One of the best things in Civ5 will probably be the way combat is handled. Without the possibility to stack we will probably see many more battles outside the cities. The player will need to use the territory efficiently to defend his cities.
However, a question is nagging me the last few days. Will the AI cope with this added layer of complexity? Will we see the AI defending itself with competence, trying to stop our troops far away from the cities, perhaps taking advantage of choke points and natural barriers? If this is not the case the new military features risk to turn into a major drawback.
