Decoy Captials
I was considering that a captial city often becomes a target.

What if we have 3 cities named "The Hive". This deception could prove to be useful as an attack on our shores will hit the wrong target.

I propose three "The Hive", which will become privately known in our forums as "East Hive", "West Hive", and "Central Hive".

This may not really affect the game, but if it does could give us a tatical advantage.

It sounds like a plan. The only difficulty I can think of would be that the game may not allow two bases to have the same name. Maybe I'm still thinking Civ3...

Doesn´t the capital look different to any other base? Or is that something that evil capitalist Civ2 gamer-pigdogs have planted into my head to sabotage our plans?

The capital is usually 1 size bigger. However, most people won't check that carefully.

Can we also leave insulting landmarks too for our foes?

Only if they're funny to netural factions as well. Bad jokes only for the sake of annoying someone get tiresome fast.

Like renaming the "Great Dunes" to "Keep off the grass"?

Well if it develops into a full vendetta we could mark sites of where great battle took place, after we won it of course.
