Yes that true, but I think the gernal thought was the value of the navy, and specifically carrier, which unfortunatly ( I loved my civ III navies) is another reason why navies are crap in civ 4. And you are also right about being unrealistic. IN WWII russia would not allow US planes to use it as...

If you think not seeing close up of enermy attacking you (land units) wait to you have a major air war. I mean I don't see any of the computer air moves against me, and when I then start my next turn I get writtern messages that I have been attacked. If I have units that are bombed 10 time...

I quite happy to have 3 (alright return to four) planes on a carrier. In fact the way th navy operated in civ III was great. Removimg bomber from carrier seems realistic as around the WWII time there was a major difference between land based and carrier based air abilities. I think the other...

I agree that A longbowman should very rarely beat a helicopter ( in the game) but it seem to to often. I think this has less to do with modern vs ancient and its has to do with gunships being poorly balanced to begin with. I mean i have never had modern armour defeated by bowmen, only damaged to...

I found that the difficulty level does affect this a fair bit, but I think there is a greater problem. Even if the AI comes out and you have a good naval battle, what then? After you have reduced a cities % down to zero, and have destroyed the particular nations navy, all those lovely destroyers...

If I understand you think its to easy, ie in world war II russia was at war with German, but not Japan ( yet anyway) and would not allow US to use its land as airbases for bombing missions? Allowing to base is almost like that nation declring war themselves.

I agree, its a little limiting, as there are now no major naval battles, as all the mainb might is on one continent, it seems civ 4 navies are a bit worthless

Once any of your navy has reudced cities defences to 0%, they become all but useless, this seems a hage waste compared to civ 3, especially considering the fact that artilery can accomplise this

As a great lover of Civ III I could not wait to play Civ 4 and at first was delighted with the new game. I felt that the AI in relation to goverment and interacting with the human player( a bit of a weakness in civ 3) was a real improvment. Also the combat system was improved from the point of...
