Didn't these guys used to cause collateral damage whenever they were attacked? Maybe I'm misremembering, but I miss that. I guess the interception chance took it's place, not sure.. Exactly which patch nerfed the Machine Gunner?

ps: Archers can be upgraded into Machine Gunners. CG3 Machine Gunners FTW!

I don't recall any defending unit having the ability to cause collateral damage.

Nope, not as far as I can recall.


Edit: What you're thinking of is that MG take NO collateral damage

Maybe that's it. Well, damn, maybe MGs should cause a little collateral, somewhere around 25%.

You can't cause collateral while defending.

I think of bombarding units/artillery that supports attacks in Civ4 as being like a supply of ammunition that was brought to the front to support the upcoming attack. So, it does not offend my sensibilities to expect to "lose" the units. I just view this process as expending ammo. But, the lack of defensive artillery is just plain unrealistic. Bombarding units and archers should get some defensive fire.

ThorRex, totally agree. i like how archers acted in civ 3
