making war on trade Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

from the PC.IGN preview:
"But you can only trade with rival civilizations if your capital is connected to theirs by a road (or harbor or airport)"

I hope there is a way to disrupt trade at sea besides simply destroying harbors and/or capturing the harbor city. Something akin to uboats, piracy, or an all out attack on the sea-borne trade of another CIV.

Considering how difficult that might be to implement, I'm not too optimistic. Just hoping.

It's been confirmed that harbors can be blockaded to disrupt trade routes.

Nothing is hard to implement. But the game is already finished. You can conduct naval blockades, that might be the limit of disrupting trade though.

Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

Being able to suffocate your rivals sounds great. It must have dire consequences though.

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Yeah I know the game is done.. it's hard to train oneself to stop saying "I hope they include" and start saying "I hope they included"

for example:
"Gee I hope the included multiplayer"

Inflate your Upload Space

Couldn't you block or destroy roads to disrupt land based trade?

Pillaging roads makes some strategic sense now
