Did any of you play Civ4 on release? I was horrble play, horrible bugs. Civ5 for release is ahead of Civ4. What made Civ4 really good was the expansions they had. Give Civ5 time and it'll be the same way.(Death stacks made late game multipler never ending. Catapult suicide stacks being the most annoying)
thats how this game works dude
collateral damage to counter stacks
flanks to counter collateral damage units in a stack (e.g. cavalry buffed by flank promotions)
if you find that annoying you have no clue how to play this game
civ5 is just shit
civ4 had some technical issues on release but the ai of civ5 is just not existent and it feels like a casual console gamer wanking shit like civ revolutions
to all civ4 players if you dont checked it out yet you should install the BAT mod which adds some more options and improves interface and graphics without altering gameplay
