Poll: Swapping cities for Trade benefits
Is it OK for the Tourney?
IE,
Two civs scheming to cede a city to each other to more easily boost trade to the other civ.....

It will be interesting to see how people vote on this. I don't think it seems proper to swap cities for this kind of purpose, so I hope the poll results are a firm "NO". It seriously disturbs me to contemplate the violation of natural border sovreignity that such a situation suggests.Civ2 Demo Game #1 City-Planner, President, Historian

My opinion is, it's not to be done.
It's unrealistic, and not in the spirit of the game.
I'm against swapping of anything.
Yes, let's get this straight.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Have you started your game?
No. It's against the nature of the game.

do you meqan continual swapping of citys, or a one off swap just to get a foriegn civ on your contnenent so you can trwade with it easier... if latter i dont have aproblem, i seen it in nearly every gaem i palyed, whether it is for trade or just diplomacy people swap citys.. those citys can then be used for increased trade.. in our HOTW game you gave Mongols a city in South America surely this helped for trade, even if you gave it for other reasons..GM of MAFIA #40 ,#41, #43, #45,#47,#49-#51,#53-#58,#61,#68,#70, #71Comment

You're not kidding
....geez...I don't play MP that much anymore but I thought we more or less had that one set in stone eons ago....guess not....I like certain wonders to be shared in freindly games(by agreement of course) but this is just silly.How long do turns take?Imagine when each has 30+ cities.

is this a practice that goes on, this continual swapping of citys.. you mean by this each turn swapping citys back and forth ,????
this shows that trade has become way too powerful in Civ 2 and thus people now find need to exploit this loophole...GM of MAFIA #40 ,#41, #43, #45,#47,#49-#51,#53-#58,#61,#68,#70, #71Comment

you fools don't even know what it is, or how its implimented.
Basically diety got pissed because i swapped a city with bezerker in a huge game. Diety was ship chaining his ships and sending 5-10 caravans around the world every turn. I had no one close so i gave bezerker on the other side of the map a city of mine in exchange for one of his. diety with his basic understanding of trade was horrified that i had + 38 routes while his where +10. But really a 3-4,000 cash/science bonus for every caravan sent around through a ship chain does not match a caravan sent 10 squares that only gets 80 gold. I consider sending caravans to other civs cheating. I mean you basically have to do nothing but build caravans and ship chains and you can get to 3 techs a turn, and have a ton of money to buy all the wonders and units you need. Every big game i play in we ban sending caravans to other civs, because if 2 players starting close to each other know how to use trade 5 others combined don't stand a chance and i am not exagerating.Join the army, travel to foreign countries, meet exotic people -

only an idiot would do that. You'd lose 50% your routes value + 50% the value of the routes of any city connected to it. oh and you lose all your happy improvements. Yes that sounds like a great idea.Originally posted by Rasputin

using extra computers is ok
Gee I can remember when this was such a fun game to play.
All cheats should ban themselves and find another game to play. :banned:The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits
