UPDATE: This is an updated poll from the previous thread about this.
Hi all,
I am coming from the Community Balance Patch subforum (come check us out at: http://forums.civfanatics.com/forumdisplay.php?f=497)
As we are working on a new balance for the game, one debate that has come up several times is the concept of TALL vs WIDE balance.
So I wanted to poll the larger community to get your thoughts.
We did a poll earlier, but the common consensus was that Tall should be defined as 1-4 cities, Wide 5+. So this poll factors that in.
To ensure we are all speaking the same language, I have defined the terms below:
TALL: A gameplay style where you build no more than 4 cities (on a standard size map).
WIDE: A gameplay style where you build 5 or more cities at some point in the game (on a standard size map). Note the pace of expansion is not covered here, whether you get "5 cities quickly" or "5 cities at some point in the game", this is considered WIDE gameplay.
Stronger: This means "more capable of winning the game". I have also included an option if you feel that one gameplay style is stronger at winning the game...for certain victory conditions, and the other is stronger for other styles.
This result is critical to help us for future discussions, so please give us your thoughts. Thank you!
