I agree bro. I've found Leonardo's Workshop to be a must have for either
defensive or offensive. Even upgrading Tanks to Modern Armor. I also like
to run with a good amount of gold in reserve. Last night, although I was
behind the other Civs scientifically, I was able to upgrade many of soldier
units to infantry and any aggressive posturing dissolved quickly. In a
fortified position, those infantry units can take a beating.
