Archer attacks missile

In the review is say that the cruise missile stopped at an open tile. How can it do that??????

I thought missiles only 'moved' from cities/subs to attack, they can never be attacked in flight!!!!

Unless someone can give me a reason not to I think this 'reviewer' missed something (or a lot of things).

Since I started this thread, it's only etiquette to say that I won't be answering any more posts in it. It speaks for itself. And since it's a 99% certainty I won't be buying Civ3 (if at all) until the Gold Edition ... and only then if it has proven itself to be an exceptional game.

So as not to seem rude: Feel free to direct things my way, but I won't be answering.

I think that missles can be moved on land (with one or several movemnt points), and that they have defense bonus of 1 or 0, so I think that some barbarian army CAN hijack one "mobile" missle silo, easily.

Now letts see, Swordsmen vs Mech. Inf.:
-Sw. attack M. Inf. 3/(18+3)=1/7 (14% hitting 1hp):

-M. Inf. attack Sw. 12/(12+3)=0.8 (80% hitting 1hp)
so once in 5 attacks you will lost one hp,

Concluson: I seames to me that maybe a Veretan or Elite Obsolete units, can hurat a modern unexpirienced unit.

Maybe that's what was happen in the review.

The whole sad truth is there. It's just about every horrid thing I could NOT want in Civ3.

And Korn: Sorry, bro. Not only is MAD *missing* from this game, nuclear attacks are just another form of attack.

*sigh*

So much lost time on the List and this forum. Hell.

For crying out loud, Yin, stop acting like a bozo. All I can see is you are grasping at certain weaknesses and blow them out of proportions like a drowning man grasping at straws. All that from a half-baked review, too.

Sheeh, get a grip.

Too bad they didn't archive the original SMAC forums. I think you would notice a definite trend.

Anyway, there is definitely some gross exaggeration of the negative information going on here. Considering that the "reviews" so far have given Civ3 very high scores, it seems daft to play up the negatives like this. Be that as it may, I'm not one to trust most review sites anyway - I have no history with the reviewers. One exception is Bob over at cgonline, and his comments have been mostly positive so far. He's been spot on in the past with games that interest me.

I'm looking forward to playing the game tonight so I can form my own opinions.

And im looking forward to your review of the game
If you could, would you mind trying to replicate the 'bad' features the reviewer meantioned, such as the missile being stuck and attacked, or mech-inf being swatted by legions. Im interested to see just how that missile was stuck in the open, whether he moved it out of its operating range, or what.

Thanks
