Force Building

[Anna749]

On the wonders....can you force build or hurry build the wonders?? I have tried several times and havent succeded. I would also like to ask this question : If you have a civ ( germans) always demanding from you and you dont give in to them , do they automactally go to war with you? I have noticed this about the german civ...they constantly tresspass but if I go accross thier land they declare war. Thanks

you can only rush wonders (great or small) with great leaders (you can get them from having your elite units win victories).

There is only one way to forcebuild a wonder. You can send a leader to the city which builds it and tell the Leader to complete the current Buildingüproject (after which the leader is expended).
There is noch way to hurry a wonder with Gold, as you could do in the other Versions of Civ.

The Chance of trespassing Nations declaring war depends on a number of factors. the most important factors are, how weak is your Military in Comparison to theirs and how many Units are within your Borders.
The weaker your military and the greater their number of Units within your Territory the greater the possibility, that the AI declares war if given the choice between leaving and declaring war.

I think, it´s the same if you trespass the Lands of the AI.

If you have a great Army and the AI is weak, it is less likely to declare War.

About the demands the AI makes: mostly, an AI civ will only threaten you if their military is of approximately equal to or greater strength relative to your own. If a civ that has a military that is larger than you demands something, they expect it to be done. If you refuse, they almost always declare war. Similarly, the AI sends a signal to you by tresspassing on your land that they consider you to be weak and an easy target. In either case, the solution is to build up your military.

Edit: The individual nationalities of the civilizations play no role in their attitude towards you (though some claim that Gahndi is a very vindictive leader, and will backstab you and attempt to destroy weaker civilizations whenever possible).

[Proteus_MST]

There also Special Cases, where an AI is more likely to trespass.

For example if one Civ is at war with another Civ on the Continent and you are one of the Civs lying between them, then it is very likely that both of the Civs send Troops across your Territory to get into the Lands of the enemy.
In this case it is very unlikely, that either of the trespassing civs attacks you while inside your territory.
They are too busy to attack their enemy.

But if you give them the choice between leaving and declaring war, they will nevertheless declare war on you.

Also, each civ has an aggression level, if you check out the editor you can see it more clearly. For Example, Germany's aggression level is (I think) maxed out. Meaning that hes going to be generaly beligerent and overbearing, in other words expect to be tresspassed and expect to be slapped if you tresspass.
