Enemy Spaceship - how to sabotage?

[Creosote]

Is there a way to sabotage/capture or just just stop a civ's Spaceship production?

Also, how can one tell the exact status of the civ's spaceship build?

You need a spy to know what parts have been built. Sabotage can be done, but you have to know what city is building the part you want to destroy and it is expensive.

I have not done this so I cannot be sure if it works, but I think if you raze their capitol the ship will be destroyed. I may have that confused with CivII. It was so long ago.

Anyway an easier way is to bomb the required resources. If they do not have lots of them and they are not under a town. This works well in Sid, becasue the AI will not have any workers to connect them back.

Thanks!
I have a spy in their capital but cannot see any option to investigate spaceship or anything like that. Exactly how do I find this info in the Espionage screen?

hit F10 and the spaceship screen pops up, there is a button there that tells you what parts must be built etc.

no, you must destroy the appollo program national wonder. that destroys the spaceship

Just wondering.. If you raze the city which has that wonder.. Can someone re-build the apollo program and everyone can start building ship parts again?

its a national wonder, not a world wonder firstly.
example
Boston has the apollo program. the babolonyians invade boston. what is built of the spaceship is lost. america must build another apollo program and then start the process again.

Apollo Program is not a Great Wonder. It is a Small Wonder, and must be build by each civ before that civ can begin building SS parts.

what i didnt like about civ2 was the fact that the apollo program was a great wonder. sometimes i didnt know a civ and they were using my apollo program!

Think i remember something about a nuke helping out with your problem, if you nuke the capital.

I have a problem with spaceship sabotage. The Romans sabotaged my spaceship cockpit, after I had built it. None of the city screens would give me an option to build it again in BTS. So if someone sabotages any single part of your spaceship, you don't get the option to build it again, it's gone forever and so is your spaceship.

Never come to this stage at C3C, but in Vanila it works, if you capture enemy's Capital. They will start Ship from very begining. Spy sabotage production also works. Nuke enemy help a little, as reduce City production

Now that you mention it... I've invaded their capital and destroyed their apollo program... does it destroy the wonder wherever it was built? Like...

Germany built apollo program in Nuremberg
Carthague invades Berlin (capital)
Military advisor: we have destroyed the german spaceship

Does it mean the apollo program small wonder was destroyed?

 

[Diviner]

well, according to the manual it is 100% sure, that you can destroy their advancements by capturing their capital. but only the spaceship unless their apollo was built in the capitol too.
