Ibn Battuta is a leader that might initially seem rather weak compared to some of the other powerful leader bonuses inCivilization 7. Extra vision for units and some wildcard points for the attribute tree are hardly mesmerizing bonuses - but once you start to get into building out Battuta with the right civilization and smart choices, he becomes incredibly powerful. This is mostly thanks to his ability to cover the entire map very early on, grabbing plenty of Discoveries and sussing out the best settlement spots, and then getting carried into the game by the extra powerful bonuses on the attribute tree....

The game came from scrappy beginnings, to say the least – it came out of a countercultural art movement formed by a group of artists, and its creators started work while living in a squat in a former gallery in Estonia. Going into the details of its transformation would take a very long time, but suffice it to say that after a series of events involvingfirings,lawsuits,statements, and even aninvestigative documentary, most of Disco Elysium’s key developers split off to do their own thing....

This, inevitably, means that there’s a lot to read and a lot to listen to, be it conversations with various named NPCs or banter between your companions.
