Civ 1 was a fun game -- as was the original simcity for the time when it came out.

I love that the AI cannot stack 1000 level 1 warriors together and take out my city defended by tanks, helios and mobile infantry anymore. That was a nice change...



It is not too far a stretch to say that outnumbered 1,000,000 to ~5,000 (assume each unit has approximately 1,000 men), that modern units could fall to trained warriors with simple weapons. As far as realism goes there were many things worse than this..

Mangler had an accident on the way home from the liquor store. He was run off the road and crashed into a woman's clinic. It was one giant Pabst smear.
