    This also helps to make Despotism, Monarchy, and Republic forms of government more viable later into the game, without the loss of too much food production. More food was one of the main reasons I would switch to the newest available government in Civ2 - now I can really weigh my options, and factor in drafting units, war weariness, etc.

    • What's the stats for the regular Panzer. The 16,8,3 is for the German UU Panzer.

      • From the city view shot it would appear that some tiles can produce over 3 food with irrigation. Mountains even without mines now produce some commerce and more then one shield, this should balance out not being to irrigate all cities. These changes are looking great.

          Tha Panzer IS the one and only UU. I believe the Panzer replaces light armor but I'm not sure of the stats on this unit.

            William Henry Harrison
            Dwight Eisenhower
            Richard Montgomery
            Nat Turner
            "Stonewall" Jackson (Thomas J. Jackson)
            Benjamin Rush
            Alexander Hamilton
            Anybody home in there?!

            • But hell, as long as Lee was on the table anyway...

              Nat Turner is better defined as a murderer than a leader.

              Alexander Hamilton was Washington's second in command but he never fired a shot in anger.

              Tons of crappy choices made my list

              Edit:: D'oh! I screwed that up. General Horatio Gates was the one whom suffered from so much cowardice that he fled a battle and was last seen buying a horse 500 miles from the side. Too many damn Generals to remember.

                How do Monarchy and Republic affect food in Civ2?

                  Allows you to have more than 2 food per tile. All goverments had this benefit except Despotism and Anarchy if you would count that as a goverment.

                      That list is garbage.
                      "Stonewall" Jackson was a confederate
                      Alexander Hamilton was not a general or a soldger
                      Nat Turner was an insane person who murdered inocent wemen and children

                        Uh... Hamilton WAS a soldier. Washington's second in command (was a Colonel, I believe). Did a rearguard delaying action while Washington was retreating over the Raritan River (in NJ).

                        Jackson was a Confederate, but Confed culture is part of American.

                        • Anyone else notice that in the Military Screen, that you have the ability to upgrade units?
                          Damn!

                          This game keeps on getting better and better

                          • On the City Build Requests screen, the last item on the list is "Wealth". Given that it only takes one turn to build and by the name, this must be the Civ 3 version of Capitalization. I believe that this is new info and was debated on another thread.

                            I cannot believe how cool this game is going to be. They have thought of everything. I especially like the new requirement for a fresh water source. Makes ancient city building much more realistic as most major ancient cities were built on rivers. There are so many details to digest in every decision. I cannot wait to play.

                            • Alexander Hamilton was a military leader?
                              Considering the "Great Leaders" can be used by non-military players strictly to complete production, I'd say having a non-military Great Leader would be just fine.
