Actually the European Union, when counted as a united country, has about equal military power as the United States. And if the European Union does unite and become a sovereign state (sometime in the far future) it will be a superpower.

Very odd, then, that none of the American leaders have said unique aggressive phrases like Churchills, sure, sometimes Roosevelt says "Soon my numberless Tank will destroy you all!" but all leaders say that, the thing that annoys me is how some of these unique phrases that only one leader says...

You are clearly stupid because you think size is power, the British empire may not have been at its biggest at 1840 - 1850 but it was far far beyond any other nation in terms of technoligy and manufacturing power, by the 1880s+ Germany and the US had caught up and Britain had competition and so...

If people want truely great engineering feats as wonders, then the Panama Canal or the Suez Canal would be good, and the Channel Tunnel would be a great modern engineering wonder and is also a great sign of international coorperation.

I agree (Why does a message have to be ten characters long? If it wasn't then this would simply have the quote, and then "I agree".)

Mao Zedong said something along the lines of: "Welcome to China and all her horrible little peasants... I mean! Glorious Workers!" I am not standing up for Mao when I say this, indeed, he was a horrible ruthless killer, but, it is factually inaccurate, Mao wasn't instituting Communism for his...

I think some units are more useful than others, but reading all you guys have said, and using my own expierience, I don't think any unit is truely useless. Maybe a unit might be useless in a certain situation, but I think there are situations where all units can be useful.

I agree. I think its silly there is only one tech to research computers! There should be two or three, Computers and Advanced Computers or something along those lines. To separate the massive computers in labs owned only be goverments and big companies in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s (and all...

I think the problem you describe only happens on marathon and epic games, but I am not sure, and it must be fixed. It is about 1800 in my game and most Civilizations (including me) have tanks (I am currently researching rocketry!). I think the solution lies mainly in increasing the length of the...

Do first strikes and first strike chances still have full effect if the unit with the first strike or first strike chance is the attacking unit? I have expeirenced many battles with units with first strike chances attacking but I have never really looked to see if the first strike annimation has...

One thing I do like about this new patch is that tanks can now be upgraded to do collateral damage (something I don't think they could do before) and since in my current game I have a barracks in almost every city, vassalage and the Pentagon, my tanks can usually get two collateral damage...

I can't open up any advisors while I am talking to anouther leader which is something I think is very VERY stupid since I can't see who someone is at war with when they are asking to be my vassal and I don't know if if I exept for them to be my vassal I will be dragged into a war with a very...

Your wrong. A Phalanx gets a 100% bonus against mounted units, and it has a base strength of five, that means if its not fortified and its not on a hill or in a forest it has a strength of ten, the same as a Knight (as long a neither of them have any combat strenght increasing promotions)...

This is all extremely enlightening and correct, it will be of much help to me when I play those Civilizations! :goodjob:
