Try to write rules that help that players use an other strategy then
ICS. (But its harder to get that ideas in ...)

In my personal ruleset i have workers and i usually build caravans. Ok,
when all cities have all buildings + 4 trade routes and the hole world is
irrigated +++ i also have to use coinage.
