	Has anybody ever tried simplified combat??? Inflate your Upload Space

after a few years playing civ and civ2 I decided to try the simplified combat and I don't like at all and also I don't see the point.
Does anybody know why it is there???
What is the point??

Its the Civ1 system, without HP or FP. Its for people who liked the civ1 combat.

Without HP and FP it is possible to conquer far faster, 1 tank can take out a whole city of riflemen for example.

I think the old system is more favourable to the AI.

I've done it once. Partly out of nostalgia to Civ I, and partly because I was starting a game on a very islandy map. The advantage is, that your ships will either sink after a battle, or win and be able to cruise along at top speed. How I hate it when one of your ships sustains heavy damage, and then has to wait a dozen turns or so somewhere at the North-pole or wherever before it can continue at full speed! IMHO, the simplified combat has its use in a heavy naval-based game, otherwise it is best left unused. The hitpoints system is much more realistic.

At first i thought the new system sucked when i changed from civ to civ2, but then i forgot how it used to be and embraced what it is, now i can't stand how it was and just play it as it is!!!! does that make sense? or am i waffling again... Gazes off into space..

I actually played the orignal about a month ago, i found it on the internet (whoops, am i allowed to say that out loud???) but i didn't get more than about 2000 years before i got fed up with the way it played. Maybe i'll give it a proper go one time for nostalgias sake, or whatever!!!

When you start a game one of the options is customize rules. If you select that you can check simplified combat.
