simplified combat

[Alice]

sorry if this has been asked before.

I don't but it would be fun to try

 

[CaptTuttle]

For Simplified combat and no diplomacy I switch to an old pc game called EMPIRE

 

[Alice]

I see your point
That's why I was wondering if anyone ever used that option, I've never met anyone who did.

 

[gr8ful wes]

I didnt see the point of using it, so I havent tried it yet.

 

[funxus]

It's probably there just for the "backward compability", people who didn't like they changed that from civ1. No never use it

 

[Duke of Marlbrough]

The combat system was one of the better changes between Civ 1 and Civ 2.

 

[Ace]

If I want to use simplified combat, I will play civ 1!!

 

[Remorseless]

Hell, I don't even know what simplified combat would look like, much less ever used it.

I do, however, almost always pick my own opponents. Hmm, maybe there's a thread there....

 

[Jace]

The improved combat system in Civ2 is a major improvement to the game. Just ask any CIV 1 player, who has lost a battleship to a phalanx.

 

[Ace]

Phalanx???? try losing a battleship to a SETTLER!!!!!!! That was the worst thing about the original combat system in Civ 1.

 

[FLQ.Storm]

settlers were strong i agree
but they still are too much in my opinion

 

[Finvola]

No, I have never used simplified combat, and I don't think I ever will.

 

[Marlos]

Those Civ1 lovers probably would use it. I never have, and I suppose I won't ever -- unless you want me to come back here and rant! :rant:

Someone PM Portuguese and let him know that we are dogging Civ1!

 

[Zwelgje]

Portuguese has been notified...
Actually the simplified combat system is such a pain, I like the Civ2 combat system much better. I don't even understand why the simplified combat option is there in Civ2...

 

[eyeball]

I never use simplivied combat. In one of my first Civ 1 games I lost a tank to an enemy militia.

 

[Simon Darkshade]

I have never tried the option; the Civ2 combat system adds the extra dimension, which is more interesting.

 

[Garvarg]

Never bothered with it, but I guess it could be helpful to someone new to the game to help them get used to the higher levels of difficulty.
