I am really baffled by how boring and unfair combat is in C2C; I thought the vanilla and BTS was bad but this takes the cake!!! AND the combat is what turned me off in the original and now having tried this mod(along with Invictus) I am struggling to keep playing. In C2C, the amount of animal attacks every turn gets really old fast.
Back to C2C; in 2-3 games now I have been trying to take a AI city and it's impossible; 20-30 units to take down one city; because the defensive power of archers are much to powerful. What is shown in 75% of the one-on-one battles is melee combat and the defence of archers in melee should be almost zero, yet time & again they win!!!! Terribly unrealistic!!! I thought the purpose of these mods was to make things more realistic and better???!!! This representation is not realistic!!! I have had bronze age units attacking cities vs the first archers to no avail!!! But the most frustrating thing I have found in this mod, is, one hovers over an AI city and it says 2 archers and a worker. So, one lines 12-15 units to attack and after losing 6-8 units, you finially kill 2 archers!! But low and behold, there is still 2 archers in the city!!! What-the-fudge is this??? And I have tried take take those down, but can't produce enough fast enough!!! Also, AI units recover in one, while yours take hundreds, thousands of years to recover; even with healers, still to long. In every situation, recovery should be one turn( in the beginning 150 years to health).
Now, I have an unusual problem going on; I read how big this mod is & how to make it run okay and it has been; But I am having to verify via Steam the files before & after playing. Yet , it's not taking. Because every time I go in and verify, it downloads files(re-aquires). I had same problem with CIV5 a while ago, but got no answer from Steam as to why. It's always the same answer, "must be your compurter.!!"
Anyways, this is really bugging me, and I'm sorry if this is not the place for this or if I'm a little harsh, but I am frustated. Any help will be welcomed.
