How can some of you say "Blank" is worthless and/but you've never built them?
If you've never built them, how do you know?

Leave the fanatic alone...the A.I builds them for me to stomp

I would get rid of...frigates.

Frigates are obtainable before gunpowder...so poor A.I is bombarded by frigates which are immensely strong vs phalanx!

I would get rid of the ORACLE as a wonder...I've never built it...it lasts for no time at all b4 being obsolete.

Actually the police station is prety decent under democracy.

Improvement---I wouldn't remove anything but I think the city wall's 3x defense modification is a bit exaggerates in modern times. I mean a city wall isn't going to do much against a tank.

Wonder--Pyrammids: Like someone else said, a pyramid isn't a granary, its a tomb

Unit--Fanatics--just too unrealistic.

Fanatics aren't really unrealistic.
Look to the Middle East as an example.
Plus they are pretty cost efficient.

I do agree with you on Oracle.
Even in Deity I won't waste anything towards constructing that.

I would not remove a thing in fact I would ADD more, at least make the 7 wonders because they are not all there! and thats stupid!

Interesting discussion; I can respond to so much. But I get the sense that playing style is reflected in most of these responses. So: Unit/Improvement/Wonder that I get the LEAST use out of:
Fanatic
Police Station
Oracle

hmmmmmm, most people don't like nukes fer some reason....... i like them. usually, before a game, i have had people tell me NOT to use them... its hard not to use them. its fun watching your opponent get murdered. but then, it sucks when you get hit by a nuke. i guess people don't like them because of the global warming.

I think you're right Andu, most people's preferences reflect their playing style - I've used Fundamentalism and fanatics only a couple of times (out of thousands of hours of playing). I know the city view and the conqueroring a city graphic are incidental to the game but I think they are inferior to Civ1.

Well then; wouldn't be better off with the username, DukeNukeM?
