Okay, I was running a debate in the rants thread which really wasn't fair because haters aren't allowed to post anywhere but there (right?) and we fanboys get to post everywhere else. So I needed to start this thread so that we all can just get along. Anyway, the debate, as usual, has evolved...

All this talk about horses being super units that ruin ciV keeps taking me back to the day when I introduced my Nephew to Master of Magic. I had him at 'Magic'. But I really grabbed him when I said... 'If you ever get depressed and just want to kick the snot out of the AI on the highest...
