Here is a quick question for all you Civ players...

What do you think about the stack of doom? Do you believe they got rid of it right by only allowing one military unit per tile in Civ 5? I sort of miss the stack of doom but there really wasn't too much strategy involved in using them. 

My favorite use of stack of doom was Barbarossa Civ 3 user made scenario.  My friend and I (I believe this to be proper grammar even though I prefer saying my friend and me) played the Barbarossa Civ 3 scenario and we used stack of doom (mainly my friend since he was the Germans) and it was pure chaos.  It was pretty funny that I was drafting troops (another thing I miss from Civ 3) just to cover my roads / rails from his Luftwaffe .  Man that scenario was pretty freaking awesome...  Wish we finished the game but I believe I stopped the madness and admitted early defeat. 

I think it would of been better to either


A) Limit the number of stacks based on a size modifier.

B) Allow as many units as possible, but have a law of diminishing returns for having so many units in one square.  The first units to attack can't do as much damage because they don't have as much room and can't manuever as well.
