I really miss the engineers ability to change terrain. It was just so cool to be able to sack those mountains down into hills.
Also - terraforming in Alpha centauri was fun.. Don't want to build a navy - just raise the land between your continents and make a land bridge.
Seems like civ3 had a lot of the little things taken out without really adding much back:
ZOC
Spies/Diplomats
Engineers (terraforming)
Caravans
bombers being able to destroy anything?!? (Read: desert storm/afganistan)
Bombers should be able to sink ships duh! WTH is a carrier for than to sink battleships (read: PEARL HARBOR & the rest of the pacific war!)
Why aren't there navies the same way there are armies. It'd be nice to be able to group together aegis cruisers with your carriers and battleships.
Why do elite units not gain a point of strength after some victorious battles, but non-elite units do?! Or else the weak units shouldn't gain strength after they raise their fighting level.
I finally encountered what people have been terming the "archer bug" wherein a modern armor gets beat by a non-defended archer on flat terrain. Ug.. All I can say is that for my next game, I'm going to adjust the hit points of some units. I really feel like my modern armor based force should walk all over a country that has pikemen.
Still - Great game. Just wishing for MP now b/c the AI is very good, but not good enough. They just don't get how crafty and evil I am. Like when they say they don't like the way I treated the french, russians, english and aztecs. They just don't understand that those tanks lining up on their borders are coming for them.
Oh yeah - can't wait for fighters to be able to do something. Also you should be able to bomb airfields to either destroy or relocate enemy aircraft. This would be cool.
