you get the hit singles resource when you build one of the modern wonders.
the thing with knight vs. helicopter is less about ancient beating modern, as it is about the mechanics of a helicopter, which is FLYING, losing to a land unit that has no anti-air capability.Comment

Exactly Minger, which is why it appears if it attacks with full HP it will never lose; however if it attacks when its already been through a lot and then there is a finite chance it effectively self-destruts... Obviously this is an abstraction, it looks the same as the knight doing damage, but I think it's realisitic to think that heli's break down and crash when pushed too hard. Happens all the time in RL. Happened to some colleagues of mine, who were all OK, but they are fickle things, heli's... Anyway it seems this point is OK. I'm sure we will find something though, the thing is too perfect otherwise.Comment

Not knowing the exact numbers of the combat system, might it be possible that ancient but heavily experienced military units will have good chances against n00b modern units?Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

One high rating doesn't mean a lot, even if it's from IGN (one of the more reliable sites). If Civ4 scores an average 90%+ in 20 or more reviews, this will be good news indeed, OTOH. Not because Apolytoners will care, but because it should further increase sales and therefore help the Civ franchise.
Personally, I'm very curious how Gamespot and FiringSquad will rate Civ4."As far as general advice on mod-making: Go slow as far as adding new things to the game until you have the basic game all smoothed out ... Make sure the things you change are really imbalances and not just something that doesn't fit with your particular style of play." - WesWComment

Anyone who thinks a knight can't bring down a gunship helo hasn't seen enough Rambo flicks. Da man does it all the time. In the original film he kills the gunner with a rock. So if Hollywood models it, it must be so...

As to the credibility of the source: let's see...the reviewer had the game, what? A few days? A week? 2 or 3 weeks?
Solver has been playing the game, how long? Many months at least.
I'll go with the beta tester, thank you.Comment

The knight vs. heli thing seems like it would occur so rarely it's no big deal. Given that helis were falling out the freakin' sky in Afghanistan and Iraq, it's reasonable to think a badly damaged heli crash-landed and got taken out by a dude on horseback. Not too much of a imaginative stretch.Comment

I suppose it is down to the individual and his preferences as to how he will like the game. Longevity, however, is another thing that really, only time will tell (well duh!)Speaking of Erith:

That seems unlikely. B-52s fly pretty high. It could have happened to a lower-flying aircraft, though they'd have to have gotten lucky. Really, really, really lucky.Originally posted by SpencerH
There were reports of battalions of NVA firing rifles en masse at jets during the air defense of Hanoi and bringing some down including a B52 (that one may be folklore though).Comment

I would be surprised at that, especially with the altitude of the planes and the effect of gravity on even the fastest velocity of firearms...Speaking of Erith:

So it's a nice Newtonian physics question: shoot an Ak-47 vertically up from sea-level, how high does the bullet get?
Muzzle velocity for a standard AK47 is 710 m/s, according to this rather odd site.
Gravity is 10ms-2.
That means it takes 71s for the bullet to decelerate from 710 to 0m/s. If the average speed over that 71s is half the initial speed then the bullet would cover a distance of around 25000m, if gravity were the sole force slowing it down.
So, no problem at all...
I reckon air resistance might make it a bit tricky tho'.
