So what do we know about Civ IV so far?

[Heresson]

Corruption isn't all that annoying too.
Cities revolting are annoying - shall we delete that feature too?

[Apocalypse]

Revolts aren't annoying, especially if there ends up being some grey area in between revolting and not revolting. And revolts and more realistic than the corruption system in place in Civ2 and 3.

[Heresson]

No it isn't

[Apocalypse]

Why isn't it?

[Heresson]

Why is it?

[Apocalypse]

Because the way corruption works in real life has nothing to do with relation to the capital and frequently capitals are some of the more corrupt areas of the country.

[Heresson]

it's not quite like that. perhaps "corruption" is a bad name, but the point was that indeed, the further from the capitol, the more founds was being taken by local authorities, the less profitable the province was.
Anyway, that's the only thing except for conquest that makes moving the capital have sense

[Apocalypse]

Yeah, but it doesn't carry as well into modern times. And far away cities still produced a lot better than they do in Civ.

[Heresson]

Oh, it is annoying that I have to build courthouses everywhere, but it's not that bad to eliminate this feature completely

[Apocalypse]

Even with Courthouses, it's still hard. And it can be difficult to build courthouses because of corruption too.

[Roman]

I like the concept of pollution, but I dislike its implementation in Civ III. Instead of suddenly appearing in various squares, pollution should stay in the cities and cause unhappiness. It could also decrease population growth and still cause global warming.

Corruption/Waste is fine as it is, although more cities and greater distances should be supported before serious corruption begins to set in, but this is modifiable in any case, so leaving corruption/waste exactly as it is now would be perfectly OK.

Why they want to remove rioting and maintanance from the game is completely beyond me.

GAME SHOULD BE HARD

Pollution causing unhappiness, I don't like that idea

[Apocalypse]

They can make it difficult in other ways.

*Yawn*


Remove some features, add some features, etc

So what's the big deal?


Depth, depth is the key.
