Ranged combat? WTH?! Can someone please explain...

In civ5, units will be limited by resources. Given that tanks were difficult to balance in civ4, I highly doubt tanks won't be limited by something.

This is a bizarre argument. In Civ4, you have tons of tanks, and they weren't limited by resources. In Civ5, the spearman vs tank situation won't occur, because full health units don't die from a single combat.

Incorrect, in the combat clips there are two times a full health unit dies from a single combat (each time it was facing something with ~2x the strength)

Well i hope your right about civ V, i dont want it to be problem.

But going back to civ4 i can't be the only one who gets annoyed when they lose thier 100 xp general tank to musketman or rifleman.

2x the strength PLUS 4-5 promotions. So quite possibly 3x the strength. And these shots were quite possibly deliberately selected because the graphics look cooler.

I meant units of of equivalent strength. So, not incorrect.
