Fail to see the connection between gameplay and graphics. Graphics are just a way to display gameplay, but both are independent in a strat game. But I agree about the gfx card needed.

Ridden for good. Made no sense. Promotion is more dynamic, lively. And you can have a mod with attack and defense values if you want. Which brings me to...

And, and, and... modding. The new Warlords patch (announced today) features some AI tweaks made by a fan (name : Blake). Feel the power of modding up to the high sphere of Firaxis !

You're a difficult man to please.

BTW, I'm quoting you just to have a bit of a debate, otherwise it's just a thread where everyone gives his answer and that's it.
