Personally, my current campaign as the Casse has been the most fun I've ever had, in any game, ever. I'm at the year 175. That's almost 100 years into it. That's almost 400 turns. It's not boring. In fact, it keeps getting better and better. I've never had a game-ending crash. Whenever one occurs, you turn off fow and let the AI take its turns slowly and boom, your back on track.

Actually none of this even matters, because it is a beta afterall, and everyone knows what they're getting into beforehand. But that's already been discussed thoroughly.
