I tend to send a couple of infantry along and use them to defend my pillagers and soak damage. Seem to work better for me than pure-cav expeditions.

Feh. The piracy debate is getting old, but: Most societies use this principle, to a greater or lesser degree. Take economics 101 too.

Ehm. A little afraid to ask, but - you do know of bombarding? From the advent of catapults, til the enemy has gunpowder units, I seldom lose a single unit in city attacks (not counting counterattacks). Cannons come way too late though, so there are a couple of hard years with gunpowder but...

Really, let the kid go already. He said he's sorry. 25 - wife, no kids. Gaming keeps me sane when on boring assingments.

The very obvious difference is of course, that Firaxis cannot create a sub-par interface to cIV and get hardware vendors to supply drivers tailor made for that interface, and have everybody blame the drivers as soon as things go wrong. Software will have bugs, I agree. But the sort of sub-par os...

If your attack is along a (friendly) road, it will only use 1/2 (or 1/3 later on) movement point. Basically, an attack on a location takes as many movement points as an unopposed move to that location would have taken.

I cannot find that the discussion thereof is prohibited by the forum rules, only the crack/s and links to them: If the mere discussion of cracks/noCDs is prohibited (perhaps an easier line to draw), it should say so, in my opinion.

That is what I'd like

...which brings us back to "upgrade the graphics of obsolete units". Is there anyone who does not want that solution? I'd like to hear the cons before I scream for a patch/mod :mischief:

Just a quick note on software development, testing and bugs. I work daily with a lot more mission critical software than a game, most often designed to run on a very limited number of platforms, communicating only over standardized interfaces. Those products are not bug-free. They get...

FWIW, I never use automation in my cities, and I have never had this problem, pre- or post-patch. Are you positive that you have no automation options enabled?

I'd say it's there to cool down the late-game economy, so that you won't have insta-research and unlimited funds in Y2K.

Nah - the SS is a 'Team Project', so you win together within your (Permanent) alliance.

Well, and for us who think Epic is still way too fast, there are mods. Use with aggressive ai, or at higher difficulty though, as you effectively get more time to conquer and expand.
