I updated to latest SVN and started a new game.
I attacked a gharial, got a golden age for free, then got tons of units for free.
Also I went from a minor civ to a "real" civ.
WTF? why the free units? I can't even afford their upkeep so I'll have to delete them. But worse, getting a large number of free units out thin air is spitting in the face of the very concept of a strategy game.
It's like playing a WW2 strategy game as Germany, manage to conquer and destroy England, then in 1944 the invasion of Normandy happens anyway, the invasion fleet and army just spawn out of thin air. I mean, what is the point of simulating an economy if then you bypass it anyway by spawning tons of free units?
Or if you want to attack the AI, scout out a weak target city, build an army capable of overcoming the defenders, then suddenly the AI gets a massive number of defenders there out of thin air.
This sucks hard, makes me lose interest in this game.
