[quote=akots;129938]I don't see anything wrong with ICS personally. Except that it is boring to play if you need a good result, like for example, a GOTM competition.

However, Sulla is right about low activity of the forums and in multiplayer which is essentially unplayable at this stage.

I totally agree nothing is wrong with ICS, it's been a core Civ strat ever since Civ I (where you could just build cities right next to each other iirc). I do think Civ V game mechanics power ICS too much as there really is no decent countering effect to spamming cities at all like maintenance/corruption did. Well apart from boredom that is.

The fact that the forum & competitive community isn't really warming up to the game should worry Fir/2k. In the end they are the ones carrying the game and providing replayability and feedback. I think losing them will seriously hurt a civ VI.

Lol, think it would be much better if I won't be involved to mess things up. There's no civ game designer in me.

Garee with that, he seems to do a fair bit of civ developer bashing. No need for that. But apart from that I do think he has some valid points about the game design.
