If you push yourself though the escalating challenges, witch are nicely set up with an story arc requesting you to keep pushing, you start hating one of the species and that map modifier just to force yourself into a different playstyle that lets you fall in love in what you had to overcome.

So, if you primarily enjoy town logistics + resource production optimization, you'll probably find it very pleasing.
