Allow me to retort: First of all, debates do actually happen outside of debate classes. In fact, most of them do. Merely by bringing an argument to the table (or board, as it is), you have implicitly accepted that debate is a perfectly acceptable behavior here. Second (and I'll keep this...

I think it's funny...

Twice in same battle against Dublin I had canons disappear after bombarding the city. Anyone else have units disappear? I'm pretty sure that they didn't die, since Dublin had no units left at those times, and the city itself was targeting other units. I was using the strategic map view at...

To be clear, I wasn't trying to express real fear... If I were really afraid of how much time I'm going to log, I would probably not play! It does makes me wonder how many hours I put into Civ 4..

I haven't seen anyone mention this, but I'm terrified about Steam keeping track of my play-time... regardless of how many times I format/reinstall! :eek:

It seems like you want the game to be more realistic, but wouldn't that preclude the possibility of winning the game with your preferred game style? Not to be rude, but the last 200 years haven't been kind to the UK's Alpha Centauri program.

That would be quite accurate, yes...

Really? So my own difficulty will apply to all AI?

My friend and I like to play teams vs AI, but I can't figure out how to change the AI difficulty off of normal in the game lobby. Can anyone help me with this?

Grats on the win... thanks for the lesson :)

Maybe Bully?

Okay, yes... I knew there were going to be exceptions, but my students starting pouring through the door as I was posting, so I didn't have time to think it through. I would argue that Greece and India would both count as formalized governments at the time of their historical prime. India...

The problem with this is that you (and the OP) are asking for a Civ that is named after an ethnicity instead of an empire/nation-state. Is there an African Civ? Should there be? Maybe we should have a Southeast Asia Civ, or an Anglo Civ. The fact is that the devs chose the name 'Ottoman...

What's funny is that I expected the opposite comment from you. My experience has been that my troops *destroy* the incoming troops, at least when I'm attacking on the open field. I watch the percentages, and the actual percentages of victory are much higher.
