Idea for expansion: time saver

June 11, 2003 8:20 PM from

We all know what's micromanagement. I thaught it could be nice if tech exchange would be done in a few clicks. How?

Well you click on "fast tech exchange" and you'll just click which techs you wanna get money for and to which civs, and it's exchanging it to all civs you asked by maximizing the exchange with "How many month" you've put for them to pay.

What do you all think? I know that my play style means to exchange techs constantly to all civs and minor civs, is it same for you? Would it be a nice feature?

It would also be nice to know when various Civs get new techs, instead of clicking 5 + all the minor civs every turn to check. THAT gets annoying fast.

I think there could be some simple things to be added that would diminish technical micro-management of trading.

2 parts are forming trading:
- information gathering
- making the exchange

About the information gathering, well we could have a list of what we know the other has, stuff like that.

About making the exchange, we could give some instructions on what type of exchange should be done and how it should be done. This would form some kind of "governor" and you'd just click on him and say him to exchange this and that to a given civ. He would act as you asked him to.
