This may have been asked, but what if you promote a UU? Does it retain it special abilities upon promotion or lose them?? Like the Phalanx with 100% against mounted units...is that lost???
thanks!

Great Job with the preview... It's usefull and well done!!!

I was doubtful!!! as always but now that it's days aways I feel more like I want it badly!!!!

Little question.. I dont expect any one to know.. but!!! Im in Quebec, I went to see yesterday at Eb and there were nothing announce, the 17 yrs old guy just look at me like that... I wonder if we are even consider in NORTH AMERICA


Anyway... chances are that by next week I'll be playing too!!!

A quick note on UU... I think they've done a great job work with America... getting ride of the useless F-16!!! But in the other hand.. we lost Indian Elephant and China's look awfully weaken, arabs too !!!
is there an political issus? [just Joking]

The rest seem pretty decent... and for the first time I can say that I really want to play this game!!!!! 15 civs on tiny Island... beats Huge empire built any day of the weeks

I'd like to add that the change of having ground units and impassable mountains is a fature I am glad to see. It gives more realism and promotes better strategy to the game. Although I may be cursing it's existance in a few days when I'm trying to get my offensive team across a set of mountains in time to stop those pesky Vikings from counterattacking a city I just stole.

But the truth is getting an organized detachment of ground units over high mountain passes is hard, very hard. You might get a few over, but not enough to count. And the ones that make it over wouldn't be fit for combat until they rested and resupplied.


How about making a ground unit that can get over mountains but then be down to 1HP when it does? Especially over snow capped mountains. Or have a chance that they would be killed like galleys trying to cross sea squares. Not a bad idea. Hmm, I could have been a programmer....

Oh wait... I WAS a programmer.

Stupid cubicles.

Somebody did not read Hannibal.... He did it well to smack some Romans around for a couple of decades.

But Hannibal pulled AA when the rest of the Roman sentate had pulled 7-2 offsuit.


Luck.

The upgraded unit is regular one, no special abilities. Though I would expect promotions to stay.

Btw, phalanx was bad examble because it's upgraded to pikeman which has always 100% against mounted units
