    Why is France a Civ.?

  • #2
    One of my favorite topics. It doesn't look likely.
    "And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man." -- JFK Inaugural, 1961
    "Extremism in the defense of liberty is not a vice." -- Barry Goldwater, 1964 GOP Nomination acceptance speech (not George W. Bush 40 years later...)

    2008 Presidential Candidate (for what its worth)

      Bah! The most tragic, interesting events of human history have always been civil wars. I do not see the difficulty of including them seamlessly into the game.

        I'd like to see it tied into corruption and/or unhappiness rather than the loss of a capital. (and perhaps modified by your government type)

          That or random event. Perhaps they could involve the other of the two leaders that you did not choose?

            DEFINITELY NOT a random event. The chance of a civil war occuring should definitely be tied to things like empire size, health and happiness-as well as such things as Civics and Religion. Culture, foreign nationals and war weariness should also tie into the chance of Civil War-as well as losing your capital (though NEVER the latter by itself!)
            One point though, is that it should be MUCH easier to manage the happiness and health of your empire AT the empire level-so that trying to minimize or prevent a civil war does not become an exercise in Micromanagement-but more of an intriguing 'Strategic Level' exercise !

              It would be a good use for that second leader head.

                Y'know the funny thing... anyone remember in Civ. 2 - they did try to implement Civil War - where a Civ would end up splitting in two.

                    True. This subject does come up alot.

                      It's one of a dozen or so that the Settlers start threads on all the time.

                        Indeed, this was discussed just a few days ago. It just dropped to page 2 yesterday or so. You're more than welcome to continue this discussion, but please do so in the old thread (see Kuci's post for the link).
