Re: the (AI) message "Nation X has declared war on your unholy nation"
I think the declarations of war might be based on the scoreboard as much as being close by. I tend to think of it as "you are obviously conquering the world and if I will attack you when I see you". However Im alittle unhappy because even when they do see me it doesnt seem like the message really meant anything at all.
As to Messages to the AIs, I like the idea. Im one of the main people who pushed for allowing the other Messages (send magic items, gems, gold) to the AIs since Dom1 originally only allowed those to go to human players.
I think though that trying to "read" the Messages properly could be a problem so role-playing the message might have to be left out. Hmmm come to think of it, maybe buttons for "send war declaration" and "send peace proposal" etc etc would work then let you type in whatever you want. That way the AI can know what the message is meant to be saying without having to try and "read" it.
