Civilization is coming for the ZX Spectrum, it seems realistic that the game will be finalized, and that it will be very playable, as the author is Andrew771 who has already made something similar in the Euphoria 2D game for the ZX Spectrum. This was a game that took us more than 20 hours to complete. See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jugynnsqXg
