Could you test it out Kata?
Simply by putting a city with some def bonuses on the map, a phalanx in it and an enemy city with some attacker nearby.
You should be able to see the difference if defensive bonus is big.-- What history has taught us is that people do not learn from history.

It really doesn't matter. The in-unit these days is axemen, who can attack most things and defend against everything.Comment

I think you guys are too win-centered and conservative in the strategies you are trying to fit greeks into.
I think the civs are a bit better balanced than that and I also think greeks certainly have some strenght if played properly.
Want an example?

I sure gonna check this "no defensive bonusses" thing out.
Guess what civ I'm playing tonight.
And for the axeman being overpowered: Crossbow!Comment

I suspect Sparta was being played by some very good players, something in short supply for Civ4. That and I hear pod results were good
Whats wrong with being win-centric
Unfortunately, thats like sending a tank to beat up a rifleman. Its a wrong era unit and not a counter that can remotely be relied on.Originally posted by GeoModder

Sparta@ACDG3 ) why the S won...not because of a good faction, and not entirely luck.

assuming the S\et all release their faction pass of course but i think i could put up a good argument for it now even without inside data on their faction,although that would help alotWhen the game is finished and its OK to discuss info, i can PROVE(only to you ) why the S won...not because of a good faction, and not entirely luck.

I never said win-centrism is bad, I sad 'you are being too win-centric', which basically means 'win uber alles' which I don't like.-- What history has taught us is that people do not learn from history.

Okay, Greeks are crap by your thoughts.
Romans?
Alternatively each of you could post 3 factions he would take in oder of priority and we could get to some consensus.-- What history has taught us is that people do not learn from history.

I like Romans because of Caesar's expansive/organised trait which encourages creation of a large empire, in both horizontal and vertical sense. Cheaper granaries and reduced upkeep.

I can't believe SMACers swaying so far from their (Olympic) roots.

I guess it isn't possible to rename your civ in Civ4? That way which civ we pick wouldn't matter at all for roleplay purposes.Comment
