Default Re: Any news on DOM-III

Civ always had scale and logic problems -- fighter jet sorties that last a year, missiles that could be launched from cities *into* a submarine at sea, the inability to fly units over enemy units lacking any AA capability whatsoever, no concept of supply lines, free field upgrades...

...but more irritating to me than all of that was the tendency to put in an AI with delusions of grandeur, so that even when you *obviously* could erase it from the world at your whim, it would stridently demand certain percentages of your treasury or your latest technology (even if it lacked the espionage capabilities to know what you had). Or otherwise needlessly provoking you by dropping colonies on tiny areas of your islands. Might as well annihilate them just to end their nonsense.
