Regular readers know that I am an afficiando of the 'Civilization' games. Like most Civ players, I awaited Civ 5 (or 'V') with enthusiasm. But it was a terrible disappointment for more reasons than I can count. Some critics have counted them, though, and I think that the resulting criticism offers some great lessons for design in general, from the role of penalties, the need for alternatives, fairness and transparency in gameplay, and worthwhile objectives. Herewith, one such criticism. Via Civ Fanatics Forum.
