Here is some critisims I have to make. I only own PTW and Civ3
1. I don't think that some UUs should be here
2. The battles are purely by chance, I really think there should be a real time battle where you can get it done in 1 battle.
3. The weakness of Artillary and aircrafts are too much, since in the Austrian war of succesion and the various wars of Lious XIV showed that a 1:10 ratio of infratary to arts can devestate a enemy force. At the peak of Austrian war of succession art. caused about 50% of enemy casualties. The Bomber in the real world can destory armies. The American airforce destroyed something like 50% of the Iraqi military in the first Persian Gulf war. While in this game, there are only WW2 bombers that you have to use in a mordern world(since the Stealth bomber is pretty expensive for my tastes.
4. There should be better combat estimates, since a warrior could never possibly destory a tank(that happened to me two times).
5. Some very important units in history are missing from the Civ3 game, such as the portable SAMs.
6. Why couldn't subs and battleships carry cruise missles( my spelling sucks, but I think you got what I mean)? I mean all of the US battleships and fast+slow attack subs carry cruise missels.
7. Tech resarch is kind of slow for my tastes, since in the Renissance, resarch went by alot faster than 11 per tech.
If you have any comments, please post.
