This happened to me today in Civ IV. Does it happen in Civ V? I haven't tried V yet, but if it means my tanks won't be decimated by men with lances..
You're overlooking the bazooka built into the lance

The issue is that they will in civ V as well, due to the fact that the victor unit in civ V loses 1 hp in every fight ...
In other words, if you can drop enough knights in top of the tank ( not that easy due to the 1 upt, but can be done ), the tank will be eventually beaten ... exactly like in civ IV
So what do you all think about the new announced Civ V expansion?

Sid could also overhaul the entire tech tree system but that's never gonna happen.
There are mods that have done that, although most add lots more to it, so it gets more complex. Have a look around in the C&C forum, if that appeals to you.
One way to fix the spear vs. tank problem is to add a huge bonus to a unit that is two or more upgrades ahead. That way the first to a new military tech doesn't have a huge advantage over the guys who went for something else first or who are just a few turns behind.

Fix the AI, fix the controls.
Then again they failed for Civ IV; I don't think they get it. Let's just add stuff we should have added in the first place and sell it to people!
Just consider that most of Civ IV's expansion features (Events, AP, vassals) are utter garbage.
Shame on you for saying the Civ4 expansions were garbage! They added so more fun to the original game. I could not image myself playing Civ4 without BtS! Come on, you gotta be kidding! The expansions were worth of their cost? This is another matter, fact is they did their job, improving (greatly) already a great game.
With the exception of events, which I like, I agree 100% and turn those other two off.Vassals are a half baked, incomplete feature that has been proven time and again to not work properly. One of the most gamebreakng features of the game, The Apostolic Palace, was also released in this half baked sense that no rational mind could ever be considered balanced. Events are also largely crap
In all fairness didn't they add corps and some extra civs. So not totally useless, but not quite as bleak as you portray.Sure, I can disable these things, but then what do you have? Well, I guess I can disable most of them, but doesn't that defeat the purpose of an expansion? Well, there's siege not killing, somewhat better AI, and Espionage I guess.
