this combat system has to **GO**

[aaglo]

Well, I see this.

Maybe your settings aren't same as mine. Perhaps the forum style affects on this...

[edit]: yep, I tried it. You propably have a Light forum style setting, there's no spell check button.
I use Default-special. It has the spell checking button.

[notyoueither]

Don't argue with the Finns. Bad plan to argue with the silly Finns.

If they are willing to stand up in your face, you are most likely incorrect in your interpretation of the facts...

[aaglo]

Yep
You better just argue with the smart honkers.

[notyoueither]

honkers?

Don't argue with geese?

Not arguing, mind you...

[aaglo]

ewwww... forget it, NYE.

addon: just hit the spellcheck button - it gives me a pop-up whcih reads: [small]Due to the current advertising climate, SpellChecker.net no longer offers a banner supported service. Webmasters: click here to sign up for the paid version of the SpellChecker.net system.[/small] so I still have no spellcheck.

[aaglo]

Well... you win some, you lose some...

I don’t like the idea that you need resources to produce your units. In the real world resources are abundant. Even the smallest countries have almost all the resources they need and the ones they don’t have they can easily acquire by trade.

The availability of strategic resources in the modern world is due to the strong global trading network. This is the results of several wars over resources that have guaranteed availability of these resources. It has not always been that way, nor is there any guarantee it will stay that way.

- Japan has no natural sources of oil or rubber. The Allies cut off their trade in these resources during the 1930's. The Japanese considered this an act of war and attacked. This is considered one important cause of WWII.
- Rome invaded Britain, in large part to acquire the Tin mines. Tin was even more important during the Bronze Age.
- The Confederacy was reduced to using urine for the manufacture of Gunpowder due to a lack of Saltpeter.
- After WWI, France exerted various levels of political control of the Ruhr, a major German coal and industrial region.
- Ancient Egypt had no wood. Egypt had to maintain good relations with or friendly political relations with Lebanon.
- The U.S. wrested control of the West from Mexico largely because of the Gold and Silver there.
- When Kuwait was invaded, the West intervened because of a strategic resource, oil. When war broke out in sub-Saharan Africa -- even to the point of genocide -- the West stood by. No strategic resources.

I think that resources should be in the game and they should be worth fighting for but not by being a prerequisite for unit production. They should only change the “price” of the units. That is if a civ has a lot of resources it will have higher productivity and will produce more units than a country with fewer resources.

In the game you are allowed to trade for resources. During war there are not enough resource to do every thing, even in USA, there was shortages. Many units today can not be built in many countries with out getting imported goods. It really just added another challenge to the game. Any way if it is a bother you can created random maps and put the desired resources inplace and make them so they do not go away.

Last time I tried the spell check (last week) it was disabled.

[Sir Og]

Zachriel: I think that even in ancient times there was an adequate trade network that distributed the goods. And in the examples you gave each country was actually able to build a significant amount of the units that need those resources even though they didn’t have deposits of the resource on their territory.
That’s why I think that you should always be able to build any unit but if you don’t have the resource it should be more expensive maybe ( like prototypes in SMAC).
