how about the addition "echelon project":
you can steal techs for a lot cheaper price (or free) from allies.

and then add a spying mission: "expose echelon project"

Nice idea!

This thread is just g-o-o-d! I like the idea, but unfortunately it's too late... I guess that's what the new editor is for?

I wouldn't say it's to late yet,there's always post-PTW patches

[Nikolai]

Of course, what was I thinking of!

The thing is not unique to China. There's similar blocking policies in Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and, I think also Cuba. The results are people from those countries sometimes dont even know about the more recent Celphone technologies or satellite TV.


No added security or espinage capabilities, just, one content citizen (as he fails to know what's on the news about you) and 10% less trade. Congrats fellas.

Gaaaawwwd, how usefull, you want one?

Good idea.
But forget the trade part. China gets a lot of trade from foreign investment nowadays, and that's got nothing to with any Great Firewall.

one nitpick though - China does have satellite dishes. too much of them, in fact, since remote areas have to depend on them.

Echelon Project:

Security? No.
Surveilance? Yes.
Censorship? No.

Unique to the US, everone who knows about it dislikes it. 10% more chance of enemy espionage failure, one unhappy citizen each city. For governmental intrussion of people's privacy or whatever.

, this wonder should also count for the uk , canada , austaralia and new zealand , ......

have a nice day
