Cloaking Spin Control Center

from GalCiv2 Forums
I think serious consideration should be made to: 1) not anouncing which civ has built the spin control center; 2) hiding the location of the spin control center when a planet is viewed. When a civ builds this galactic achievement, it is blatantly clear which planet contains the building. This will become a serious problem (i.e. destroying the utility of the building) with the introduction of an online multi-player feature.

Here is what I propose: First, eliminate the galaxy wide anouncement that the spin control center. Secondly, make the spin control center look like an empty tile to other players when viewed.

they should make it look like whatever factory type uilding is your most modern. An empty tile would be suspicious.

but its still not going to fool most players because having ships on a planet that are redicoulsly better then identical looking ships on other planets is very blatent. I think is should change to a galaxy wide military boost like a military resource but it's not a real bonus just looks like all your ships are bigger.

P.S. multiplayer ain't happening, but this wouldmake spin control useful for the computer.

In my opinion, the same arguments could be used against any of the other projects or wonders. You always know where all the wonders are, so it's easy to plan your attacks.

Actually, why isn't there a 'wonder lowdown' screen? As it stands, you have to write it down yourself or just remember - it seems like the sort of thing that should be in the intelligence report. Just a line that says 'Dregin have tir-quan on Olethos' would save a lot of hunting.

To view other peoples planets, don't you have to spend money on espionage? I don't see a problem.
