ICS, changing old habits

[Scouse Gits]

LotM - when you get Leadership, try closing down research completely and switch to all gold -- the AI will slow its own research to almost a standstill and you maximise the length of the windoe of opprotunity when your four footed friends can wreak their damage across the globe, at the same time your diplo corps is buying anything that moves with all that spare cash ....

Fun, fun, fun, until Firaxis take the ICS awaaayyy!!

Are you sure?
IMO you should ask Dave.
But AFAIK he is busy fighting against the Rome scenario (someone told him it was possible to win in less than 100 years and he was eager to verify whether that was bragging ).

I want to see someone be very successful at ICS when you have to wait until size 3 to build a settler.

Does this mean that when you build a settler in Civ3, that city loses two populations points (instead of just one like you do now in Civ2)?

I'll have to agree with rah - this will not be enough of a limit on ICS. It will still be a very viable strategy. If they really want to limit ICS, then they should make the riot factor even more nasty than it is now, or better yet, fix the double black unhappy bug. Of course the surest way to end ICS would be to eliminate it's reason for existence - the "free" use of the city square.
