    "You are one of the cheerleaders for this wasting of time and the wasting of lives. Do you feel any remorse for having contributed to this "culture of death?" Of course not. Hey, let's all play MORE games, and ignore all the really productive things to do with our lives.
    Let's pretend to be shocked that a gamer might descend into deeper depression, as his gamer "buds," knowing he was killing himself, couldn't figure out how to call 911 themselves for him. That would have involved leaving their computers I guess."

      I'd hope the question would arise only after the unit is actually next to border, not when it's few years travel from the border...

            Actually, I disagree with this. I would rather not waste the years (turns) sending a missionary somewhere where it cannot do its job. If I am expecting to somehow arrange open borders by the time the missionary gets to the border, then the thing to do is to move the missionary up to the border and then try to cross the line.

            I am, however, highly in favor of the idea of changing the prompts. Something along the lines of...

            How dare they deny our sacred mission? (Declare War)
            We'll let it slide this time. (Cancel Order)

            These would be the prompts if the unit was a missionary. Otherwise, the first line could be...

            How dare they delay our manifest destiny? (Declare War)

            Actually, that last line could be used for both units. Either way, humor and clarity together is a good goal.

            You don't understand.

              I´m not so sure. Even if the intention to cross the border is a preparation to war, the actual declaration shouldn´t come until your troops or missionary is right on the border. There´s no advantage in giving the enemy a heads up long before you actually arrive. But the easy solution to this is of course to send your unit to a point just outside your enemys borders. Then you can spring the surprise...

                I would love to be able to see their faces as they suddenly see the one man army of the missionary enter their territory as the first act of war. I'm sure they'd be terrified.

                      Entering [...] land will trigger WAR!
                      The thing is my unit wasn't entering Mongolian land and won't be in a few decades.

                      This should be changed so that it only comes up when one of my units which is not a spy, sub or caravel is about to actually enter territory of another nation.

                        There is no actual difference between the two:

                        1. Sending your missionary just outside of somebody's border, then try to get an Open Borders agreement.

                        2. Sending him straight in, and remember to secure an Open Borders agreement before you accidentally trigger a war.

                        So I don't see why the program stupidly assuming that you want to declare war - with a missionary no less

                          Maybe just move him to your side of the border until you arrange open borders?

                            That is what I do. I can't see what the problem is UR, I interpreted the question as it obviously was meant to be when I came over this the first time.

                              Maybe the problem isn't with the game.

                                I kinda agree with your sentiment, but you did order the unit to enter AI controlled territory -- which requires an open border, or a declaration of war.

                                It could be handled better though.
