I was just messing about in a game I'd allready won, using world builder to see why the AI opponent out teched me.
I dropped in some spies and submarines, and played from a stage I'd saved at, looking at how the AI progressed in its builds and such.
On thing I did notice, is what when you 'steal plans' from a Civ that has a holy city, Any city will do, though Capital and admin centres have greatest chance of success * Star in city name/naming box* you gain a line of sight into all its cities...That's a given fact, but also you gain a LINE OF SIGHT into ALL cities with the religion of the holy city of your target.
It won't show all the units of your 2nd civ, but does show the cities defenders and views of the surrounding land in the fat cross...
This has limited scope for use, if your up against an alliance of one religion, in a continents map game, it can be a easy way to scout out ALL of the continents cities.
2nd thing I noticed, is that submarine can travel under ice...well most of us know that, but I thought, that'd be an ideal place to station a sentry submarine with the sight promotion. Problem is ice flows are limited to the caps,
, so it has limited use, but you can't be attacked by those AI destroyers, who seem to be able to bee line straight to where your units are, even when you have trouble finding them yourself
ok I meant trailing the AI...ever tried to do it, and not just assume a straight line between A-B, though it allway's is...
Submarines stationed under icecaps/flows, Spies to steal plans of Civ with Majority Religion holy city for line of sight into ALL religions cities.
