Preventing contact!
I finally realized a REALLY easy way to prevent contact before it should happen (the whole map being explored, etc.) - I made Ocean impassible to Wheeled, and made Trireme Wheeled.

What the hell's a trireme? Wrong game, wrong forum.Jack -
The Trireme is Civilization 2's equivalent of the Galley: a feeble sailing vessel that sinks in deep waters.Regards,

Personally I call them rowing boats.Some cry `Allah O Akbar` in the street. And some carry Allah in their heart.

A trireme is an advanced ancient warship characterized by the use of three banks of oars. Earlier warships had fewer banks, a bireme had two banks and a monoreme has one bank.Originally posted by MyOlde
What the hell's a trireme? Wrong game, wrong forum.
Later rowed warships such as the roman quinchioreme (sp?) still had three banks of oars but two of the banks had two rowers per oar. The libernian was a return to the 1 rower/oar with 3 banks. Also, roman warships were rowed free men and not by slaves or criminals.
One oddity was the ptolomy polyreme which was a kind of huge catamaran with each hull having 10 banks of oars. One account says it sank when a small wave hit it.

I never thought of this
However, I won't use it in my mod (where naval movement is the most drastic change), since I only play on bigger maps, where oceans are large enough not to be crossed before navigation

This is an excellent idea.

The Apolyton University mod over in the strategy forums made ocean cost two movement points to enter, and made all ships except the galley ignore ocean movement points.
That method still makes suicide galleys possible, just not very likely.
I like the wheeled approach though, if preventing entirly is the direction you want to take.Comment

I made ocean cost 3
and sea cost 2, but I was still worried about those little thin bits.
