For me personally, C:S goes in too much on building a nice looking city and not enough on the simulation aspect.

Fair, but I think SC2013 was all of that and worse (as well as having glitches and being a massively multiplayer always-online affair).

SC2013 had the horrible "agent" simulation. While I personally wished for more of the sc4 kind of simulation.
