I think that's more our PoV. When designers are aiming to build for another crowd, which they apparently are, then maybe not so. I don't think aiming for another crowd is a bad decision, just one that doesn't really fits my gaming fun. And obviously I'd rather seen a great game like civ more in a direction I like instead of the opposite direction. In the end the sales figures will determine what civ VI will look like I think. More down the CivRev path or back to Civ III/IV. Time will tell.

In the mean time I saw a nice thread on apo about a guy who made a mirror map script which produces identical continents or mirrored pangea maps. Now that would solve a lot of issues for MP imo. WIll post a thread about it later as that is slightly OT here.
