Radical Idea????
I just had an idea----"anti-wonders" that you could build right next to a civ you are trying to sabatoge while gaining financially at the same time---i.e. a drug cartel. You add to another civs corruption and unhappy citizens while raking in money. Any thoughts?

P.S. there could even be a Studio 54 or reality show small" anti wonder"

Too much CTP over this idea. Something like the Hollywood wonder. I rather smash the poor bastards under the tracks of my tanks and MA than send an army of lawyers to sue them. Did anyone ever use the Neural Ad in CTP and CTP2?

Olaf,

I played Call to Power oh so briefly, and came to the conclusion that CTP itself was an "anti-wonder." I thought my idea seemed vaugley familiar though...

yes, someone wants to get to Prince, don't they?

I actually liked CTP - subneural ads are cool

But building a wonder solely for the purpose of damage seems a bit analogous. Wonders should help your empire, not hurt someone else. Can anyone think of any examples of 'anti-wonders'? - governments hardly build drug cartels.

Zulu...

I see your point, although the primary reason for cartels is to make money,"sabatouge" was just an afterthought I guess...I wouls like to see spying, intrigue and the inteligence agency beefed up just a little. And I don't know about govts not building cartels...ask the DEA ()

And Lucilla, as far as xarxo's nonsene...I agree GET HIM
