No, it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. You don't need weapons of any kind on defensive units, which is ridiculous. You can place the best armour on themn and punch airplanes to death.

You love Civ3, that is apparent, I hated it. so what. Opinions are like a**holes. every has their own, and it's usually full of crap.

Please keep the insults out of this forum.

$20 for a one day game is poor. $20 for a tasty meal is not. Stick with apples and apples and leave the other fruit in the fridge.

Wrong, $20 for a one day game is excellent value, $20 for a meal is an utter waste of money.

Customers have come to expect games, esp in the 4x genre', to have months and months of enjoyment. If the game playability is bad because of bugs, balancing issues, hardware issues, ect to the point it is not worth the effort loading up, and you just bought the game, it's not a good value.

Which is not what I ever claimed. Please learn to read before you start making claims about what I said.

You talk about playing several new games a month. At $45-50 a copy for new games, you must have an unlimited game budget.

No, I'm simply a student who knows where he wants to spend his entertainment budget instead of wasting it on food and booze.

Must be nice. I, and the majority of gamers do not have that much money to burn. We expect value (meaning dollar spent, per game hour enjoyed, per industry standard). And lately, most games have fallen short of that mark. imnsho

Please name these "most games". I at least have named games that did not fall short.
