But i don't feel like playing hard core ICS, for ONE reason: the double black faces.
IMHO this is a bug.
Taking advantage of that bug makes civ2 a different game that I don't feel like playing now, though I am convinced that the bug makes ICS very powerful (and I have not a word to say against those who enjoy playing ICS: hello! ).
I agree with you LF. To take an advantage is that 'HG converts double black faced city to a content one'-bug feels a bit like cheating.. and I really don't want to cheat. That's why one try with ICS was enough for me.
True, ICS is very powerful and I think it almost always quarantees an easy win, IMO. Playing that ICS-game was very education experience though (thanks DaveV!) and nowadays I build a lot more cities than before.. but with minimun on none overlapping squares!
