However if the mech were to be able to crouch down so that its legs were folded underneath it, then this would essentially mimic the low profile of a tank or APC. Its because the farther up you stick your head the more likely it will get chopped off. There's a reason a weapon's system like a tank is built low to the ground, as low to the ground as is practical, and with sloped armor which is impossible on a large metal monster silhouetted against the sky. It does not belong in a serious game like Civ, per Edited Augby Lancer You put one of those metal monsters towering above a modern battlefield and they will be trash before you can say 'give me a ****in break' and just after you say "that was easy!" The kind of guys that left everything behind and made history, whether it was a Roman Legionary, a Babylonian Bowman, or a guy on the frontier of freedom in Korea. Civ is more significant than that, it appeals on a more practical basis to a bunch that reads books on something called "history", or "war" which is best represented by guys that served, wherever they served. Some guys go for those large mounds of silicon on a girl, or large stupido macho machines on a battlefield, but I'm not one of them. They are there for show, like lipstick on a cheap blond, but they are not real, like her breasts. These ultra cool metal monsters are impractical girly things. It was a gas, but it had no basis in reality, and it doesn't belong in Civ any more than I belong in the cosmetics section of my local superstore.

I enjoyed Mechwarrior II and shooting stuff at the other guy's impossible monster from my impossible big mechanical metal monstrosity. These things, mechwarriors, are kinda fun in a shooter. Those moments gave us those baggy shorts that show your butt crack, spray paint 'art', and "boy bands". This appears to be something a kid cooked up in a 'wouldn't it be cool if' moment.
