Hey, i recently bought civ 4 a week ago, and everything was great but the combat still bears the terrible mark from civilization 3.
The tech tree is pretty cool and the economics, but when it comes to combat it's just plain garbage.
I would like a mod that includes the following:
A. Allow players to have many units attack at the same time, multiplying the damage done.
B. Realism in combat, don't allow crossbowman or musketeers to destroy tanks for the love of god.
C. Each empire has special units according to the age, not being seperated from others, I.e., Japanese can have samurai early, but english has to wait until industrial age etc. (Give the english earlier military units that are unique, and give japanese more modern specials)
D. Make the probability of a Stealth bomber getting destroyed by a spitfire tiny.
E. If a ICBM detonates on a city, instead of doing "Damage counters" change the code to complete decimation, including all units lost or taking health damage, and city flattened. (Did the devs not know how powerful a nuke is?)
F. Give the british SAS special units, a upgrade from redcoats (please!)
G. If no one is patient enough to change unit rules, at least give freaken crossbowmen ak-47 models and animations when the modern age comes, so it makes more sense when highly trained seals get blasted away from them. (Even though seals are actually very very strong)
H. Remove the chance of a nuclear power plant blowing up, nuclear power plant accidents are rare and usually resulted in incompetent workers, however with computers there are no mistakes anymore.
I. Make stealth bombers and jet fighters more effective (Again, Jet fighters and stealth bombers use high tech targeting systems, how the hell do they miss or even do minimal damage?)
J. allow the panzer to be upgraded to a german leopard, because in modern day and age any modern tank could survive the blow from a panzer. Besides the leopard is a modern tank anyways.
K. Remove empire equality, Not every empire or race in history has ever been the same, they have weaknesses and strengths, please add it for more realistic fun.
L. Remove Anti-war protests whenever a enemy declares war on you. It's grade a bullcrap because i never started the war and my own people hate me even though the war started from them? Come on...
M. Add more variety to units, not enough types of infantry/warriors/naval vessels/ etc.
N. Give empires like russia Mig models for the jet fighter to give some more content, and distinguished looks.
I am a big strategic fan, and i look upon civ 4 in dissapointment in it's combat; with my experience of board gaming and turn based warfare, this has to be the most terrible example of what wargaming is like.
I need a mod that makes combat more fun and challenging. If someone still has crossbowmen, it's not my problem that they get wiped out from tanks, why should we lose our modern armor cause the low tech empire sucks? It's about skill to survive, and to survive you have to stay with the pack, otherwise you are long gone.
