Now that Civ3 has finally shown itself to be on the correct side of the Realism vs. Fun barrier (ie. The Fun One), a lot of voices are being raised for making it more bland, more boring, more like real life.
I simply do not understand this position. People are complaining that the few, personality-infused civs are a bad thing, not because it detracts from gameplay but because they think Civ isn't supposed to be "fun"! What kind of attitude is that, I ask? Surely the greatest thing a game can achieve is fun, addictive gameplay?
I expect these people sit at home during their meager lives playing stone-dead-boring tabletop wargames with hand-painted little scale models. Get a life.
