I do like the changes. Then again I'm at that perfect spot where it barely effects me. This ends up being a flat out buff to any type of attack that isn't ground attack or espionage. There is now a reason to fear an enemy with a maxed out navy(hint: navy can destroy infrastructure 10% faster per day then air force, but at the cost of 50% more gas and munitions). At this point you need 1000 infrastructure on a city with 0% disease and crime to max out the military for that city, 1200 if your focusing on resource production.
Also, this is a HUGE buff to nukes. If you get hit by several nukes, your out of a large war for 10+ days unless you can keep your current military alive.
