Welcome to CFC! [party] :band: :beer: Go to the War Academy and look around. Read and heed. There are some excellent articles that will revolutionize your playing. I know most people hate to read (not good at it, too boring, rather be playing, etc.), but these articles will help you have...

Have you noticed that the guy who originally made the claim in the first place has now quieted down quite a bit? From 26 posts in two days to nothing in the past day and a half. Interesting. I'll say. :lol:

Typo in the game code, perhaps? Quintillus tinkering with the script? (Wouldn't be the first time . . .)

@RodRiGoM: Very interesting point. Not denying that DG and up isn't difficult, but you do have a point. I must say I agree with you. :cool:

:spear: Need I say more?

Welcome to CFC! [party] :dance: :band: :beer: :banana: What version do you have? Is it fully patched? Have you posted this same question over in the Tech Support forum?

Oh, yeah, I've lost a battleship to a caravel more than once. Makes me mad, too.

I started about 15 tiles from the Zulu and 20 from the Mongols in one game. Since I build little military early on (pushing for settlers and workers), I was crushed pretty early. Another time I had to play all the way to the industrial age before I got iron, but this isn't terribly uncommon...

Please speak more clearly. "Netspeak" is uncommon here, because we have many here who speak English as a second language. This helps all of us. Thanks.

:rotfl: [sound of buzzer] Wrong answer, try again. :lol: This has got to be the most bogus thing I've heard since someone said that artillery units could be aimed! :D

@BS: As I said above, I was asking you to prove, right here, right now, how this works. Avoiding me (and now us) is not going to help your cause any. Either you are a charlatan, or you have a valid point. If it is the latter, I cannot see why you have anything of which to be ashamed. If...

Ok, that's what I thought. I figured I'd ask around, though. I may not be the best Civ player out there, but I have played the game quite a bit, and even I know that aiming is not part of the equation. Thanks for the input, guys.

Gots a question for you: Can the human increase the accuracy of the artillery units? Has anyone done any research on this? The reason I ask is here. I think this is bogus, but I'm willing to ask everyone else and see if there is actually something to this.

Oh, come on! Wanna produce some kinda evidence? Artillery units have a certain amount of inaccuracy. Catapults are the most inaccurate, followed by trebs, cannons, arties, and radar arties, in that order. Prove me wrong, I dare you!

I like that idea. Another term for a SoD could be "Task Force". If it helps any, I usually always rename my army units (the ones created by an MGL) to be something like "1st Marine Division", "34th Cavalry Division", "4th Tank Division", etc. That helps avoid confusion, too, because I can...
