One of the main stratagies I used in Civ3 was get an airforce first, make lots of bombers before the flak defense was available for the other civilizations and then grab the real estate. Now in CIV I find that my good old airforce can't really take out anything completely. Once the units in a square are at 1/2 strength you can't even attack anymore. I take it this must be for game balance and I'm wondering what others are using the airfoce for other then decimating the landscape (which works well also
, but isn't nearly as satisfying as getting what I really want with little risk.) Thanks to all who respond.
