International Waters?
Does anyone know whether the seas are open to all vessels or can they be owned? I'm wondering whether ships will be able to move into any sea zone regardless of where the borders cross.

From the screen shots, it seems to me that the borders do extend into the water.

Perhaps there will be both: international waters and some that are withing borders?

Seas are like land. You need a right of passage agreement to avoid possibly going to war. Makes it interesting if you control all the important straits in the game.

Interesting! I like the idea that some seaways can be owned because I always hated the fact that a potential enemy could sit right next to my land and I couldn't do anything about it unless I declared war.

This is a good fix.

What about subs? Do you know whether these will be invisible to any ships? Would be nice... for spying purposes of course.

Whoa! That is cool! Hadn't thought about that. Constantinople will be a great city indeed!

to my eyes it appears that it will extend further than that in some places.

That would be even better! It would allow for a 200 nautical mile buffer from potential enemies, while still adhearing to the international law that ocean remain free and open. I like that!

...it'll let me station my fleet just off of the coast of my enemy, while I bide my time, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.

In all the screenshots on the civ3 site the borders extend DEEP into the water, much further than one tile.

It looks like it's determined by the depth of the water--you can only own the shallows.

Great idea. It will be fun to own a city like Constantinople. Gives you a bit more flexibility than in Civ 2.

In CTP pbem we have a universal rule. 2 squares from your land continent is considered "International Waters". Of course people somtimes make ridiculous claims to the contrary.

I think this will be carried over to Civ3. It has to be 2 squares makes sense right? In real life its 14 miles off a coastline..Of course Nations do claim more, but those claims are not recognized (EG-Libya and the gulf of Cydra)

Hmmmm....control of waters....hmmm....







One of my first scenarios: It's 2003, and hostilities have flared between Iceland and the UK over fishing rights in the valuable North Sea...Violence erupts...

Who will you play?

Iceland, of course.

Oh, and by the way, thanks to Iceland fighting the UK in 1974-1976, it is 200nm, not 14. The only time two NATO countries have been at war.

Neither....All the fish in the North Sea were pickled long ago by the oil slicks!...

...and nuclear waste.

...oh don't forget those sewer pipes that go several miles out to sea.



That's why I moved to New Zealand. Couldn't take those green and pleasant lands any more...well greenish...it's probably toxic waste.

just had a thought...you don't need to have those pollution icons...just pump it two squares out into international waters.

Share and enjoy!

I really hope that the AI will respect these borders. In Civ 1, 2, Ctp 1, 2 i always had foreign units on my territory. Sometimes they would really retreat after a request to do so but most of the times i had to declare war on that nation and destroy the units and most of the time their whole nation right afterwards .

And in CtP2, you would tell them to piss of and they'd smile and say YES. But they didn't move! That is annoying...

what really pisses me off is when you tell them to leave but they're between two cities yet just out of my reach so they're in my territory but i can't do anything so i declare war and crush them. well, at first it pisses me off, then it turns fun.

i think you should be able to complain about a massive military build-up by your borders.
