There is a way around this, but it consists of spawning a quest. The quest is a simple choice dialogue and if you have a particular resource unique to your kingdom / empire. You recruit that particular hero as that cost. As abob101 stated, the "simple" answer is no. I can probably think of other ways to do it, but that is the only one that comes to mind at the moment.

I actually don't like the hexagonal look. But I don't claim one to be dated or not dated. Squares have a natural progression to 3 dimensions, whereas hexagons do not. Navigation done on the world is done via squares not hexagons. I'm not arguing going for squares over hexagons, just saying I don't care for hexagons for maps in general.

I suppose your right in presenting the case where you have defensive treaties where if war is declared on you your allies would join the fight. In the aggressor, non-aggressor the idea of the territorial boundaries in space are all speculated anyway. We cannot forget the right of innocent passage through territorial waters. This allows ships to travel through another nations territorial waters without being seen as an act of war. Of course, the details of well established trade routes

[quote who="Lucky Jack" reply="23" id="3471706"] Quoting parrottmath, reply 22To physically remove your elements from your well established area cannot be anything, but be a declaration of war. I agree with your reply with the exception that I would call this act an "act of war" instead of a declaration. [/quote] Yes, this would be an act of war, so diplomatically if war was undeclared it would (should) be declared by the aggressor.

It boils down to the military border you establish is only applicable if you are willing to fight for it. Thus, if the other nations intrude on this space, it is you who should declare war. They should abide by your set boundaries yes, and if you say that is an act of war for the entrance of those ships, then declare war on them. The only natural borders in space are the planets themselves / any place you put a space station. These are the only areas which you have a physical presence

Can't wait to see what you are bringing on this fine day. Edit: Here are some questions... There has been some discussion on the forums about the Borders of each civilization. The sphere (blob) of influence being seen as your territorial border vs. a cultural border. Are there going to be any changes on how Galactic Civilization is going to deal with the borders? In regards to the shipyards, are there still more models being added to each of the civilization

Minecraft started with dated graphics. Does a pixel art game have dated graphics? Yes. If someone wrote a game with the old CGA graphics, just because it is new or popular, does not mean the graphics are not dated or one cannot enjoy the game.

I see them more as cultural borders, in which one has political influence. One issue that Galactic Civ suffers is that the genre norm is fixed borders any intrusion must be seen as an act of war and thus the opposing player entering your borders must declare war first or have a treaty otherwise they cannot enter your lands. This is no where near the way things should be done. If someone with an army enters your land, you can declare war on them, they do not need to declare war f

Influence boundaries are not national territory. They are where your culture has spread in a rough sense. Inhabitants in these areas tend to follow your ideas of thinking and generally tend to follow the social trend of that society (who has influence). The only real national boundaries in GalCiv are the planets themselves. If you feel that entering your zone of influence as a declaration of war, then declare war on that individual. Otherwise, If they enter your borders and you don&#3

Great stuff as usual... Will the shipyard have a phantom ship being constructed when it is being built. You know a un-constructed ship slowly being built with sparks and stuff on the main map. Giving an idea of what is being built... at least tiny, medium, large ship. Just a flavor construction type.
