[Poll] Should gold sliders be back in Civ7 ?

[Naokaukodem]

I would tend to the third answer, although I could reconsiderate it due to the civics tree of Civ6.

In Civ4, the player had a 150% bias towards science, and he let the slider at max science as long as this wasn't leading him to banckrupcy. When needed, he could put the slider full gold to upgrade his units, for a few turns. Then back to full science. Culture was ignored most of the time.

Now, with a civics tree, it could be more challenging, especially if we make it even more interesting. For example, unique units/buildings/improvements could be in the culture tree. And even, why not unique traits ?
This way, this would make the player emphasis culture at least several times in a game. (and most of the time in case of late uniques, possibly, especially powerful traits. I think of it in terms of golden age, while science would be harder to get and be the "plan B" resource, like the pike-and-shot is the plan B while musketmen the plan A)

That sounds like it would take the planning and building aspects of Civ making the game too easy for my tastes. They could put it in as an optional mode I guess.

I would like to see balancing the gold income a larger part of the game. Put increased maintenance cost on units with promotions and districts with high adjacencies. I could then see tax slider with gold income vs loyalty. The slider would be available when you change policies, or perhaps just be part of policies.
