That should be people if go for more GAs

Finally, all Great People can be used to trigger extra golden ages for your Civilization, with each subsequent golden age requiring more Great People.

you can't send out assassins? shoot down yamamoto's plane? The original muslim assassins? I can't bungle an attempt to kill Castro as the Dulles brothers?

ICS will always work in civ games.
Russia will always be stronger then Luxembourg.

The question is if ICS will be the one and only way to win the game. Or if someone with a large empire still can screw up and be behind in the tech tree.

But normally a person with a large empire should be in advantage to someone with a smaller empire.

I'm so going to save this post and quote it come 6 months when I'm proved right.

What if you're not right? (Wondering about the chances of getting you to eat a piece of the box or something? Hey, it worked for Yin!) Just how confident are you in this assertion?

I like these great people already



[q=ICGames]In addition, having cities that have converted to your state religion can give you monetary and happiness bonuses. You can also get some line of sight benefits, and provide yet another interesting decision in a game already filled with interesting decisions.[/q]


Wasn't this idea scrapped? Or did they add it again?

[Nikolai]

It was, but the quote seems to suggest a compromise, don't it? It says some line of sight bonus after all.

[alva]

At which point was it scrapped and why?

Yeah, Russia is huge territory where half of it is in a horrible state, Luxembourg is a small and efficient territory with a good overall level .

I don't remember right now, but I think the scrapping was mentioned early this summer. I think it was because it was too unbalancing. It was said that it could come back though.

Firaxis has been playing the game for 2 years, so I guess they know best what will keep the game ballanced, but I love this idea. I really want some way of gathering intelligence on other nations. I have always wished the demographics screen provided the demographics for all nations.
