*bingo*

I could live with exploits, "bugs", whatever, if this particular feature was improved. So many wars have had trade issues at the root of the conflict.

Each version of civ has expanded the diplomacy capabilities. I hope cIV is no exception.

	Enter the AD-FREE zone

If they add a temporary suspend option to trades so you can pick up trading when the lanes are open again, *and* allow for gifts, the current system will be a lot better.


It's actually a very good idea to let the AI learn by your actions. Would give you more of a challenge the more you play

Programming that into the system would be extremely difficult though so I won't hold my breath waiting.

It depends on what you mean by letting the "AI learn by your actions". If you mean learning your war strategies/tactics, then I agree. That could be cool. But if you mean letting the AI remember that in 8 out of 10 games (for example) you've broken RoPs, then I'll have to disagree!

	Increase Your PM Length

Depends on how he remembers it. Calling you an untrustworthy MF based on previous games would be bad, protecting his valuables while you roam his countryside would be good

as Bongo says....

Each civ game played stands alone....that's civ -- different every time. If there were some attitude/history tracker plaguing me from game to game, I would eventually figure out how to delete the necessary files -- or just plain delete and reinstall in order to wipe the AI's memory clean. What a pain!

Preserve human psychotic civ behavior, down with long term AI memory!

	Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

It shouldn't be about the AI remembering how a given player likes to play, but about the AI remembering what has worked against it and using those strategies itself next time...

Wow, did I really say that? It seems overly intelligent for me
