I hope for a full diplomatic table, as for every other trade. Money, resources, military help, luxuries... In a way also cities (borders) are exchanged for gaining key votes.

damn, this is absolutely hilarious!

I want to play SMAC now! ... Wait a tick... Nothing is stopping me from doing so...


I hope the UN will allow you to choose which Civics force upon the other nations (if that is indeed an option) rather than having only certain ones. Because if the entire world adopted State Property except for a few nations, it wouldn't be realistic for there not to be a "everyone accept State Property" vote (again, if a vote like this exists at all), Especially if, say, the UN was built in Soviet Moscow.

Now this is the news I have been waiting for

[Eli]

yeah, I was nervous too. There's a lot more to talk about diplomacy (trade routes, embargoes, war plans, permanent alliances, etc.) but it just vanishes from one's mind on live radio!

War Plans?! :drool:

A SMAC-style U.N. - things keep getting better and better!

Yes I hope so too, and the news about the UN rocks !

[Guynemer]

I had been very, very, very cautiously optimistic about Civ4, but after some of the news that has recently come out, I have now gleefully pre-ordered.

[SirOsis]

Looks like I need to preorder this one.

[LordShiva]

Eh.. the game's over by the time the UN's built anyway...

[MarkG]

UN resolutions!

It's probably a debug version.

Aussie Lurker posts:" - A Naval unit can apparently halt all production coming to a city-from all sea squares-by placing itself in front of said city. They can also destroy sea-based tile improvements and prevent harvesting of sea-based resources (whales, fish, oil for instance). So navies are slightly more important, but still not enough IMO (unless there is still more stuff they aren't telling us-which is very likely)."




Where's the huge change ? Regarding the navy units: in Civ III, if at war, you could place a naval unit on sea city tile and that would stop that nation harvesting food, money and shields from that tile. You could also stop any sea trade to that city (naval blockade), so this isn't a new feature at all.

The only thing new is that naval units can actually destroy sea-tile improvements.

It'd be great If they could pirate trade routes à la CTP2.
