Shattered
Mar 21, 2008, 03:09 PM
The Coalition.
I am Shattered, Enlightened One of the Philosophers,I have been tasked with forming a basis on which we may spread our Knowledge wide and far. I have worked tirelessly with my brothers on an idea to unite our tribe and seek a brighter tommorow. I ventured to the Church Of Giruvegan, seeking consul. I came across two important people, an Atlantean leader, and a Warlord ambassador. Inviting both the Atlantian leader, and the Warlord ambassador into our hall, we have negotiated a way of governance acceptable to all our interests. We shall unite under one flag, bringing our different Ways of living together, to lead our tribe across the plains, and to a better existance.
We have accepted an alliance with both the Warlords, and the Atlanteans. The provisions of the alliance are as follows.
We have granted the Atlanteans the right to control all religious aspects of our government. They have the right to spread religion and faith throughout the lands. They will also recieve a city to govern.
We have granted the Warlords the right to control our offensive military armies.They will also be granted the right to control exploratory forces. The warlords will be given their own city to govern.
We have chosen Alexander to lead us through the ages. His aggressiveness shall aid us in times of glory, and his logic shall carry us to the highest echelons of power.
(OOC:Aggressive: Free Combat I promotion of melee and gunpowder units. Double production speed of Barracks and Drydock. Philosophical: Great People birth rate increased 100 percent. Double production speed of University.)
Philosophers of the Legion Platform
Fellow citizens, never in the history of democracy games has there being a faction like The Philosophers of Legion. We are a well rounded faction that will appeal to many. We will succeed, because not only do we represent the wants of our faction, but the wants and needs of our nation. We welcome the opinions and concerns of all. From blood thirsty mercenaries to the most high priest, everyone will have their moment, their time. We plan frequent polls and threads to discuss national interests.
Our main goals as the prime faction is to establish a well placed capital that well be developed to help start at least one or two more cities in our term. We plan on at least having one scout exploring our surroundings. We also want found a religion that we can rename and appropriate to the Church of Giruvegan. We want to build an army big enough to fulfill simple enough functions such as escorting settlers or guarding cities and workers as well as provide for a common defense. Everything we do, we do to provide a good, solid foundation for our civilization.
Faction Government
The head of our faction is the Enlightened One. Currently that is our creator Shattered. He makes all the final calls, and delegates tasks and decisions among our faction. He also decides what wonders we build. Under him we have several departments we call Ways. Each Way is lead by a leader appointed by the Enlightened One.
The Way of the People: Led by Ballazic. The Follower of the Way of the People controls capital city production, workers, city placement, and tile usage.
The Way of the Pure Order: Led by Rex. The Follower of the Way of Pure Order determines our faction laws and our national laws when we are in power.
The Way of the Fist: Led by Warlord Faction. The Follower of the Way of the Fist controls offensive military operations (not foreign policy) and exploration. The Follower is also in charge of a city intended for military production.
The Way of the Shield: Led by Churchill. The Follower of the Way of the Shield is in charge of our military defense, such as defense of our cities and non-military units (workers, great people, settlers, etc.).
The Way of the Zodiark: Led by Church of Giruvegan: The Follower of the Way of the Zodiark is in charge of the religious aspects of our nation. This Follower controls missionaries, and Great Prophets. This Way also controls cultural and religious expansion .
Way of the Spoken Word: Led by Blastoid. The Follower of the Way of the Spoken Word is in charge of foreign diplomacy and espionage. This includes deals and trades with foreign entities. This Follower is also in charge of inter-faction diplomacy.
Turn Play
We plan on having at least 10 turns done a week. We want to play at least 50 turns during the first term.
We as a faction want our nation to be the most glorious. Only together can we do that. Let us unite. Let us succeed.

However, should a fourth faction pledge allegiance to the Church of Giruvegan,
approved by the Zodiak of Giruvegan and the Grand Mystic of Atlantis (Strider), the Enlightened One (Shattered)

This is our platform, as well as our claim to run in the election. The factions underneath Philosopher rule will post their own platforms on their powers. Sorry about this taking so long. It took alot of organization to get this all prepared. Glory to the Philosophers!
[EDIT] I would also ask for the endorsements of both Strider and NZL, to publicly cement the coalition. Also, this is all flexible, as we do not trap ourselves in a system. Changes can be made, so we shall keep you all updated.
