I've got to say that the combat system is just as ballanced as in civ2 , the only thing is that a space marine unit can be killed in a one on one battle with a musketeer which is odd, on the other hand an unpatched civ2 has the same problem with combat between new and obsolete units so there'll probably be some patch for this in time. anyway having played civ2 a lot, and having great expectations about ctp,..all i can say is that it sure lived up to my expectations!
I was amazed while reading this, people who state they 'can get up and walk away from it' well i've been playing civ2 and really liked it, now im playing the w95 version (as i found out about the Linux version when i had the game for 3 days)of Civ ctp and i think its way better, all good elements from civ2 are present and the interface is more convinient, you dont have to manually move your units across the globe , you can work with building queue's which is very handy, and well i havent been able to 'get up and walk away' from it , even more as i had with civ2, going on to 3000 ad is pretty cool too, i thought civ2 was too short a timespan. and the new features like underwater/space cities is fun as well, space btw adds a whole different aproach to conquering the world military, there is no movement cost in space and you can drop your units from space to all over the map!:) that makes for a true blitzkrieg..
