imo, it's good the game does not allow you to easily do everything. It then forces you to prioritise - am I going full cities to get that 5 + 10 VP? Do I just stop a bit after Beijing so I farm the efficient cities I pass through?the point of 'use the lowest die' is to create a sharper distinction between good and bad rolls. I won't say I like it, but I will not go as far as to say it's unfun since I know the rationale.
but of course, this is all just personal game preference and nothing against you.
