Haha interesting ideas that could really spice up games. I'd be down for it!

I'm working on a mod (Star Trek) slowly and I've got an idea for resources. The basic idea is that everythign will be desert, but I would like to place resources out in "space" (desert) Anyway, when I automate a worker it will connect the resource first and then covers the area with roads...

I *think* you'll have to wait for the SDK, that seems like something that is a bit more hard coded into the game.

That sounds good. If you have culture that extends we'll say 10 squres into enemy territory and you go to war, you get defensive bonus perhaps. Or the city's in the cultural area of yours lose some defence points and are easier to cap.

Once a game is seriously underway and all the empty land in the world is taken up I find myself fighting culturally to keep my borders the way I want them. Sometimes it's a river I want between myself and the other player/AI or sometimes it's just that I have a newer city being pushed back by...

If my empire is large and prosperous enough I will create army groups in a few strategic areas. These groups usually only consist of the best defensive unit of the time and some cannons or w/e. The purpose is two fold. 1) If I get attacked I have a very nice reserve force with which to beat...

I would love to see this.

Out of curiosity, how is the Egyptian score? They seem to have coped fairly well (just looking at the number of cities)

You can always disable combat zoom, which should help a bit I would think.

Much thanks!

I've gotten the both a number of times. The key is to gun for them early and to have the res to speed them up (stone etc.)

yes pleaaaase. Just explain to me how I define which cities to limit.

I'm making some modifications to the huge world map for personal play with a friend of mine. I would like to create two cities, Panama City & Suez in their proper locations, which I have done. The problem lies with them getting WAY too large. We tend to found these cities are fast as we can...

Wanna explain why, or was this just a moronic flame?
