    Now hang on! If you don't have mechs, what is going to hold that cannon that takes out the world in one shot? Besides, you might as well build a blitzball stadium next to the mech factory.

        You need none of that. It will fit in your hand.

        What is blitzball?
        Seriously. Kung freaking fu.

          The whole thread is a bit moot, as mechs will not be in the game - !

            Did we already have this thread or is my memory playing tricks on me?

              Actually, when you mention it, I think we have.

                I thought it was "Death Defying Robots" or something like that.

                That made about as much sense.

                        Lots of good points have been raised against mechs, thankfully. They're just not a viable weapon system.

                          I would like to see an extra era of tech in CIV4, but only to
                          the 'Starship Troopers'-style updated 21st century hardware.

                          Giant Gundam robots are interesting, but too outrageous
                          for anything but a game dedicated to them.

                            Mechs are bad . . . . . .


                            okay?

                              especially the gas mileage.
