Wanna hear the kicker...?

Makes me wonder why the Civ line of game products were at least in my eyes allwayslacking vs Alpha Centauri. At least it had semi-decent AI and it was not build deliberately to bust you from common sense.

Games that build they own strange logic to avoid flaws in them via common sense are little... strange. I mean in Civ the whole mess of each city costs more to upkeep, exponentially? Where it also raised upkeep of all excisting cities. Thus making ordinary expansion policies bit nasty.

If a games AI works it works, if it dosnt, you dont pull from the black box new bullcrap to balance game for your AI's stupdity.
