    To tell you the truth, 'dOx, I'm not sure how much flexibility CivIII is going to give us on the diplomatic front, post-patch in particular. I hope some!

      Actually I once found myself in second place to the Romans (with a huge expanse of terrotory on another contenent) but I was making a killing with tech/lux trading. The roman bastards sneak attacked me. I gave each other civ Mobil Warfare to sign an alliance with me against the romans. AllI had to do was wait for the romans to get to me and defend myself. The other civs were busy beating the romas down to care aboutr anything else. Within 40-50 turns I was 6-8 techs in head of everyone. The roman empire was decimated and I was able to obtain a diplomatic win (which I think is too easy) and a spaceship win.

      In short the AI can be pitted against itself and it is quite usefull to create brreathing room for any number of purposes....tech lead, more expansion, consolidation, etc...

      Take care..

        The tricky part, of course, will be to accomplish some of the same effects on our map pre-nationalism, before we have formal tools such as MPP. It's going to take some ingenuity, but it may prove indispensable.

                          General annoucement:
                          I will be on the road for the next ten days, and only occasionally able to access a computer.

                          Godspeed to our fighting forces, and keep Machiavellian things going. I'll be back.
