1UPT and other civ's units.

[Sir Og]

Does anybody know how would 1UPT work with regard to blocking other civ's units when you are at peace with them.

For example if there is a 2 hex choke point and you put two rows of of your own units there would this mean that other civ's units with 2 moves won't be able to pass through that choke because they cannot end their turn on a tile occupied by your units and they don't have enough moves to bypass them in a single turn.

I imagine that it will act as a barrier, but with units being able to take to the water without pre-made transports, it shouldn't be a huge issue. I'm assuming there will be a tech requirement for units to go on water, but I don't imagine it'll be too far in.

[Dinner]

Yeah, I suppose you could block units from other civs in neutral territory if you wanted but unless you're playing on a Pangaea map people would just sail around you plus I doubt most folks would have enough units that early in the game (when there is still a lot of unclaimed territory) to make an effective wall.

Hum... Nice! It's like Civ III...

[Jaybe]

Blockage of other civ's units (even in 3rd-party neutral territory) has been confirmed in that Iroquois playthru vid (at The Escapist) as he attempts to keep the Ottomans from attacking a city-state.

The tech is Optics for coastal tiles and I believe Astronomy or whatever equivalent for ocean tiles. It was in the live feed.
