.90 beta test / World Congress troubles.

[Elhoim]

I really don´t like the Congress system. It feels like a free give away of cities every 25 turns. I think that we need to debate the reason for it existance, it´s logic. I feel the congress should give cities to civs that should own them, but for some reason they don´t. But there should be strong reasons for the giving. My proposal is that only cities that were owned by a civ AND it has more than %50 of that civ population should be given. Nothing more. The congress purpose is to restore the corresponding nationality to cities, nothing else.

If we put "colonies" in the ecuation, I think the following condition should be added: cities that are far away from the capital AND have no culture connection to it, should be given to nearby civs. For example, a spanish city in Colombia, near the Incas.

I think the conditions should be very hard, so to avoid illogical giving of cities.

We need to be patient with the system. This is pretty much the first build to include it at all. The first test is to see that it even works. After that, it's several builds before the right balance is found. It might even take a dozen builds. (e.g.: build 105???).

I'm sure Rhye has a few ideas to make the cities in question more logical.
