I would like to see specialists that provide health and happiness. I like the idea of medical specialists. I think for happiness, there should be athlete specialists. The colliseum would be the first building to allow athlete specialists, and there could be a building available at Nationalism...

I don't see why higher tech units should have a disadvantage when attacking lower tech siege units... it should be that mounted units should be able to counter the siege unit of it's era as well as all previous siege units with equal efficiency.

My solution to this would be to have your borders fixed when Nationalism is researched. Culture can still spread and build up in tiles adjacent to your national borders, but they will never be able to flip automatically. There should be a way to flip a tile though, through annexation. This could...

I came up with these for a thread suggesting drug resources. In short, the drug resources, such as opium, marijuana, and cocaine, would provide huge commerce with a plantation and + happiness but also + unhealthiness. Unregulated (No Upkeep): base civic Universal Ban (High Upkeep)...

I actually really like the ideas of loans and buying/selling military units. You really should be able to trade military units for cash, resources, and even technology.

I'm kind of disappointed that there is no early atomic bomb available with radio, flight and fission (and Manhattan project) that would be delivered by bomber. Despite that though I'm happy to see a cruise missile and tactical nuke.

Yah it just seems weird to me that after upgrading all ground units to mechanized infantry, there is no longer any ground infantry unit, which is absolutely vital in urban warfare. Armored vehicles don't really fare too well in urban settings, you need units on the ground able to storm...

I do know what these mean, it actually seems like you don't. Cloning: I know we already have the ability to do this, not everything I listed is something we haven't done yet. My idea for cloning was just a simple way of applying a complex biological process to the game, without yet another...

Wow just read the new info and they actually added Laser and Superconductivity and the Stealth Destroyer! I really hope they add a new ground infantry unit like the urban combat soldier I described. Urban warfare is the future of war, and I think a new unit that reflects that strategy should be...

New techs and new units sound awesome! I hope that SDI needs laser as prerequisite now, it should appear later in the game to prolong the usefulness of ICBMs as effective deterrents/first strikes.

I know some of you abhor the thought of a future era in BtS, but I think it would be nice. We already have SDI and space elevator, why not take it one step further with realistic possibilities with future tech/units? Note that I don't think mechs are realistic future units, but there are some...

Using up one resource to create another seems like just one part of what corporations can do. They will also be able to use up resources to create food, production, and commerce, so in that respect it is very advantageous to have many resources

I like the idea of a medic unit. Using a great general for a Medic 3 seems like a waste, but it seems to be the best use of a GG in most cases. And I LOVE the idea of a tactical nuke

I agree with the additional of a tactical nuclear bomber. I have a feeling if it were added, the Manhattan Project would be researched and nukes will get used more often, which is definitely something that would make the modern age stand out. SDI should not apply at all to tactical nuke bombers...

I realize that there is little chance of drug crops being added since there would be a lot of controversy, but I really think they should be added as they have played a significant role in history. This thread is about how I envision drug crops being handled in game. First, the drug crops...
