  • “In a way [my undertaking] is an entirely original science. In fact, I have not come across a discussion along these lines anywhere. I do not know if this is because people have been unaware of it…[but] perhaps [people] have written exhaustively on this topic, and their work did not reach us… The knowledge that has not come down to us is, after all, larger than the knowledge that has. Where are the sciences of the Persians…the Chaldaeans, the Syrians, the Babylonians…the Copts and their predecessors? The sciences of only one people, the Greeks, have come down to us…as for the sciences of others, nothing remains.”

    Ibn Khaldun, 1332-1406 (as translated by Rosenthal)










  • Was combining units an expansion? When I played it was only 1 military unit plus 1 civilian unit per tile (and up to four aerial units iirc).

    I thought the tactics could be fun, but I prefer the management aspects of civ and it got kinda exhausting moving large militaries.

    Stacks of doom also have big issues tho, ngl.

    Different topic: Another mechanic civ4 came kinda close to getting right was corporations (since they theoretically encouraged hogging/expropriating resources far in excess of what your civ needs), but I don’t think they quite worked out as well in practice. Not sure if there’s a good mod for that.
