Allied Coordination

[one_man_assault]

remember the lovely feature in SMAC that allowed you and your allies to converge on certain areas in coordination. WHAT HAPPENED?! that idea would have been terrific for CIV 3 besides being completely do-able. The only flaw I could see about this is how to implement it in the pre-industrial era. Any Ideas to further or counter what was said?

There's quite a few threads with the idea about co-ordination between allies like asking other Civ's to call off wars (vendettas) etc, but not this particular point. Personally I never found it much use, and only invite other Civ's to a war as distraction. I guess I've beaten down a city only to have it snatched by an 'allie' one too many times.

yea lol Ive wasted massive bombardments on enemys only to have an ally come in and sweep in the city...but I was thinking that instead of an invasion this would be more sensable on an operation to route a leader and place in a puppet type governent wich is a whole diffrent topic. But Im also suggesting this on the assumption that in CIV4 allies would be more of an asset and less of a burden or distraction
