Civilization vs Total War

[Axalon]

Ever since some freaking stone-age boy defeated my aircraft-carrier (or was it battleship?) I stopped playing the game that instant. I have never played Civilization since after that incident (this was Civ. 1 or 2 mind you - it matters little to me). I am just unable to take any of it seriously after that little miracle. I just cant....

It's as serious as Tom & Jerry being presidents of China or calling yourself "Darth hamburger" or something of the like that... So, for me there is nothing to discuss in regards to the stipultated topic of this thread. To me, Civilization have always been just a lot of Mickey-mouse after that event.

I did however have great time with Alfa-Centauri thou, which is essentially
is the same thing in concept.

I would bet for the Stone Age boy if he gets on the Air Craft carrier for rampage.

I never played Civ 1 or 2 but I'm guessing land units gets bonus against navy if they are right next to each other.

In Civ IV you don't get to attack navy with the land force so don't worry

Hehehe.... Well, when Tom & Jerry assume the presidency of China I'll be playing Civ IV. and pray to Lassie the dog that "stone age-boy" will leave my carriers alone. Or whenever I decide to call myself "Darth hamburger" around here, whatever comes first man, whatever comes first....

Yeah, they fixed that issue with the ancient units being able to defeat modern units in Civilization IV. Still, even with that glitch, I liked the Civilization games. That is what made them unique, was that provided you were smart enough, you could win with a weaker army, provided enough defensive bonuses pile up.
