Being one of the non-VQ-whiners, but clam, blood and castle-whiner, I beg to differ.
I'm not whining because a strategy is unfair, unbeatable or similar. I'm whining because I HATE micromanagement, and all those strategies requires a lot of it.
To paraphrase. I wouldn't mind clams if the damn pearls showed up in the lab, or the blood slaves did, or if castle spamming did not remove or reduce my ability to create a few production centers to manage instead of every single province.
Is this quite clear? Please don't impose motives to other people
Thank you.
