Bit confoozed now.
Aside from missiles in Civ 4. I dont know of any other unit which lets say, is 3 tiles away from an enemy (e.g. lets say Archer Vs Warrior) and the archer can do a ranged attack 3 tiles away?
(Not saying an archer has ranged attack or can fire 3 tiles away but just giving an example).
You can't do this in civ 4.
You could do something similar to it in previous games.
It makes a 'comeback' and its viewed as some new improvement they have just come up with
Balls. They could have done any of this to IV, and the various expansions. Graphics don't look that impressive, not like when I first saw IV.
Enjoy being a cash cow!
