The problem isn't so much stack of doom vs 1UPT, it should be combat only versus any other win condition. Problem with Stacks of doom is that war was the only major win condition in Civ4 and Civ3. Having to churn out units in mass. If someone wanted to go tall and build major large cities, it...

Wouldn't the simple answer be to give a bonus to swoardsmen/long Swordsmen against melee units instead of moving pikes to after Knights. This gives knights free reign to attack. Pikemen and Axemen are the back bone of a lot of armies back then because they were relatively cheap to mass on the...

I say make swordsmen and Longswordsmen like Axemen in Civ4 with the 25% melee bonus. Or, give them a hills/forrest bonus against spears/pikemen.

Why pay money for 3 or 4 new techs when the same thing can be posted on the game servers for free? At least with a new leader, there are graphics that the mod community currently can not match.

The game is good. The game does have one more turn. The game stripped a lot of things from BTS because with the new game, they would not make sense. I am glad they got rid of these micro managing boring task: * Local happiness management * Maintenance concept * Tech trading * Religion *...

Would be cool to have a ranged rifle unit, ie Sniper to solve the problem.

One of the few things I miss from Civ 4 is the in game world builder. Not so much for the cheating, but for testing out combat stats for my personal tweaking mod. I seem not to see it released this year or maybe I am missing it. Any clues?

It seems one of two things needs to happen: Another gunpowder unit or a tech that "enhances" muskets/riflemen. IE: "Lead balls" and "Repeaters".

Best way to try to show the difference of Freedom vs Liberty. Liberty: Ability to vote for an elector of your choosing, Freedom: ability to go on national television and state about your president "George Bush doesn't care about black people!" and not get arrested.

As a person from a damn near country(Texas) within the United States, I use the term "America" to describe "The United States of America with over seas territories of Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Samoa, and other small islands". Americans as a term of people generally means people from the...

Nobody knows yet, would find out until we get the game and start looking through files.

What does the National Association of Marlon Brando Look A-likes have to do with anything?

Video games are excess luxury items. NOBODY needs them, people want them. If you want to play, you need to pay. Bottom line. You need a comp able to run the latest and the greatest with a ONE TIME INTERNET CONNECTION to make sure its legit. After that, no more net needed. Everyone is acting...

The problem with civics, was that for the most part there are no real negatives. Early Wars: Monarchy/Vassalage/Slavery/none/Theocracy. --Most amount of free units and happiness without anyone's religion messing anything up. vs. Late wars: Police Sate/Free Speech/Emancipation/State...

With 1 unit per tile, it isn't hard to break it down Military vs Civilian. What would be good is to have it to three levels. 1: Open boarders trade only. Gives the smallest bonus for trade(ie: only Capital) 2: Open boarders civilian units only. Gives half the civ cities open for...
