Completely Dumb Ideas

Make International Congresses actually based on real ones. For example, trade off New Orleans to the US in the Napoleonic War... I know this isn't a funny suggestion, but most suggestions I make, people laugh on anyways so >_>

New Orleans wasn't really a congress decision, I think, but just a sale of land.

There isn't sales of land in Civilization, and there'd never be one. Unless it was an event.

Giving a city to another civilization and then giving money afterwards?

 

[SheaferDaDawg]

You know, that might actually be worth implementing....as it is, I think you can only trade cities for cities, and I have never seen an AI do that.

 

[Hippo8085]

Trading of cities not during wartime is definitely ... lacking. Base price on population and culture.

Oh no! Something semi-useful was done with this thread!

I think ONLY after Hollywood is made, that Hollywood great artists come about. Groucho Marx.

Changing the Varietas Delactat representation of the Aztec on the Industrial Age. So that instead of some weird mishmash of Indian + Rifleman we have Mariachis with rifles. As it should be. And it would look COOOOL.

There needs to be more decimals in this game. Such as, 1.3 movement.

That was completely unrealistic

That was completely unrealistic

I don't know what you are talking about, seems legit to me

 

[Wondering Kid]

That was completely unrealistic

I said it (or well, wrote it) as a semi fun/serious proposal. I mean, Mexicans don't go all day wearing a "sombrero". it'd be like saying that all Scots wear kilts, or that all Peruvians eat guinea pigs for lunch. However, Mexicans used sombreros as Scots did with kilts for similar reasons. Well, sort of.

by the way, when i meant mariachi; i was think about the Mexican singers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariachi , not about Antonio Banderas

Florida and Louisiana should get a hurricane event every turn.

 

[awesome]

America's music that plays when you zoom in on its cities should be "America, F Yeah"

Make the rest of the world a stable area for Japan!

Make the rest of the world a stable area for Japan!

Excellent idea


Talking about Japanese... How about tourist event? After founding of railroad or flying you can choose what kind of tourism your civ promots:

Group tourism: +2 happiness to six biggest cities for 10 turns
(- you know those Japanese tourist buses all around world in 80s´ and 90s´ and now days Chinese one.)

or

Individual travelling: +10 to gold / culture / science AFTER ten turns for five turns.
Like inter-railing thing in Europe and backpackers culture.

And one semi-serious suggestion: Global Drug Trade to DoC

Just adding one drug resource, but which would represent all of three major drugs: opium, coca leafs and cannabis - heroin, cocaine/crack and marijuana/hashish.
Resource it self could give one extra gold for tile - but with Global Drug Trade -company every resource you have would give +10 gold for city but at least would create two extra unhappiness to cities where it is and one stability minus per resource per city.

MASS MEDIA tech could be trigger to corporation.

Here little bit info how important global drug trade is now days...
In December 2009, the United Nations' Drugs and Crime Tsar Antonio Maria Costa claimed that illegal drug money saved the banking industry from collapse. He claimed he had seen evidence that the proceeds of organised crime were "the only liquid investment capital" available to some banks on the brink of collapse during 2008. He said that a majority of the US$352bn (£216bn) of drugs profits was absorbed into the economic system as a result.

Here's a semi-serious suggestion that I've been thinking about: Make corporations take the names of in-game ones.

They'll be dependent on country. For example, if you're the US, having the oil industry spread to you will have a popup saying "Exxon Mobil has spread to Washington!" If you're England, you'll have that popup say "BP has spread to London," the Netherlands will have Shell, the Vikings will have Statoil, and so on.

Not all civs have oil companies, for you have to have oil in decent amounts to encourage it. Aslo, Standard Oil Is a better one then Exxon Mobil. Standard Oil made its owner one of the richest people to ever live.
