Advisors

[des-esseintes]

hi,

I think in PtW the advisors should stop acting like fools, I'm sick of, example

domestic: "build more cities"
military: "build more units"
trade: "build more trade"
cultural: "build more temples"
foreign: "build more friends"
science: "build a brain"
george bush: "rub my back"

would it be too hard to program, example

military: "the Persians have Oil, we dont, therefore we must attac the Persians, i suggest launching a two pronged atack against persopolis and pasargada, within the next 13 turns or the Persians get tanks. Shall I enter war-time mobilization Sire?" (Yes/No)

trade: "We could use extra luxuries. I suggest waiting until we discover gunpowder. It's a totally sucky tech... but the AI considers it invaluable so we can trade it to the weaker civs for a lot of luxuries and money."

foreign: "the French are building up forces near our borders. We should sign a MPP with the english, just incase. If the french attack us, they will imediately face a two front war which will buy us time to make a defense"

and of course

george bush: "peace on earth"

"Build more friends"?

Extra dialog from the advisors would be nice, though. Although usually it's enough just to have them tell me about potential trades and such. I don't need them to tell me exactly what to do.

As long as the military advisor tells me what government the other civs are in, I'm happy.
