I love most of the changes in Civ 5, if not directly then at least for the scope they offer for future development... But I have one growing bugbear and that's the extremely hard line taken against unit stacking.
A restriction on military units I understand, but I'd love it if someone could mod the game so that:
- Non military units can stack with each other (meaning that I can once again assign multiple workers to important resources or protect all my great people in one well-defended city).
- A stack can be moved as a group (mainly for the ease of defending settlers and transports)
- Units can no longer embark, but require transports to be built for them once again (in essence that all units need to stack/group with a transport ship).
I think this would neatly roll back some of the more overzealous anti-stacking mechanics while maintaining the wonderful new tactical approach to warfare and restoring some of the challenge to naval combat (no more sweeping up of undefended seafarers).
