Civ 4 - the list of ideas for Firaxis

[Stefu]

Too much time has passed. Furthermore, many ideas will be inspired by the changes to the series that Civ 3 introduced, so the old list is just that: Old

However, we should at least go through The List and see what proposals could be reused. At least go through the Essential Civ3 List - many good proposals in there that went unheeded.

Hmmm - this will require some thought. I like the early comments about the combat system from CtP.

But I think the first thing I would ask for is that Asmodean's avatar be one of the leader heads.

Yeah...that'd be nice, eh?

Its called Windows for a reason

I dont know if anyone has mentioned it yet, but being able to play Civ in a window would be nice.

[Maquiladora]

I agree, its one of the things that makes civ2 so addictive to play, and easy to hide at work.

What I'd like in Civ4:

A new era

This thread was before PTW's time though, but still valid

sorry about posting this here too, but I don't want it to get lost and couldn't figure out where to put it:

I would also suggest adding air capacity to the game... basically designating air routes for supplies in the game.
For example: Armor Units in Washington can be put onto a Cargo Plain and flown to the front in Tripoli, or something of that sort.

[Frozzy]

I don't know where to put this so...

I'd like to have the option to create civs out of your own civ. So if your nation becomes too rowdy, you can seperate a part of civ and rebuild your nation.

[DarkCloud]

Frozzy, I'll take that and add it to the Civilizations section... It's an intriguing idea, although I don't know how much use it will really get... why would someone want to give up part of their nation unless they were going for space victory? or some sort of non-size, non-combat victory?

[Frozzy]

If your Civ is on the verge of revolting against you, you can just cut off the rowdy cities so you can work on making the ones you have better.

[DarkCloud]

I suppose that makes sense.

[Nikolai]

If we have some kind of vassal feature in Civ4, the newly created civ should be that. After all, they have been given their independence by you, right? If there is no vassal feature, the new civ should at least have very good relations to you for a long time, and be very forthcoming to all oyur proposals.

[Myrddin]

Maybe not - how friendly are the ex Soviet states to Russia?

[DarkCloud]

Actually, many of them are very friendly toward russia and are moving toward an economic union with mother russia... look at the Asian-SSR states for examples of that, Myrddin.

[Nikolai]

Well, firstly the ex Soviet states didn't get out of the union with the motherland's blessing... And think of it; If a country is granted independence with the motherland's blessing, don't you think they'd be gratefull?
