  • Idea: Propaganda and Loyalty

    If you are at peace or allied with another empire for an extended period of time, your people should come to like their people, and there should be a serious happiness penalty if you decide to break off and attack them. I'd like to see propaganda city improvements brought into the game to quell this and give you sway over the emotional reactions of your populace to the other empires. You should have to work at getting your people to love their old enemies and to hate their old friends.

    An idea I stole from Tropico...

    How about building TVs which can be used for propaganda pruposes?

      already implemented

      consider the way firaxis has been talking about culture. certainly seems to imply some propaganda their. after all, a lot of what makes civ so fun is the implied stuff the imaginiation fills in.

        It should simply be a case of adding in a reputation list FOR EACH CIV (bilateral relations) as well as the existing gobal reputations. Other civs would worsen their reputation in your eyes if they declared war on you and extended peace would better their reputation in your eyes. You would suffer an increased unhapiness hit if you declared war on a civ with a good bilateral relationship with you. Conversely, if you declared war on a civ with a poor bilateral relationship with you, you might receive a hapiness boost! In fact, there should be a 'atrocious' category which a civ may fall into for only a few turns, and only if they have done VERY bad things to you. If a civ goes into atrocious, a window should come up saying 'the people clamour for war. They will not be appeased until they taste the Mongols blood etc.'
        If you don't declare war, you would get a unhapiness hit!

          i LIKE that idea

          Vengence! A day that will live in infamy forever!

          I think it would be intertesting if at times your empire demanded you crush some fellas who'd done a whole bunch of nasty things to you. Sounds like a darn good idea to me.

            hahahaha, sentient citizens.

            it might be just me, but I'd have to agree with Hitler here:

            "Luckily for leaders, that men do not think"
            "I've lived too long with pain. I won't know who I am without it. We have to leave this place, I am almost happy here."
