Borders

Shouldn't there be one?

January 13, 2007 11:01:58 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
It has come to my attention that Galciv2 needs borders. All nations have borders. All through out history there have been borders...and if a hostile nation crosses it, well it won't be pretty. I KNOW about the ring of "influence", but it is not a border. It makes no sense NOT to have one! Technically you can't own space, but in all good sci-fis there are borders to say "hey keep out" or "I'm bigger that you! Stay out!".

To me, It seems kind of fishy when enemy ships are going around your planets to get at the enemy on the other side. Wouldn't YOU want your space to be free of alien ships? Plus, it would create fun and challenging scenarios. EX:The biggest civ is in the middle of you and your enemy. You can: 1) Go through their borders and risk retaliation 2) Go Around Go Around! 3) Anything else you can think of!

BUT... I'm pretty sure I'm beatin' a dead horse here, so POST AWAY!

As long as those alien ships are just passing through, I really couldn't care less.

And yes, you are. It has been beaten to death and dust.

While I think it's fine the way it is, I wouldn't mind if we had the ability to tell the AI to get its transports out of our territory. I'd also appreciate a pact preventing other navies from operating in my territory without paying me something.

Yes it is. I consider this my territory.

Ditto, if I'm at peace, my borders are open, but if I'm at war, I mercilessly hunt down any ships that dare cross my influence border and convert them from Starship to expanding cloud in the blink of an eye...mwahahahahaha! >Twiddles fingers menacingly<

Make a boarder with your ships at the edge of your influence... but then they will think you are attacking...

HEY! That might work. But ti do that, you would need a blank hull to support large borders.

The best way too have borders is too just do the same as what they have in Medieval 2, and have it so that unless you have permission to go on other people's territory, if you trespass your relation with them will go bad. But it doesn't solve the problem of stopping people going into your space though.

Bring your ideas they are welcome there.

As for the traveling around the borders, I personally think it is a good idea and have posted extensively in the above thread on this idea and many other border related ideas.

Keep up the good work!
