Author Topic:   Planetary Council options

I posted this in another thread, but I think it deserves it's own topic...
I'd like to see more diplomatic options. Examples include passing trade bans (Sanctions) against a particular faction (shades of real life!), environmental initiatives (global changes to green rating, with a negative impact on industry), and Initiate Cold War (automatic trade ban on anyone attacking another faction, but Probe Teams get a bonus). In other words, I want to see the diplomatic players have the opportunity to be ruthless (if they can get enough votes on their side).
Anyone else have good options to add for the Planetary Council proposals?

How about Annexation? Those factions that have surrendered to you might eventually join your faction if public opinion of thier citizens in your favor are high enough.
Not really useful for factions that are divided culturally/nationally/racially, but factions in SMAC are divided by ideology. It might work. Comments?
