I've seen most of (but not all, needed a pause after all those informations) Marbozir's preview let's play of Civilization VII of 1 hour and I don't know in what difficulty it was, but it was in Online speed and things was going out of hand quickly. Marbozir befriended most of the barbarians and got several cities that way, not saying he founded some towns himself also, so he reached and exceeded the threshold.
I don't really know, but Marbozir is a very good player with I would say a luck ability (especially in Civ6), and he really did well playing with the new mechanics. But I'm wondering : isn't it a little bit too easy ? I mean at least, for elite players such as Marbz (and quite a lot in this forum too, when they can beat Civ6 Deity everytime), couldn't this harm the reputation of the game here or on Reddit or whatever ?
There still seems to be optimal paths (libraries improvements, Influence to befriend barbarians early, camels...) and I'm wondering if the game will not be cracked sooner than any other iteration.
Don't get me wrong, that's not a problem for me as I apparently am a casual player (judging by my "success" in Deity with Civ6...) but couldn't it be an issue for the game overall feedback ?
P.-S. : I know every vanilla version has its controversies, and the expansions are here to fill any gap though.
