New Civ-specific ability: shepherd

[Max Sinister]

I think there would be nothing to micromanage. You can produce more - but from time to time, fertile spoil will turn into deserts. As happened in real history. (And in the Third World today even more so.)

Very little micromanagement -Occasionally a tie would go dead and require repair.

There are certainly plenty of proposals that decrease micromanagent greatly, the computer decides tiles that would be used as ctp2, using PV to improve tiles as ctp2, puppet states where you cede your build choices to your vassal etc.

How about a New Zealand civ with the trait "Sheep ********." The civ would get an extra happy face in every city that had a sheep resource tile in its borders.

Yeah, sheep would definately keep you warm at night.

Oh ok, I think I misunderstood; I was thinking along the lines of Civ2 with irrigation and farmland. Regardless, though, I still do not like the idea. Cities grow quick enough as is letting alone increasing food output from irrigation.


Also, what is PV? Public Vorks?

The new desserts could be stored in a database, so that a player could terraform them at his convience, without having to develop a list of new deserts himself.
