Let's help Firaxis with "mega-bank" and other ideas

I played 2 earlier games I had, neither Romans nor small map.

In both instances, I chop/plant several times; I only received the 10 shields the first time. To verify this, I built a new city; chose Temple. Sent over enough workers to chop/plant 4 times in the same turn (railroads, Democracy, and Replaceable Parts speeded up the process). While I did chop/plant 4 times, I only got 10 shields from it; as verified on the city screen.

I'll have to test this, but I think if you plant a forest an a location that didn't have one and then cut it down, you'll get the 10 shield bonus.

Ahwell, I have some time off next week, so I guess I can use some of it by testing it out.

You do get the bonus if you plant forest on previously unforested land.

its weird , some players got it , others not , ...then again some people use mods others not , anyway , it remains a mistery , ......

Actually that bunker idea sounds good. Instead of making it a nuclear bunker, it could be an Air-Raid Bunker and reduces the chance of population being killed during an air raid (maybe also to damage done by Artillery and Ships, but then it would need to be called something else)
Also RR and road should cost an upkeep per turn if it is outside your city radius.

Units:

Have some sort of foot soldier with an attack of 6-8 available in the early Industrial Age (give it a defence of 3-4 so it will not replace Riflemen as a defense unit as well). This unit would require Saltpeter, and cost 80 shields or so. Call it the Grenadier or something. I ask for this because until Replacable Parts there is no unit other than Calvary with an attack higher than 4.

I used to think this as well, but now I see that Firaxis wanted to recreate the stalemate trench warfare of WWI and give the tank its true significance, the ability to break the stalemate.

small wonder: National Reconnaissance Office

Available with satellites, the NRO gives its owner global surveillance ablity. Does not see units inside cities or submarines. I have no idea why Firaxis left this out.

Stock Exchange would be nice.

Supermarkets and Superhighways should comeback (sorry if we have superhighways - haven't reached modern ages yet).

Malls could be nice too.

Can you imagine how long turns would take if you had to view every single movement in the map?

[Carver]

Well if you turn off animation you should be okay. Allthough, I do remember playing CTP and watching the AIs move dozens of units around in circles for absolutely no reason.

[Lucilla]

Even with animation turned off, it will take quite some time. If you switch off "show enemy/friend moves", you might be able to see just troop positions with the proposed NRO.

Carver, I remember CTP2 as well. Global Satellite wonder? God - turns took forever!

hi ,

only railroads , but that is okay , for now , ..

there should be at least 2 era's extra , just put them between the ones that are there , ....

"refrigiration" should be back , allowing for a supermarket , it would create pollution , a bit more , ...but in return it would make one citizen content , ...

a hotel - motel would do the same , ...
there is room for more buidings , and it would be fun to put some more era's in to spread them in to it , ....and with some new tech's , ...

have a nice day

PW and workers

Remember the public works system in CTP? It was horrible, but I like the fact that I didn't have to manage all of those engieeres/workers in late game. Why not combine the best parts of the two systems? On the map designate what improvments you want to have built, and then set your workers on automate, so they build what you want, not what they want.

So it will be "Stock Exchange". Good.

I feel better just having participated in this thread. Now back to AOW2.....

[CivGeneral]

Add a new type of specialist (policeman) that reduces corruption/waste in the city, and add a Prison city improvement to increase its effect. The Alcatraz great wonder could then count as a prison in each city.

The Policeman can also make unhappy/resiting citizens content.
