Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
The AI does act like it has a lobotomy from time to time, but that is mostly a problem when is come to diplomacy (British empire), but I like the idea of a turn based game were access to logistics and artillary make a huge difference and switching your economy from civilian production to war production is a choice. its interface is also surpassingly intuitive. yes its spreads sheets the game at times, but in the best way.
