So you can only trade resources for direct gold if you have a declaration of friendship. Wow. This is great in my opinion and really re-shapes the game. That tradition 4 city and the libery setler buy-buy strategy are sort of gone now. Wow..

It is real nice, one less house rule I have to follow!!

It's nice, but DoFs are easy to get and it's disappointing that it didn't go hand in hand with changes to the AI that let it know when a deal wasn't in its favour - you can still bankrupt another civ just as before. This should be easily fixable, so I'm not sure why Firaxis keeps opting for workarounds that place less-than-restrictive limits on player behaviour instead.

I think this is tremendous. Really puts a dampener on the warmongering.

This was clearly done to stop the "I trade you all my stuff for a flat sum, then keep the gold and you lose the luxuries" strategy. That's all fine and good, but it's a little bit frustrating to people who never used that exploit.

I love Brave New World because is approaches Civ like more of a simulator. Let's be honest here- If you have your own country, how often do you want to wage pointless war?

I like the fact that one needs to DoF because it removes the cheese factor from the game. It's the difference between playing like a growing civ or abusing mechanics. AI has mad gold? Trade all my lux, get mad money, go to war, rinse and repeat.
