I feel in this game there is too much benefit to becoming independent. I feel like this game should maybe have a more teamwork based game with less incentives for becoming independent. Like maybe there should be something special buildings or something that you can get without independence and that you lose when you become independent like something that produces a certain resource extremely efficiently. It would make a better game and a more fun community. Because you can play with people and have people rely on each other :)
