Rhodri Mawr (also seen it spelled Rodri Mawr) was the first king of all Wales and ruled from 843-878. He united the various Welsh kingdoms through conquest or diplomacy. He gained international fame by repulsing Viking invaders. He was killed defending his kingdom from the Saxons. Upon his...

Several of us have been screwed by Amazon.com. Here is another thread on this issue: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=68648 And if you call or write to them asking where your bonus CD is, they will deny that it even exists. You can download most of what was...

My vote for American SGL would be Philo Taylor Farnsworth, inventor of the greatest invention since fire (even that wheel thing was highly overrated), the television. http://www.time.com/time/time100/scientist/profile/farnsworth.html For those inclined to think of our fading century as an...

That's right. But under my scheme, you would have a fully healed air unit ready to do battle every other turn. 1st Turn: Plane1 from carrier attacks enemy. 2nd Turn: Plane1 rebases to city with airport or barracks or whatever it takes; Plane2 rebases from city to carrier. 3rd Turn: Plane2...

The whole reason to have fighters was to protect your bombers from enemy fighters, not to send them on bombing missions. And in this regard, I don't see how either attacker or defender should have an advantage, since the defenders were up there specifically to look for incoming enemy planes...

Does the fighter doing the bombing use its attack (4 according to the PTW units sheet) or defense (2) number when fighting the enemy fighters? Does the fighter on air superiority mission (i.e. Combat Air Patrol) use its attack or defense number? What is used to determine the probability of...

One other thing I just thought of while reading rozman's post...fighters should have ability to conduct air superiority missions over enemy cities/armies, or maybe an "escort bombers" mission. This way you could send your fighters to take out the enemy fighters before your bombers get there.

I don't know if these are things that would go in a patch or not, but I thought I would throw them out and see what everyone thinks. I think that it should cost you shields to heal units. The number of shields required should be some percentage of the original cost of the unit times the...

I vote for impassable canyons!

Amesjustin, are they asking you to return the game, so that they can send you the game + bonus cd? If so, then I would forget it...it's not worth it. As others have said, you can download most everything on the cd from here. I am just upset with Amazon because they didn't deliver something...

I have been most unimpressed with Amazon. Here is the response I received to my e-mail: If they had said that I had to add the CD to my order, that it was not automatically added to the order, then I would have said "I screwed up...it's my fault." But they are actually denying that they...

Perhaps someone can start a thread that has all the stuff (or links to them if they are already in other threads) that was included on the Bonus CD, so that those of us who got screwed by Amazon can atleast download them. I know that most of the stuff is available here, but it would be nice if...

My point was that when the 5th HP book was released, B&N and Amazon and those type places received the book a few days before and somehow (I don't know how they did it, but they did) timed the delivery, so that it arrived at my doorstep the day it was released, i.e. available at local...

I pre-ordered Conquests from Amazon.com on October 10. I just received the game last night, but the Bonus "Best of the Net" CD was not included. I just fired off an e-mail to Amazon asking about it, so I haven't received a reply yet. While reading the reviews on Amazon, it appears that...

That's true, but can you give a city to a Civ that has been eliminated from the game? Also, there should be some incentive for giving the city to the other Civ. Otherwise, why not just keep it for yourself?
