Stacks of doom are worse than 1UPT, but not every player experiences it that way. Joining units is a decent middle ground. The new mechanic (commanders) does not get this right in my opinion.
- _Algernon_ 2y agoDisagree. Stacks can easily be moved as if they are a single unit. 1UPT requires micromanaging each unit individually. Also it is fun to scorch an enemy tank with 100 kamikaze warriors.
- lisnake 2y agoAnd I've seen videos from Ukraine war where tanks get destroyed by single drone, so it's not that far-fetched.
- NoboruWataya 2y agoWhat I prefer about 1UPT is that it forces you to think more deeply about the location of your battles and the terrain you're fighting in. Moving a large army though a narrow mountain pass, for example, is a lot more difficult, as it should be. I also find it aesthetically better to see big, sprawling battlefields. Looks very epic. I agree the trade-off is that it can be quite tedious to move large armies a long distance.
- Jensson 2y agoProblem with 1UPT is that the AI doesn't do any of that, making wars trivial. That detracts from the rest of the civ experience since wars are no longer about power but unit movement.
- lupusreal 2y agoTo me, the experience of two huge murderballs endlessly chipping away at each other turn after turn has a way of emphasizing the brutality and futility of war. This is lost in Civ 5.
