Colosseum is still a normal bulding insted of a wonder (strange since it's farmore complex than a piramid).Colosseum equals as a generic sports arena in civ. Thats why it's a normal building...
Does Civ4 suffer as badly as Civ3 from that "Middle Age Knight vs. Modern Armor = Knight wins" syndrome? Really, in Civ3, unmodded, my M1A2's seemed good four about 2 or 3 knights before they bit the dust. And I won't get into the whole "spearmen vs. tank = OMGWTF" phenomena...

You do realize that the Circus Maximus != the Colloseum, right?Colosseum is still a normal bulding insted of a wonder (strange since it's farmore complex than a piramid).Colosseum equals as a generic sports arena in civ. Thats why it's a normal building...
A Colloseum is a arcitechtual wonder. I was doing a seminar on roman architechture and it's sheer complexity is stuning.
the Circus Maximus is a prime example of it - tens of thousands of tons of stones in a eliptical shape held on pillars and arches - each storage in a different style, each wth 80 outside arches and 80 statues.
A piramid is a simpla basic shape - there's nothing complex about it. The only issue was hauling the huge stone blocks.
If anything, a colloseum should have increased your chances at generating a great Engineer (I'll fix that). Come to think of that, the roman Praetorian unit is allso badly done..I just gave it the cover promotion as a starter and of course, upped it's price a bit.. And the battleships firpower and intercept chance :D
Most people refer to it that way.None of those three have anything to do with each other with the exception of them all being built by Romans. An ampitheatre is just a type of theatre, the Colloseum was a large circular arena (it's the most famous of its kind, though many others were built), and the Circus Maximus was an elliptical stadium for chariot racing. You don't really know your Roman history at all.
Amphitethre, Colloseum, Circus Maximus...whatever gets the point across...
I do.. I did a seminar on Roman architecture. I know what is what.
But the average joe thinks all 3 are the same, so I'm not gonna lose time setting it apart. (and in game it IS the colosseum)

You're completely missing the point. There's no reason for it to be a wonder, primarily for game balance but also because it's called a Colosseum in name only. If you look at it in the modern era, it's just a football stadium.
FEAR runs beautifully on a GF7800GTX. It pretty much sucked on an X800XT (last gen tech; what do you expect?) even at Medium detail, but on the GeForce I can push every graphics setting right up to the maximum on 1280x1024.
That graphics card is sweet. Go buy one. Now.
The Pyramid in Civ III gives a grainary to all continent cities, which thereby increases the growth rate of your civilization. What such benefit would a Colosseum wonder grant it's builder?
Why is Magellan's Voyage something you can build? That seems a bit out of place, doesn't it? Or perhaps SETI, of which many such programs exist. And so on and so forth. The Civ games are games and the way they are set up and balanced was carefully considered. You shouldn't throw that out just because you think "that should have been a wonder" without stopping to think about what purpose it serves in terms of the game itself.
Generally, real horror games - like Silent Hill - don't rely on such cheap tactics.Thats right! But I was talking about action games.

In civ 4 the pyramid gives you acess to all government civs and increases the chance of generating a great engineer. (+3% i think)
I set up the Colosseum to give a little happines and increase the chance of an engineer (+5%)
Like I said, the +2 culture of the orginal colosseum is totaly pitifull and the change isn't even felt in the game...
I cna put these modification for download if you fdon't belive me (3 XML files)
No, that's just games like Doom 3 which don't really deserve to be in the genre at all. They're like the gaming equivalent of slasher films (which, incidentally, I don't regard as horror films). Boo tactics != horror.
Generally, real horror games - like Silent Hill - don't rely on such cheap tactics.
