Simple way to make CIV more "real"

Yes, that would be a great feature! That would make the "third world" more feasible... and maybe there could be a % chance that the unit-recieving civ could "extract" the technology needed to build the unit from the unit itself... this is also life like, and would make arms deals, currently hardly represented in the game, even more dangerous and intriguing...

HEY... if you want to talk political crap... do it in the OTF where it belongs... stay on topic, or get restricted.

Yes, in Sid Meier's Civilization II was this always a handy option. With Alliance you could give the AI much Tanks, and so. Too bad, it isn't anymore in CivIII.

True, but without right of passage, why would you WANT to give your allies units?

Ah, but this is a "theological" debate...

Good question! It's just nice. I don't know. If he's technologycally backwards, you can give him better Units.

Lets try to stay on topic please....

know what else would be cool? How bout granting Base Rights or Leases, that could mean you could ally with a neighbor of a hostile power, set up your airbases (in PTW of course) and get ready for war. The AI civ would of course charge you a certain amount for it.

I dont have PTW so I'm not sure if a Right of Passage would make this possible. If airbases are treated like forts then this would not be a problem. But airbases should have a nationality, like colonies, until captured in war.

Another thing DOCKS. I think i said this in a previous post or in another thread. But I hate it when 1-square islands end up with a resource and I don't like making a city on it.

hi ,

, , why not have something like a type of forced posting of your troops in an other country as part of a peacedeal or so , ..... "peace deal and stationing of our troops for twenty turns" , ....

have a nice day

[bobbo008]

oh, occupation, great idea...

... nobody ever thought of that before?

[Yahweh Sabaoth]

Right of Passage is pretty good, especially if airfields can be used... I disagree that airfields should have a nationality. I suppose they could, but that would make stationing American and British plans on an airfield in the Ottoman empire a little difficult.

hi ,

, it would intresting to have all airfields be "neutral" , .....

It would be GREAT if more than one Civ could - with the appropriate diplomatic agreement - occupy the same tile at the same time. This happens in real life; once again I point to the massing of American and British planes at Incirlik in Turkey as a good example.

Good point... and tourist to visit your monotments, which would be done in the dipomactil screen, which will alow Great/Minor WoWs like Dinsey World (/Land) & Six-flags!

Ha ha ha, that's hilarious... DisneyWorld should DEFINITELY be a great wonder. I mean, the thing is - literally and legally - a city! A modern Shakespeare's Theatre maybe?

But as for culture flipped, let's not forget how Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania "flipped" from the Russian orbit to the Western... I think culture flipping is well-founded in reality.
