With the cities having so much health and the archer protected, it can deal some pretty significant armies by itself. I'm glad that cities can shoot back, since it was pretty annoying in Civ 4 to have a single barbarian wander in and ruin the whole game from the start. <br /><br />The slow unit build is probably because you don't need such big armies. There aren't stacks of doom and the ability to take partial losses in battles means that units don't die so often. I don't mind the knights-tanks problem so much, since there is actually spare gold to upgrade them.Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-64547711608345987762011-08-03T06:15:25.130-05:002011-08-03T06:15:25.130-05:00The stupid AI is really a problem when playing CIV...The stupid AI is really a problem when playing CIV V. Sure, you will probably lose when you play at highest difficulty, because the computer cheats like there is no morning.<br /><br />But when you play at a slightly lower difficulty, which can still be hard, you will all the time find enemy units at war with you that just don't attack you - even though it would be a sure win if they did.<br /><br />My biggest problem with Civ V, however, is that the science advances so fast relative to the unit-creation. Sure, you can make the time go more slowly, but then so does the unit creation. There's just no way to play a relaxed game, because a little bit after you got knight you already have tanks.<br /><br />And then, the most powerful way to win is no war at all. Maybe that's realistic; but it's also damn boring.Nilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06468755466492675831noreply@blogger.com
