Pretty sure this was after Civ 1, when you'd lose a battleship to a spearman surprisingly often. Been a while since I've played Civ 2, don't think there was the concept of cumulative damage, yet, but there was by Civ 3. Definitely seems "fairer". Sure a spearman can possibly damage a battleship, but unlikely to destroy one.

Also, it's Sid Meier.

I can't remember which Civ it was, but I remember he was talking about an early one. I'd love to find that video again.

(Also, fixed my post. Thanks)
