Trade - Exogamy

@Dernwine

Anno (which has seriously gone downhill since.

Anno 1404 könnte man eine Chance geben, ist nicht ganz übel. Something cheesy in the dialogues and diplomacy, perhaps

You write super german, Great compliment! I understand your English texts well with Google (mostly).
By the way, I try to improve my english

True, my language has a dialect. Will try to formulate quite proper sentences … Phew!

@Sargon

so, what is so complex about those games that TW didn’t have? just curious

That the player can not found a city itself.
Whether this goes in Mods, I can not say. In the original games it is not possible.[quote=“Sargon, post:35, topic:347”]
sound like things that Tropico does right, and yes Tw does wrong.

With Tropico we get closer to the topic. There we have trade, construction and migration. Tropico is a very clever combination of these features. Of course, as is usual with all Kalypso titles, it is mainly about money.

better?

for the sake of letting this post die, I’ll just ignore whatever you just said… nothing on you, but I actually don’t understand what your point is.

The name of this tread is: Trade - Exogamy

@Dernwine

Going by what the team has said on how tech (IIRC they said that it’ll not be a tech tree but ideas will spread more naturally from outside your settlement) will spread I’d guess some form of trade must be possible, otherwise how would tech spread?

That is easy war! (Being silly.)

Much of what was discussed in this thread is mentioned in this thread (minus pointless bickering):

World Map

Here is how the map looks in Zeus: Master of Olympus. There are different symbols of cities depending on if they’re Greek or some other culture, and what relation they have to you. Clicking on them reveals their view on you (which you can click on to see more of the history of your relationship), what they produce (or export), and what they need (or import). Below that are different action, like giving a gift, begging (or demanding) the same, sending a scout to reveal more about their city, open…

Making Game Indepth - Political/Cultural Progression

I feel the philosophy of the old games like Caesar III, Pharaoh, Zeus: Master of Olympus, Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom, and Children of the Nile, fits very well. You have your city, and the land surrounding it, your basic map on which you play. Every resource you can use, and all the space your city can expand upon, is this map. However, with a click of a button, one jumps to the “world map”, or “region map”, or whichever works best. On this map, you see other cities and sites and possibi…

• Scouts being sent out to discover new lands, new tribes, new cities, new resources
• Different sites having different resources, and therefore facilitating trade
• Migration of peoples from village to village, city to city
• Trade and migration leading to ideas and knowledge spreading

The one about exogamy is a new one though, and an interesting one. I guess any nearby tribe that you have contact with, has a chance of wanting their tribesmember to marry your tribesmember… unless they have a culture that doesn’t allow that (exogamy=no)…?
