I consider Diplo guiding past forts a cheat
I just thought I should let you all know. Just in case it comes up in a game that I'm playing in. I won't play in a game where this is allowed.
Thank you for your attention

Pleasure. And it was edifying too, I have to say.

Why not? It says in the rules that diplo's/spies ignore zone of control????
What's the problem. Wait until you see the scout/alpine combo

No problem.Just use a caravan,freight,explorer or partisan.The only thing that matters to me in a MP game is getting a good ally.Nothing else is as important.......Xin YuComment

I can see a spy/diplomat slipping by garrisons (but there should be a 25 to 35 percent chance of getting caught), but what I really object to is the notion that any unit from a dip to caravan can escort a massive army through multiple zones of control. What nonsense! Oh yeah, our diplomat will magically allow 100,000 crusaders to slip by all those fortifications.Comment

I think if you want to use your ZOC, you should have to fight and use your offense Why should a few phalanxes fortified stop my legions or knights if you are too scared to come out and fight?

Ming, did you include guiding in your Civ III cheat list?Comment

No... I didn't. It's not a cheat, so it's not included

"Diplo guiding" is where a diplo is used to negate the zones of control of a fort. You put a diplo on the diamond where the fort is exerting a zone of control and your units can move through that diamond. They are no longer blocked by the ZOC of the fort.
I'd like to know which "groups" of regular players allow this. Does your group Ming?

I don't know of anybody that doesn't allow it. It's a part of the game just like wonders and science. There is nothing wrong with doing it!

Oh, okay. I think its a cheat but I'll bow to player opinion
(I've had icq on it too)
Ming, could you leave this thread open anyway please, I'm still interested in opinions, and thanks for taking the trouble to reply.
Carry on makeo

I've done it occasionally, but i do feel kinda guilty if using it to take a major city. I hope that everyone can decide whether it belongs with the game bugs as cheat, or if it is allowed. Maybe you'll have to ask Sid Meier about it.
