Here are some of my thoughts and ideas on political borders in ctP2. All in all, nice feature but they are eneffective.1. The idea of political borders did not emerge until the middle ages, before then, civilizations were defined by a group of city states. Therefore, make Political Borders something that is researched 2. Political Borders need to be far more effective. I'm sorry, if Mexico moves a column of tanks into California, it's war. Period. Crossing political borders with military units is a huge deal!! It should warn you with a pop up, center the screen there and switch your status to war. By implenting these 2 ideas you have effective borders that don't hinder expansion early in the game. There are my ideas, what are your thoughts? |

I agree! Military units that pass your borders should automaticaly be a declaration of war or you should be able to attack them without the civ declaring war on you. Have not yet seen the AI remove units after making an agreement to respect borders. |

Well, I think that those 2 ideas should be part of the 1st patch for CTP2  I haven't bought yet the game because it hasn't been released in Europe yet so I don't know how you figure out the borders. Are they visible on the map like the borders in Alpha Centauri? Are they invisble? |

Don't worry, you're not the first to mention this  and I'm already working on a way to at least give you a warning when you're crossing a border (in SLIC of course). Personally I don't think crossing it should automaticly mean war, but if you want you can set this sort of thing in the diplomacy files somewhere. |

Crossing a border shouldn't automatically mean war. There are border skirmishes all over the Africa but they don't mean war. If a large force crosses your border, maybe then it should mean war. But I also think that some units should never cause war, only worsen relations -such as guerilla partisans. For example take example of the Korean war, when the North and South sent guerillas into each other frequently before the North actually officially invaded and they went to real war. |
