I looked at the diplo part to add some extra stuff and change existing :
Now its :
Resource trading (no limiting except attitude)
Open Borders (City trade, civilian and military units can enter)
Defensive Pact (AIs have to be peace with everyone to form. If one gets attacked everyone declare on the attacker)
Permanent Alliance (imho rarely used, maybe tweak for Union)
My idea :
Trade Agreement (can exhange resources and open up for city trade routes, civilian units can enter)
Default attitude : Cautious
Military Treaty (can enter borders with military units)
Default attitude : Pleased
Defense Pact (AI declare on existing wars as well as future wars.)
Default attitude : Pleased
Union (sort of like a semi permanent alliance but with more civs involved, and preferably the low score civs, so they get a chance to compete)
Default attitude : Friendly
but... its a lot of work with the diplo stuff. Lots and lots of stuff needs to be added/changed, so I kinda pushed it ahead of me for a while now.
edit :
mmm, was thinking about Free Speech Civic... Since it gives Unlimited Artist and Artists give +1 :happy: then it can remove all unhappiness, while at the same time increase the Culture output quite a bit, and on top give +100% Culture, and increased amount of Great People Points at a Low Upkeep.
Maybe its just a little bit over powered
Note to players : Please keep an eye on the civics. What is good, what is bad, what is worthless and what is OP. Thanks
