and roads can be built in 4000 b.c. this seems a bit early to me. I won't get into how a mine constructed in 4000 b.c has nearly the same capacity as a mine in 2000 a.d.

you can put 8 units on transports (I think- I haven't checked the rules). I'm guessing 8 units represents a ton of troops. Putting 8 tank divisions on a ship? seems high to me.
nuclear submarines. me thinks firaxis doesn't know their capabilities
cruisers? they don't exist?
helicopter carriers or light carriers. what the hell? too hard to program I guess.
mines? the explosive type. yeah they would suck, but why don't we have them? including sea mines.
crime? does it not exist? what about prostitution?
coups? yeah they would be real frustrating
assasination attempts? I want people shooting at me.
asylum? more diplomatic options- although I admit I have no idea how this would work
prisoners of war? yes we need them
casualties and supply lines? maybe
migrations and emigration/immigration: sure this would be better than cultural flips
mind control: hey maybe as a future tech
communications realism? maybe wouldn't be practical in this game.
plagues: why are there none?
natural disasters: this simulated earth is just too perfectComment

How about that Mechanized infantry always fight inside thier APCs?
How about that tac nukes and cruise missles can travel over land without transport trucks or whatever.
How about that "americans" exist in 4000bc?
How about that the science printing press doesn't DO anything? (Like increase library sci development or whatever, considering it was one of the most important nonmilitary sciences since the creation of writing?)
How about that a leader can't attack a leader (tooth and nail?)

Regular Chariots are completely useless as they have no combat advantage over foot soldiers. Yes, yes, I am aware of the "retreat" thing. But I still haven't downloaded the 1.17f patch, and my horseys don't always run away. I think I have 1.07f.
I disliked the chariots in Civ II as well.Comment

Weren't horses introduced into the Americas in the 1500s? Anybody remember that Far Side cartoon that spoofed that?Originally posted by kailhun
Why do the Iroquois ride around in horses at the beginning of the game?
They developed it and because unlike on this Earth, on your map they have access to horses.

Kabul, capital and largest city of Afghanistan. It lies along the Kabul River at an elevation of about 5,900 feet (1,800 m) in the east-central part of the country. *
Cities in Nepal? Depends what you mean by major city, I suppose. Nepal's capital is Kathamandu, near the confluence of the Baghmati and Vishnumati rivers. *
Fact is, nearly all major cities were founded on rivers (except San Francisco).
