I have read Sulla's article and i think this is well done. Technically but also he nailed all the problems related to that game.
Tradition is like the slavery civic from civ4. Hard to pass by. He played a game that actually have approximatively 1/500 chance to appear(Shoshones AND FoY). So he missed the opportunity to actually play a more ''average'' start and focus on that average instead. But this is a minor fact compared to all the other unbalanced stuff.
I myself retreive bored playing singleplayer fairly rapidly and many civfanatics members discovered flaws right of the bat of vanilla and expansions. I mean i posted only 3 hours later how the internal trades were overpowered right after BNW came out.
Devs suck at this game, they didn't really care, or they didn't have the money to repair some things. Maybe a mix of all these.
Multiplayer is the way to play this game. A board game. A game which is pretty tactically intense when it comes to block or warring ennemies. But this game is certainly much better to play under mp than civ4 imho. The war weariness was a pretty bad feature. Thank god they put that away.
