  • airbases on hills

    Do these still work?

  • #2
    No, it doesn't work because your question (if it is one) doesn't make sense. Please be more specific.

      Sure, you just need to land on the uphill.

        Made perfect sense. The answer is NO, you don't get any free improvements on the square like in an earlier version of civ. There are no airbases anymore, you use forts, which can also be used as a canal, since ships treat them like cities.

            But you can only put three planes in your fort.

            However, you can use your paratroopers from your fort (if it's in your territory).

              FOUR, Supr49er. Not 3 aircraft. Three is for carriers.

                Thanks.

                Speaking of carriers, since they can only hold three fighters, not bombers, shouldn't there be a naval bomber unit, less powerful than a bomber but more powerful than a fighter?

                  Since fighters are able to conduct ground attack missions, they are already filling the roles that F/A-18s do now. I interpret bombers as strategic bombers (B-1, B-52, B-17, etc) and fighters as everything with an "F" or an "A" designation in the US arsenal. Equivalent for any other nation's designation.

                    Those were my thoughts also.

                      I haven't had a chance to see whether this is the case yet, but can you still base your aircraft out of cities other than your own? Often on a map with very little water it makes a real difference to have an airbase at a different border than the one you share with your enemy.

                        If you have an open borders agreement with them, yes you can. I do it sometimes.

                          But you have to be pay attention... if your enemy also has an open border agreement with the civ, your air units can die very quickly

                            There is, it's called the Fighter. Notice the penalty for attacking naval units with Bombers...

                              I'm talking about carrier based land strikers, like the A6. Slightly beefed up from fighter for bombing missions.
