Forum has grown too big. Which subforums would you like to have here?

I can definitely see the need for FFH lore, maps/scenarios, playermade minimods and tweaks, and maybe a wishlist. I don't play multi so I can't offer an opinion there.

In my personal opinion those would be useful:

*maps and scenarios
*lore
*modmods
*technical problems ("what BTS patches do I need to run FfF" or "Civ gives CtD on loading FfH" type of thing) - would be perfect if contained one post where such things would be added in FAQ manner
* multi (I don't play, but I think such a subforum would be helpful for those that do)

Wishlists merits a thread, not a subforum, shurely?

I'd have thought a subforum appropriate for topics that generate a lot of separate threads.

Wishlist would probably be half the threads in the mod-mod forums :)

...seeing as it's already half of the threads in the main FfH forum :D

I doubt a need for modmods and maps. Just one for fan-downloads, or something like that.
Trouble shooting might not be very busy, but could be quite helpful because those threads tend to get lost but repeated often.

I'm afraid I missed troubleshooting. :( FAQ thread really does not perform this task successfully.

Why I divided Maps and Tweaks: first one is for play other one is for gameplay engineering. Feel those as different things.

Wishlists IMO should be like a general chat room as it involves most discussions. :D

I think a mods combined with maps and scenarios would be brilliant and actually encourage people to produce some more of those ;)
and a lore thread or forum would be awesome too.

Just don't spread the subforums out too much, otherwise it kills traffic. Having to visit multiple subforums to read a handful of posts can be annoying. :)

I'd love to read a lore forum. It probably wouldn't have a lot of posts, but it would be interesting and flavorful.

Add-ons (modmods, maps, and scenarios) would also be great.

May I suggest a succession/democracy/hall of fame/roleplaying games forum as well?

Wow! It actually happened.:eek: :eek:

:eek: Someone write some stuff in the lore forum for us to read. MagisterCultuum? You know lots of lore...

If anyone wants to take the time via PM to cut/paste threads and tell me where they should be moved to I'll gladly do it.

@it-ogo:

I think Lore should be information about the world. Not about game mechanics, no? So most of those links probably aren't quite appropriate.

And the first link (D&D Campaign) is actually a collection of Lore, not a scenario.

Thanks for the links. I do agree that game mechanic info isn't Lore. That subforum is for stories and the world itself.

That were my doubts. First, sometimes it is difficult to separate game info and lore and second, it is nice to have some info links nearby. In any case it is up to you, woodelf.

I'll use some judgement and if anyone has a case either way I'm open to moving stuff around. I really hope this spurs some more Lore and playermade stuff.

If this forum counts as too big, I'd hate to see what your def of just right is.. hehe. It still takes under five minutes to read everything on page 1 that interests me, personally.


Organization's nice though... as such I'd really like seeing Civ-specific subforums. Like a subforum entirely dedicated to each choice. As long as Kael checked them for feedback.

Selected from up to March 2007 and I am over. :D

Too many subforums (like 1 per civ... 21 total) makes it very annoying to read every post, and in actuality makes it HARDER to find what you want. I think as it stands things are pretty good, though I anticipate very little that belongs in troubleshooting will wind up being posted there, as often those posts are from new people who won't know better :)

You're probably right.

Although we could possibly have a subforum for cuteunit to write all her complaints/suggestions in so that we can have other discussions about FFH :p instead of having to listen to cuteunits opinion on enchantment, archers and their general crappyness, the point of the empyrean, whether axemen should be stronger or weaker then warriors etc. ;)

Although we could possibly have a subforum for cuteunit...

...And two subforums for Kol.7... :p

I'm about done. Thanks it-ogo.

A lot of the older tweaks from previous versions are most likely not worth the transfer, but I did most of them anyhow. As we settle into Shadow more and more playermade stuff should be relevant for a lot longer period of time.

Yes, even if some staff is not updated to the last FFH version it is a source of Inspiration an Hope.

This is great. I've already found several interesting threads I missed in the volume of the main forum.

Also, could my Civilopedia thread (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=258629) remain in the main forum? I'd like it to be visible to new visitors who might not explore the lore forum.

Cool, thanks. Now to add some new features to bump it back up.

The volume in the main forum is good for motivation. ;)

That made me laugh, It-ogo.

Thanks ^^

that should prolly be moved to modmods forum, thought i saw it there before, surprised to see it back in the main forum heh

Well, right now there isn't a modmod forum, just a Map & Scenario suborum that says it is also for mini-mods and tweaks. Personally I'd rather have the modmods and tweaks in a separate subforum, but it isn't a big deal.
