1 UPT is better than what we've had for civ 1 till 4, but it isn't the ultimate combat model for civ or something. Wait when civ6 comes along. Most players on this site will be saying that the model the designers choose for civ6 is better than the one used for civ 1 till 5.
I've played my share of 1 UPT games. It's a pretty interesting combat model mainly because it allows some tactics, but I don't think it's the best combat model possible for civ.
By the way, I'm wondering what they'll do with the airplanes. I know that airplanes are limited at 1 UPT at a separate level from the land units. But will they go with the civ3-4 model of airplane missions or more like the civ1-2 model where airplanes move like land units on the map. Haven't heard or seen anything about that while I consider it an important choice in the combat model.
