make the UN shut up!

[jkp1187]

I would like a checkbox in the UN proposals dialog "remember my answer and don't bother me again".

So I can always vote yes, always vote no or always abstain. Without having the popup dialog every now and again!

As it is now it is incredibly annoying to be pestered by the same proposals over and over again! It makes you hesitate build it yourself, and nuke the civs that try back to the stone age!

Much like the real world, I know... I know the UN is a big pain in the butt for some of our world leaders but they can at least appoint an advisor to not have to deal with the constant pestering!

Ah, but one of the tools of diplomacy is jaw-boning the other side into fatigue so that, by accident or design, they acquiesce to your proposals. And sometimes you just get lucky, as the USSR learned when it was boycotting the UN back at the start of the Korean War....

No thoughts, short of removing the wonder from the game?

Doesn't this retread the same ground as the 'Why should The Pyramids give you more civics choices?' threads? I mean, they were just big tombs so it's totally unrealistic. Also, Scotland Yard does not produce spies, jails don't make populations support wars and the Globe Theatre didn't eradicate unhappiness.

You could make it 'realistic' and and up with a game that would never work. Why does it need to be realistic?

But it IS realistic. Those crazy Egyptians were able to run Hereditary Rule before anyone else had kings or emporers, and the Greeks and Romans who conquered the Pyramids were able to run Representation LONG before anyone had a Constitution! Maybe they were something more than "just big tombs"...

um...

i dont think they're advancedness is due to their triangular shaped tombs.

Greeks ran direct-democracies. ALL CHOSE ALL

if you ask me, Democracy the research shouldn't allow universal suffrage, for at the craddle of democracy (athens) there wasn't any. i think democracy should come directly after hereditary rule, and that enables representation: THEN comes constitution that runs universal suffrage

you don't need constitutions to say: ok, who likes the idea?

Are you SURE it wasn't the triangle-shaped tombs..?

Good point, and in a sense I do agree, however because this is a game, and everyone is, in effect, on a level playing field, the game needs a way of creating and maintaining balance. Sometimes a few unrealistic factors come into play.

I do enjoy the Gal Civ II united planets, frankly Civ IV should allow more resolutions. Personally, I just go for the idea of beating the game pre UN these days.

Now that the UN will be buildable earlier thanks to Beyond the Sword, I really need the interface to be made less intrusive.
