As far as realism the current system doesnt make sense. However under the current system I dont understand why it is such a big issue with players. So what they have troops tromping through your land. You can do the same. If the AI or human player declares war then all their troops are...

I would make sure you are not canceling the change. Make the Civic change like you normally do then go back and look at it again. When you make your changes does your civlization go into anarchy? If not then check if your civ has the Spirituality trait. When you discover a tech that gives...

I would have to agree civ is a game for all age groups. Having said that it seems most civ players are in thier mid 20's. I have been playing since I was 14-15 with civ 1. All I needed was one taste and like a true addict I kept coming back for more.

Joe, I just got a laptop from http://www.cyberpowerpc.com about a month ago. You can configure it the way you like. You can't beat the price for what you can get. Cheaper then Alienware, Dell, Compaq, Gateway. I have checked throughly because I wanted to get the most performance for the...

Genocide you are correct.

There is no limit that I know if. They just keep getting harder to produce. example ( you receive your great person after accumulating 50 great person points, then 100, 200 etc. then actual numbers might be wrong but you get the point). And the number of points you need is set for your...

The MLRS don't fire missiles directly at a target. They fire to a position and they explode above this position and kill/destroy personnel/ equipment within the area. This is the reason why Iraqi's called it Steel Rain.

Check this out. http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/m26.htm Under the illustrations it states. The M77 submunitions detonate on impact. The antimateriel capability is provided through a shaped charge with a built-in standoff. The M77 can penetrate up to four inches of armor. Its steel...

How? Catapults, Cannons and to a degree Artillery I agree. BUT... Radar Artillery should be given Leathal Sea and Land Bombard. They are devastaing weapons in our military.

How do you get six Apache helicopters to fly in formation with their engines off? Put them inside a C-5 Galaxy. Or two M1 main battle tanks, each weighing 135,400 pounds. Or six M-2/M-3 Bradley Infantry Vehicles. Or a quarter-million pounds of relief supplies. You get the idea, the C-5 is big -...

If you clear a forest that existed: You get a shield bonus If you plant a forest where none existed before then clear it: You get a shield bonus If you plant a forest where one existed before then clear it again: No shield bonus.

Its all has to do with this little mathematic thing called Probability. What is it 1 in 16, 1 in 12 (after Heroic Epic ) for a great leader to appear? Not all that great. You should be lucky you get more than me. I play as the Americans so I hardly get a leader.

I think what you are talking about is establishing a Beach Head. This is a point where you can offload troops without fear of immediate counter force. To do this, first offload a bunch of your strongest defensive units. How many is determined by the size, and industrial strength of your...

If they intended it to be this way it is not a bug. Just poor design. A bug is an unintended feature/error. :cry: Maybe you can work on that feature. warpstorm: Good point I forgot that they help against Naval bombard

Coastal Fortress works the same way as ZOC for land units. You have a (not sure on %) chance that a ship passing by will get damaged by your CF. The kicker is: The ship has to be passing by on the coast. Which means if you have a city with only one coastal square it will never inflict...
