I remember legions from Civ2. You'd beeline to iron working, and lay the beatdown on any fool who dared start near your borders.
Doesn't it also mean finger??? Man I'd hate to be attacked by that, all the other units would start laughing about me getting fingered lmao hahahahahhaKing Jason said:A Phalanx is a tactic. Not a unit.
It's a game. They just think of cool names.

The sad thing is some people might think I was being serious......
You are right... but still some things are really hard to digest.RicoreGuardian said:And yes, a phalanx is a tactic. But if you get too relistic, it becomes just like real life, and if it's just like real life then why bother PLAYING it?

The Q-Meister said:And to a few of the posters out there: If all you have to contribute is "it's just a game" then honestly, why are you here wasting your time on an internet forum where people are talking about nothing but...a game?
He just said why.Lord Sankra said:If history is it's setting, why not take small steps towards making it more accurate? Especially when it does not, in any way, compromise gameplay...
I doubt it. It would make more sense if instead of being fast workers, they were, instead, cheap workers, and India could hire them out to more developed countries at the additional price of the hiring country putting its own populace out of work (unhappiness penalty for outsourcing). Then again, that's more of a recent phenomenon than a historical one...wolfigor said:Indian fast workers... what are they?
Did "workers" in India walked faster than their counterparts in other countries?
Are they build improvement fast too? If only move faster they are useless. When they are working, no need to move around .AfterShafter said:Hey, Indian workers must be pretty damned fast... Otherwise, why would the United States be hiring them to do so many jobs Americans used to do?
wolfigor said:From the game play I still have to understand the value of Fast Workers as UU, compared to the UUs of other CIVs.
If Fast Worker had a bonus in building improvements... well then it would be really meaningful.
Or maybe a warroir-worker (with minimal power but still valuable in the first turns)
