maps with a newcomer from another continent and found all other players that initiated the council of humankind. first they asked me to change my religion, or force me declare war on them since on the other continent there were 5 other players that always voted against me, then they sttarted picking my cities from me, without sharing any borders and literally being oceans apart.
The system that if i disagree with the vote i must declare war and go on offensive to another continent is ridiculous and unfair. Because if i sit and do nothing i loose, and they pick my cities anyway (even without occupying them. So instead living peacefully in my own continent with my 2 allies I'm now forced to pump out soldiers and go for world domination what doesn't interest me at all ..
To be fair i should be able to ignore the vote and instead force all who voted against me to declare war, then everyone would be more careful what to vote against.
Every other AI now has a traitor badge including me because of the council.
