Country splitting

[Ramsses]

I loved the game concept in Civ II that would split a country into two parts when you captured the capital city of a nation. This would happen if there were less than 7 nations alive.

But, is it just me, or doesn't Civ IV has this concept?

Civ4 does not have this.

I hated the concept.
It's way too easy, just grab the capital and suddenly you have 2 small enemies instead of one big one.

Of course the concept needed some changes, but using propaganda or something like that would be a cool concept to let a (small) part of a country declaring independance.

its true that civs2 method was bad but they should make it so that theres other ways of dividing the empire in two or more parts, the 1 i personally like the most is civil war. they sould add this to the game or some1 should make a mod, if they do it ill download it

A civil concept like that would be cool indeed. Just when a group of people/cities don't like your government, they will rise up in resistance.

[Robert]

The only idea that would make the idea cool, imho, would be that ie. if I would conquer a civ totally, that the cities of that civ could revolt 500 years later, since they're a different racial group in my empire.

Such a revolution would only occur if I wouldn't upgrade their cities, or their cities aren't as healthy or happy as my other cities. Thus: if they're not happy being a part of my empire.

One of my fondest memories in Civ II was when my own empire split in two. I had been running away with the game... up until then.

There's actually a thread already on exactly this:
