Editor Ideas

A flag for units called "No border crossing". This means if a unit with this flag attempt to cross a border, it will be the same as attacking that country. Quite obvious if no ROP exists, IMHO...

I like this idea, but would limit it to after the discovery of nationalism.

Well, I hardly use the editor. Too scared I'll cerate a killer AI civ by mistake.

But I'm annoyed with carriers. Either they can load units with a load icon - but they can't load air transports or any kind of land unit. It's too inflexible.

I would also like to alter civ attributes and make up my own.

Apart from that, no useful comment (some would argue these aren't... oh well!)

I wouldn't worry too much about that. On the contrary, I'd worry more about adding an exploit in that neuters the AI. A good example - if you make cruise missles launchable from subs, you know how to do it but the AI doesn't. This will give you a huge advantage for amphibious assaults, but the AI won't do it.

Are you sure that the tactical missile flag handles the opinions of the other civs? I could have sworn it was the 'nuclear weapon' flag that had this effect...

As for the change I'd make, I'd add a "Unit can shoot down aircraft" flag. This would make the Aegis cruiser work as it should, as well as allowing a mobile SAM unit.

There was a discussion at All Civ forums about this

I can't say I know for sure, though
