End game techs Increase the size of your Attachments

Does everyone feel these are balanced? To me, the missile shield is always too tempting to pass up. The one that I always get last is Global Prosperity- by that time in the game, I'm making tons of resources anyways, and the stealth units don't seem to be that great of an improvement over advanced flight units.

World Gov and AI are both pretty good, but I always go for missile shield first

I think it depends on what your opponent has. What if those dastardly germans have the missile shield, and are gunning for a wonder victory? Missile silos are useless. You better have those stealth bombers to get through the AA and take it out. You sure aren't getting a land army there in time.

Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

I think I'd still rather be able to instantly create units...by the end game I usually have so many resources I can buy whatever I need.

Certainly, it does depend on the game type.

missle sheild does rock, but AI is just so awesome.

if you get there first, get AI.

if they dont have a missle shield yet, you can nuke, and INSTANTLY CREATE ANOTHER.

Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

Another reason to get global prosperity is to go above the pop cap.

Missile shield is a must. I make a b-line for it. Nukes can really ruin a perfectionist's day.

Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Nukes are powerfull, but while you're waiting for your nukes to be build I've spend my resources on an actual army that's already levelling your towns

I like extra popcap and instant units, just because I'm a trashunit fan, superior numbers baby

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Trash units! yay! Reminds me of the old days of AoK with the halberdiers and (name I can't remember) spear throwers.

I always played as the turks and mixed that up a bit with Hussars... surprised a fair number of people when their spear throwers got caught by 20 hussars... heh heh heh.

Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

vs the AI on tough, by the time he gets nukes I have so much ressources already that I dont care if my farms are wiped.

As for end techs, I prefer World Govt, insta victories !
