This is on game pass btw, going to give it a try myself and see if it's worth the purchase.
I have it but was going to play the original first. But after he showed how much better it is than 1, well now I just installed this instead.

From what I seen, its not.
And I dont think the game changed much, the first game had issues but a lot were because the devs really wanted to make it a competitive multiplayer game so most of the missions were the basic type and very soon you seen all the possible variations, the sequel appears to be doing the same but it even removed mission types but cracked up the repetition to 11, there is a reason why there is a auto resolve but at start you have to suffer the exact same mission types over and over because you cannot just auto-resolve then.
Also everything that is in 2, is in 1 ... just more of it and I dont mean "better" ... I mean simply more systems, more crap to juggle and the devs already ditched 2, like they ditched 1 and like they ditched Stellar Impact.

I own both, and fwiw I finished the campaign of the first game (even though it was a bit repetetive) and gave up on the 2nd after trying each of the campaign races for 2-3 hours each.
In theory both rely heavily on skirmish matches, but the first one felt like it had a lot of story missions and you'd kit out each ship to suit different roles, and as they got damaged you'd make do with what you had for a battle or two. The second felt more like an infinite amount of procedurally generated skirmishes where your generic army clashes with their generic army.
Might be the campaign in 2 would not have grated so fast if I hadn't already played the first one for 30 hours but I really don't think the 2nd is obviously superior.

And from quite a respectable developer at that- https://store.steampowered.com/search/?developer=Triskell Interactive

Path of Progress looks like a city builder in the style of Pharaoh, and the complaints in the reviews are stuff you also find in that game. Not sure what to make of Daring Discoverers though.

Ancient Egyptians weren't niggers, didn't nobody tell the developers that? Or is it another iteration of "we wuz kangz"?

They always get confused with the "other" Egyptians, which were copycat niggers.

some pharaohs were niggers from Sudan. But that's like one dynasty among 30

I had sudden flashbacks from Battlefield1 discussion, where gamers/devs themselves tried to justify diversity among the soldiers...Ancient Egyptians weren't niggers, didn't nobody tell the developers that? Or is it another iteration of "we wuz kangz"?

They just mixed up everything.

That's a great discount for 3 games, I remember checking out TDP years ago and having technical issues, going to give these a try later
