I like the idea that you are making decisions on a civilization, however i dont really understand how some of them fail so quickly with the choices. I feel like it would be a lot better had there been a reason behind these choices like if you chose to study education it would give you like a counter towards sophistication otherwise you had one towards barbaric culture, which then if you didnt lean into more your civilization would fall apart, kind of making it a balancing act of progression without letting your civ fall behind in any one aspect.
