Despite the many strengths of a spearman against modern armour, they can't really put up much of a fight (most times!).


... and settlers put up even less of one.

Just watch out for those damned medieval infantry! They'll swing their mighty uranium-tipped morning stars and turn your tank's armor plate into so much aluminum foil!

Been playing Civ since the prehistoric days, and not since Civ II have I managed/had the wherewithal to take over the whole world (most of the time, I win by domination).


Well, if you have domination turned on, it gets extremely difficult (though not impossible, I suppose) to knock out all the other civs without taking over 75% of the world first.

Ah. Not if, in the final stages of your world war, you decide to slash and burn your way through your rivals' towns, rather than take them over.

Lots of prime real estate for the picking, but when your cities are being overrun by Modern Armor, it gets a little pointless to be cranking out settlers.

Congrats and I never have sent a spear man to do a marine's job but if it works I'll try it or maybe it is just becouse the spearman is on a city. I alwys thought the more advanced the better such as a vs a

The average spearmen is a styone age unit after all. I assume that most of the time, the spearmen try to run away and get crushed by the tanks. It would take a very brave and intelligent spearman to use the above strategy on the tanks


Take in mind the information evolution theory: information gets past on. This means that when a spearman once successfully defeats a Modern Armor, it would tell all its spearman-friends how to blow up a tank. In that case, whenever you'd attack a spearman, I would save and load...

In real they would never sends heavy armor into action without any infantry alongside with them, in that case the spearman can never crawl up a tank without catching lead.  

Maybe the spearman could destroy 1 or 3 panzers if there lucky.. They would be better of surrendering.
