Basileus, Founding Father
Magna Carta of the Inlightened Imperialist Party
Our Mascot PIP
Please only post if you are a member or wish to become a member. The pun in the title in intentional. Time to learn about the goals and purpose of the Inlightened Imperialist Party. The Inlightened Imperialist Party is not a political party in the fashion of US/British parties who have a stand on everything. We are more of a group of citizens who seek to reach our goals. You do not have to agree with us to join. We welcome debate so if you disagree join and try to change our minds, we are open minded here. No one who joins will be tolded who or what to vote for. You do NOT have to agree to the following goals to join. No one can be forced out of the Party, unless they are banned from the Demogame.I. Our goals are as follows:
- To monopolize as many resources as possible.
- To have all the Holy Cities whether by research or force of arms.
- To bring every Civilization possible under the sway of our religion.
- To own all strategically important cities.
- To police the world.
- To only go to war when absolutely necessary.
- Be elected Secretary General of the UN.
- To win by any means necessary that does not sacrifice honor.
- To be proactive to hunt down barbarians and take their cities.
- The more resources we have monopoly over the more power we have over trades.
- The more Holy Cities the more gold and LOS.
- Helps relations and more money if we hold the Holy City of the Religion.
- Cities that are on a one tile isthmus between two bodies of water, cities on important islands, Holy Cities, and cities with wonders in them belong to us; we just need to help the AI realize this.
- We need to do our best to keep peace in the world between the different AIs. This is important because any small brushfire war can escalate through alliances in to a major World War; this is how World War One happened. The exception is when we find it necessary for a region to become destabilized we should start wars between the AIs.
- War costs money and drain the economy. It should not be entered into lightly.
- We need to be the Secretary General so we can keep votes from happening if we need to.
- Is self explanatory.
- The barbarians will come for us, but to keep the damage to our develped infrastructure at a minimum we must take the fight to them. Also we will not take barbarian cities until they are at least size 2 so we can keep them.
