My job was to help Soren make the Civ game of his dreams.
Now that is a goddamn laugh.
Are you really clueless who Sirian is?
That there is a Civ-community here on RB is also Sirians work. So perhaps you can stop your trolling and at least show some respect to someone who has done a lot for the civ-franchise and this Site in general.
I am very well aware that Sirian was one of the playtesters for Civ4. He mentions it every other time he posts. His self-aggrandizement regarding that is astounding.
"Civ4 is the way it is because of me." Soren Johnson was just some random guy that accidentally happened to be there, of course.
And I have no respect for people who continue to sprout bullshit when every fact in the world has been placed in front of them.

I would also like to add that bigger cities could build housing faster and better than smaller one. Maybe Firaxis is trying to kill off just spamming cities by making bigger ones better rather than punishing you for making a small one but oh well.
what do you mean by Inverted Foodboxes?

An inverted foodbox is sort of like a breadbox, used for measuring the volume of objects, but the opposite. For example, maybe I'm thinking of a BLUE WHALE and you ask me "Is it bigger than an inverted foodbox?" and of course I answer NO, because it's bigger than a foodbox but also the whole thing is inverted. Whereas if I were thinking of a SQUIRREL instead, then I would answer that yes, it is bigger than an inverted foodbox.
Speaking of inverted foodboxes, I have a general personal request that we cut down the overt and implied personal hostility in this thread, which really should be about Civ VI and possibly also Twenty Questions. As much as I enjoy seeing everyone's personality shine through since I know you all so well, I believe that it could shine through in a more gracious way and that would be even better. Since RB forums are 99.99% unmoderated, only YOU can ensure that your own posts are gracious!

Joey, stop being a asshole. You can disagree with Sirian as strenuously as you like, but there's no need to be a dick about it.

Creepy stuff is going on here  Imagine a senile old fart, talking fondly about good ol' days but clueless about present. Out of respect for past exploits others are politely ignoring him or creatively reinterpret his words to make them sound wise.
Suddenly an insecure young bully shows up and starts to engage the old man aggressively to show off himself. Naturally, the audience feels awkward and takes measures to shut the bully up.
...yeah, social shit is ugly.

I think they both are creepy but Sirian is creepy in socially acceptable way.

I'm just going to rename this thread "User Theory crafting Drama with a little Civ 6 Discussion" before too long at this point.

Inverted foodboxes are the most interesting concept about the game I've seen thus far
