I'm not sure this will make you feel any better about it but a true sesession is a lot different than a cultural flip in that it wouldn't convert to another civilization. It would mean the generation of a new civilization added to the game....same effect on you, no giant benefit to anyone else.

One solution is to start the game with true ancient civilizations and allow for the evolution towards todays. You would need to add a seseding from a nation to start a new one as a potentiol event. History has shown that countries that are spread accross the globe eventually divide. The game...

I like the idea in theory, but I'm not sure I would in practice. SO is the wall unscalable? What do you do when the AI goes crazy with them, lol. During piece time you can do the same thing by lining up a bunch of scounts. Couple pikemen and forts will ultimately do the same thing too...

Now it would. In WWII it reduced it. That's the only problem I see with implimenting it in the game. How do you handle the fact that it worked as a tool of Nationalism for less than 50 years before becoming the politically biased mess it is today. I think elements are already incoporated...

Seems like a reasonable solution. Isn't that kind of implied by the existance of an ofshore platform anyway? What else would we be using them for.

I like the idea for scenarios. Each style you mentioned was very applicable in the 20th century, I don't know if the same could be said for the 10th.

I love the shallow water idea. I also agree that there should be some benefit to placing the harbors in the right places. At least early on, maybe lower maintenance costs. I'd also like them to be independent from cities, although this may be considered taking a step back given how...

I actually like this idea. Its just semi-automation. A rest function would be nice too. Maybe you could save up to two turns of work up through rest. I'm sure most people would use it to jump start railroads but I can think of a few things to do with it.
