The summary of topics is as follows:

Drawing the line between too much and not enough (constructive) criticism for [i]CivVI[/i] following a suggestion that the show [url=https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/polycast-episode-279-feel-that-impetus.614482/#post-14740027]doesn’t have enough[/url], and answering an email asking about “which civs and playstyle are best for each play speed” in the game (51m41s).

– [i]Intro/Outro[/i] | [b]Miscellaneous[/b]
Unconventional beginning, second in separation and questionable recollection.
