	War Sentiment Enter the AD-FREE zone

In Civ1 and Civ2, the concept of "war sentiment" does not exist. You could wage continuous war for 6000 years, suffer huge casualties without consequence.

To alleviate this, I suggest that the concept of "war sentiment" be added to Civ3. This would be roughly modelled on the "rebel sentiment" of the game Colonization.

"War Sentiment" would be a multiplier which would affect productivity and military effectiveness. The "war sentiment" factor would be affected by various things such as whether the war waged was aggressive or defensive, the length of the war, the number of casualties, the type of govt, etc. etc.

I don't think it's gonna be easy to make war for 6000 years in civ3. This is because your units will need maitenance in a given amount of gold each turn. Solves your problem?

It's true you could end up with continuouse war, and it wouuld limit you. I believe it should have an effect on the people moral.

I really love the idea that you can have both a war- and a peace national-state. So when you enter the state of war, military units are built much faster and likewise for civilian buildings during the peace time. I like these differences to be big, so no one can be at war for several thousands of years, and not suffer greatly from it.

On the other hand, maybe you can get the populace with the old "declares war on you by attacking" routine, like the US did after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor.

Hey, anyone besides me gonna see that movie?

I am certainly going to see that movie!

Anyway, I think the cost of a continuous war is well done with a combination of unit support, unhappiness for units away from home, and unhappiness due to troop losses. An extra factor I think is not needed as long as these three safeguards are well balanced, effective, and costly.

I am not going to see the movie. They have said many times that it is not going to be historically accurate and it seems that it will focus on the love story part, not the war. If you are going to make a movie based on an event from history you might as well make it _correct_.
