Yeah this should be cool.  :bigthumb:

I like the idea of more depth to the barbarians.

Yeah, it's cool how if they survive long enough they can turn into a city-state.

'bout f'n time!  I've been advocating this for a while now.

I'd also love to see some city-state diplomacy result in a new 'civ' joining the game in the middle by having a few of them team up, or one of them conquers a pair of barbarian camps and another city state and suddenly has a population base to become their own civ.

It seems like they are listening to the community so keep on advocating!  :bigthumb:

other suggestions

OK, so there's a few things I think would make the civ-series games a little better


1.  Not all the civs start at the same time, as new ones can form as the game goes on
----  City-states band together to become a new civ, but despite their late start, are actually a little more powerful at the outset b/c there are multiple cities when they first become a "new civ"
----  Barbarians that capture settlers / workers have a chance of converting their camps to found new city-states

2.  Diplomacy
----  There's too few options for 'trading'
----  shouldn't be limited on the numbers of diplomats you can send to other civs, although maybe you need a certain tech to trigger that one

3.  Scouts
---  Why do scouts only level up by getting into fights?  What does combat have to do with being a better observer?


4.  Wonders
----  Civ 6 fixes this a bit, but there's waaaaaaay too many wonders allowed in any one city

Apparently, it is a thing. I've never encountered 'treat' used like that. Off all the other phrases they could have chosen...

"treat with"
v.
To engage in negotiations with someone so as to reach a settlement or agree on terms: If they are unwilling to treat with us, we will be forced to attack.

So, you cannot have combined arms.  No underwater cities.   But they'll give us zombies. 

Here at ACD, we all pee the same color.

Somewhere, somehow, I woke up in the wrong timeline. I'm pretty sure this isn't even my dimension.

The space layer was really cool.
