What would you like to see in the expansion pack.

Cruise missiles which have an insane collateral damage/city defence bombardment value but are automatically used up in the attack. Firable from ships or cities. Range about that of a Bomber.

Fixed it for you.

[Vlad Antlerkov]

Needs more cowbell.

On that note, allowing the Worldbuilder to be run outside of the game would be nifty. (Unless this can be done already.) More documentation for the XML and Python stuff would be nice, as well.

ninja edit: And the obligatory "more civs and units plzkthx".

[Chemical Ollie]

Wow, now I can get my 1+ for posting here!

I agree that stacked combat with combined arms is a must in a real strategy game. Artillery invading cities?

You are lucky if tac nukes can affect things on an entire tile. Also, cruise missiles are supposed to be precise. Collateral damge != precise. In fact, it is the opposite.

1. 500% improvement on spying fun and spying impact.
2. improved leader personalities with clearer agendas, and putting more pressure, more leader specific dialogue on the ones there already
3. 4-8 new civs (Sweden with Karl XII and Gustav II Adolf and possibly a Viking king leader)
4. New trait(s) one which could center on spying advantage. Possibly also a "mad" leader trait.
5. 4-8 new leaders on the existing civs.
6. A little more on everything unit promotions etc. but only more of interesting stuff that add to gameplay value AND fun without being imbalanced.
7. Balancing civics (better.) Make multiplayer polls on everything to find out which choices diminate among the best players...
8. Leader specific units for some civs. For example, a Sweden civ with Karl XII or Gustav II Adolf would have Caroline horse riders as specific units and the Viking leader could have Berserker axemen.
English could have a leader with a improved Frigate unit or an improved Longbowman or Knight (under for example Richard the Lionhearted)
9. Aggressive A.I. leaders being tougher opponents to handle. I really miss being annoyed on them. They don't seem to do as well as the peaceful ones.

P.S. And if Sweden is in, please call it "Kingdom of Sweden" or something ancient sounding as just Sweden too much reminds of the modern peaceful state. And yes, we're still a Kingdom here, although a democratic one without much real power for the King.

Fighters/Jetfighters being able to sink ships (maybe, like I outlined in another thread, with an additional button for Air vs. Ship attacks [where fighters or destroyers have a greater chance to take the enemy planes down before they accomplish their mission, but the attacking planes have a chance to sink ships within the fleet {or even in an harbor} if they get through])

The game being able to remember what Civ I chose in single player and what name I gave my civ and my leader.

Being able to build railroads with (oil OR coal) AND iron

And more scenario making tools in general. Apparently the game is extremely moddable, but I found trying to make a scenario confusing/difficult. I don't like the WB at ALL.

There needs to be a naval equivlent to West Point. It seems odd that a company from Maryland would not include an Annapolis wonder.

[Arrian]

West Point works for ships too, though... I built it in a coastal city in AU101 and sure enough the ships I built came out with the extra XP...

In a recent game I built West Point and the Red Cross and the same city. It had about 3 coastal squares, a good amount of grasslands, coal, a bunch of other hills, and overall great production.

Nice combo for land and sea.

I'd like to

• Tarraforming
• Better (more powerful) Nukes
• Biological/Chemical Warfare
• More future techs that lead to new innovations. Nanotechnology, Quantum Computers, Genetic Engineering, etc. (Just take some of the Call To Power and Alpha Centauri techs and use those)
• Undersea Cities (done in a fashion where they are relevant unlike CTP II)
• More tile improvements (Ala the tiered improvments in the Call To Power Series. I LOVED the automated hydroponic farms and Mega Mines of that series! Penultimate, gigantic, works of technology and industrialization that allow unparraleled production!)
• Forts that can be built outside of your cultural boundaries and can expand them if garrisoned.
• Spies Planting Nukes
• More asymetric warfare capabilites.
• Ability to go against U.N. Decrees.
• Ability to preciseily control governors. (Something akin to CIV III)
• Ability to build tile improvments BESIDES roads outside of your cultural boundaries. (How many times have you been wishing you could get to fresh water without having to build a new city!)
• Ability to build tile improvements in the terrain of your allies if it does not destroy an existing improvement of their's.

That's what I would like to see.

[RAKKIR]

I forgot something.

Unit TRAINING would be great.

I know Barracks and West Point kinda already do that now, but being able to constantly improve (to a maximum level of course) by keeping it in a city with a certain improvment would be nice.

Like you could have a unit in a city and choose to EITHER fortify it, or TRAIN it.

[RAKKIR]

I should clarify that I mean ANY unit that moves into the city with a "training" improvement and stays there long enough gets bonuses. Not just if it was "built" there like is the case with barracks.
