No, I think 4 is fine; remember that it has 30 hit points, so it really is 
quite powerfull. Also, the destroyer, which comes after the point where we 
inserted the destroyer, only has 4 attack.
So maybe it will not win every time against a coastal defence, but nether 
should it

Nobody, but some people seem to value civ 2 compatability very high, and 
having this makes it possible to tell them to go use it when they complain :)
