I'll try to keep this short (I have a nasty habit of getting long winded)
1) I've come to realize through playing the game and perusing the occasional thread here that the Civilopedia is wrong on quite a few things. One point that I'm wondering about is the statement found in the description of both tanks and modern tanks. In the entries of both it states these units are capable of attacking multiple times in a turn. However, in the games I've had with tanks I have yet to see this. After my tanks have attacked and I move them to attack a second time I get the message telling me they can only attack once. So, is the Civilopedia incorrect about this ability? When the tank attacks is it really attacking other units at the same time and just not showing this? I'll admit I have yet to use modern tanks in any game so do they have this ability? [I would love to get to them in a game for once, I just don't have the patience to wait 3-4 minutes between turns]
2) I was very surprised and curious when I first saw that tanks only had a movement of 2, especially since Riders, Cavalry, and Cossacks all have a movement rate of 3! When I got the game and read about the above ability that tanks and modern tanks are supposed to have I figured this evened out. Now that this doesn't seem to be the case I'm curious if anyone has read why this decision was made? I certainly can't think of too much historical precedent to have the movement rates be as they are so I imagine it was a playability issue that governed this decision. Any thoughts or comments about this?
