by the way, would anyone here be up for a multiplayer game of Civ 4 BTS? It's pretty fun.
If enough people are interested I'd be willing to play...although I think I'm probably severely outclassed since I can just barely beat the AI on noble.

I'd play, but I have no idea what the crap half the stuff in Beyond the Sword does.

Yeah, but it's a bunch of garbage because the AI gets a massive production bonus that accumulates into hundreds of units over time. And my army is weak when compared to every single one of them combined.

Which is why on higher difficulties, early warfare is almost a necessity. If you don't bump off 2+ neighbors (dependent on how big of a map you're playing on), the enemy outgrows you so much that you can't keep up. Once you've taken the land from your immediate neighbors, you should have enough land that, when it develops, you can keep pace.

The trade routes could be toggable. That and if troops are near/los or on them a graphic could let you know etc.

Added Proxy wars. Right now anything close is the sabotage feature in BtS. Nothing really achieved on my end except - diplomacy with affected nation(s). Proxy wars could be used with Barbarians etc. But this would require a barbarian city to be located etc. etc. Or some type of state or other source.

Proxy wars are in the game. You can tell other people to attack your enemies, even if you aren't war with them. The problem is that in the current system, world diplomacy is completely transparent, so your common enemy usually ends up attacking you anyway.

IMO the transparency of diplomacy comes from a limitation of the AI. If the AI doesn't automatically know what deals you make, it has to have some means of finding out, and have different responses to different subsets of partial information, which is much more complicated to program.
