Yet another idea for Civ III

[Rasbelin]

Actually I invented yesterday a new idea for Civ III
when I was reading the embassy thread.

I know that Civ III is bagged and tagged, but I just
wanted to share my idea.

I think a function for trading, sharing and giving intelligence
information would be a fine add to the game. At least in
MP it could prove to be valuable. The diplomatic aspects would
get more depth and you could easily prepare your civ
for an attack by an another civ. It would also give you
the option to gather and distribute (for a price, of course )
intelligence, without having to take part in wars.
By doing that, you could still control the fields of diplomacy.

In SP the AI would just share intelligence with all its civs,
so it would be totally useless (the AI in Civ III is better than before,
but using this kind of information requires human intelligence
(even a blonde is clever enough ). But in MP it could really
bring new dimensions into the game.

Comments?

Yah I agree that in SP it wouldn't be of much use. BUT in MP it could be neat. Who knows maybe in the Civ3 Xpansion pack ? BUT I would think they would have to re-tune the diplomacy screen to accomodate the more advanced options. I don't know how much work that would be. Perhaps more work than warranted for an expansion pack.
I wonder what the Xpansion pack will be called????

Here's one: "Return of the Drones!" ah that sucks
How about: "Beyond the Howitzer!"

Ah forget it...

There has been speculations on that earlier too.
"Sid Meier's Civilization III Gold" is the most likely name
that has come up at Ape.
