  • A New Trait?

    Suppose there were to be a new Civ trait in Civ4. What would you want it to do? What would you call it?

    My personal preference is "Zealous."
    Units receive free Shock promotion; +1 happiness, culture from religious buildings.

    What are your ideas?

    I have 2 ideas. (the second is less likely)

    clever (maybe sneaky)- should have something to do with new espinoge system

    diplomatic- increase relations with all countries
    USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

      I also think it should have to do with espinoge, as that's one of the major new systems being put inplace with BTS.

        Could call it:
        Surreptitious
        Investigative
        Clandestine
        Secretive

        Those are the only ones I can think of for an espionage trait. I need an adjective meaning "like or pertaining to espionage."

        Can anybody think of one?

              I thought of two ideas, though I don't know about game balance:

              Intimidating - other civs give into your demands more then usual

              Entrepreneurial - A free trade route with every other nation.

                I don't know, perhaps a little weak?

                Entrepreneurial - A free trade route with every other nation.
                Sounds like a possible addition to commercial, but not worty an own trait I think.
