Political Citystates Rules Mod Discussion

GhengisFarb™ · April 5, 2003, 13:48

Let's use this thread to discuss rules modifications and gameplay. Any changes should be playtested to insure playability before we start the game.

I'm working on a test setup to add a total of 32 Luxuries to see if they all contribute Happy Faces. This would add the element of our Citystates needing to go and acqure/trade these luxuries to maintain the happiness of the growing Citystate with the Palace being modified to act as a Sewer System.

Now that I am cleared up on the fact that there are at least two CS games happening, I still want to pull together the mod. I still won't be playing.

I have a pretty good map, going. so far with the Barbarian Settler (C=10s, no pop).

I suggest a Tech tree mod that puts maps parallel to writing, requiring alphabet and pottery. It allows for a quicker expoloration without giving it away.

I know GF was talking about the UUs having hidden nationalities (except a few).. But I am utrying to understand why some dont get hidden nationalities. I agree Gurella should have hidden nationalities.

Palace acts like aquaduct and sewer system and makes 2 happy in city and 1 happy in empire. This will be key with the early growth potential.

Alright tried the pop cost for unit thing and the AI is completely confused. I suggest we simply convert the UUs to allow everyone access and get going.

Who wants to be on what team?

We need to make teams, the poll results indicated 5 human teams and 3 AI barbarian empires.

Do we want to go with an Ancient theme?

Perhaps Romans, Greeks, Carthage, Egypt, and Persia?

Ah I see...I actually like the team theme of all working towards a goal..."The Collective" sounds pretty good.

Concerning the actual nationality of the human teams...I, for one, really like the Iroquois.

Since no other team nationalities have been decided as of yet, I will be the first to suggest the following team:

NATIONALITY: Iroquois

NAME: The Wyandot Collective (WC for short - I know, WC is another term for "wash closet" or "bathroom" - but, let's see who "urinates on whom"!

) But being 1/8 Wyandot myself, you can see why I'm partial to the tribe.

THEME: The Collective - a "smallish" sized team with all members will having equal say in all aspects of our glorious empire management- majority carries the action in question.

Has interest wained with Ghengis' new game plan?

ManicStarSeed · April 17, 2003, 22:01

I was just making sure that one of the teams were Iroquois. I am modding the map slowly, play testing a little.......

GF, What is the thought behind the hidden nationality for the UUs?

We need to form some teams...... I am out as Map Maker...

Well, I think it is only appropriate that the Greeks be involved. I would definatley participate on a Greek team; I can't say that I would run it, as I may be running a team in the mini-PTWII, but if that falls through...

Instead of following through with any of our ideas the populous seems to come up with another PTW Demo game idea every other week.
