What wonder and overall strategy should we aim for? I proposed a handful of ancient age plans in this thread: The Wonder Plan and it seems time to vote. Note, this approach will likely allow us to build 1 wonder at the maximum or as likely, zero. Note that we are playing on Emperor and...

I have proposed a bunch of city sites. I think they all look good. This poll shall determine where our next settler is placed. Please consider the following, among your own reasons for where to best place city #2. - Access to food - Access to resources and luxuries - Access to coastline...

I have appointed FionnMcCumhall to be the Domestic Department chat rep. I hope he can help our department out in the early going since the Domestic Dept can use some extra help. All we need is an approval poll to pass to officially recognize him. Please cast your vote. Thanks, cp...

This is an informational poll for the citizens to help the Domestic Department place cities. Question: In general, how many spaces between cities should we use early on? By early on, I mean the first several cities or so around the capital. (i.e. not at the end of the game, but now and in...

Right now, I think we could use a plan. A good plan. I didn't want to consider much about which wonders to build since we don't have the resources to build them yet. But if we don't plan ahead, we'll definitely miss out. Plus, knowing where we want to head will affect our science queue...

I'm trying to come up with some sort of consensus on what we should do on the next turn chat and the discussion has been quite scattered and perhaps hasty and based on a lot of speculation. Here is my proposal and we can put it to a vote, I hope. Turn 0 Worker/Settler 1. Refer to the...

How shall we define our provinces? A few proposals so far: Growing Capital Province Our governor now takes control over every city that we build. The province grows until a certain size (# cities) and then a new province is designed as needed and so on... Variant A: Provinces start...

Again, in a premature way, but important nonetheless, I'd like to discuss early city placement strategy. As soon as we have scouted a bit, we should know better what our options are. This thread will be open for many turns, I hope. I encourage participation, discussion, and proposals for city...

I'd like to start debate on the science and entertainment sliders. What is the best way to use them early? Obviously, we'll know more once a save is in our hands but I'd like to get a kick start on this. I've seen a few strategies work. Perhaps you have your own to add. Remember we are on...

Welcome to the Domestic Department thread. Please use this thread wisely and ask anything regarding Domestic Affairs for this term. Domestic Leader - chiefpaco Domestic Deputy - Chieftess Chat Representative - FionnMcCumhall Fanatika is so very young and the Domestic Department wants...

Here is an example of my own civ fending off espionage missions vs. the French all in one game. I don't think I've seen so many attempts in one game before. Note, I was in a Republic. The French were a Democracy. First, fending off a propaganda attack! Second, the thievery...

I'd like to discuss anything we can do to refine the Turn Chat itself here. I think it was a controversial point of game 1. Any ideas on how to improve it (other than making them optional, there's already a thread on that)? Here is one part that I think should go: The "Over-riding spot...

BCLG asked me yesterday who can run for President in the next game and I wasn't sure. Here, I'd like to discuss the eligibility rule for term 1 of next game. Especially since our government seems to still be (for some reason) active. From the Code of Standards, Section G: Is this now the...

I thought I would open a thread to help bridge the two terms of Foreign Affairs Leadership. Since I am the Advisor for today and tomorrow, and Ehecatl Atzin takes the helm on August 1st for the next turn chat, I figured I would open a thread anyway. Thanks all for the great term, BTW. A few...

I've read quite a few threads here where I very much sympathize with the biggest problems with Civ3 and major gripes. Yet I think there is one big problem with the game that encompasses a lot of the major gripes. Civ3 is just not that user friendly. An analogy: Civ3 is like playing war...

Currently, we use Council Votes to resolve certain issues and I think this is quite undemocratic. Here is a partial list I compiled from the Constitution (current copy here: The Constitution of Phoenatica) - Over-riding Turn Instructions from the Turn Instructions thread - Ammending the...

In FA news, Greece have been eliminated by the mighty Zulu nation. Shaka is restless with his military and we should keep our borders sealed tight. A few Zulu Frigates have been spotted in our waters near Kashmir claiming to be fishing boats... Our gift of horses to Rome expires in 3 turns...
