All other games - reorganization

[The_J]

We are planning to reorganize the area where we have all the non-civ games, and have some a proposal, for which we'd like to get your thoughts on it.
The section is getting a bit long, therefore we would like to condense it a bit.

The proposed outline is the following:
Other Games
- Millennia
- Other Paradox Games
- Humankind
- Old World
- AC
- Total War
- Chess
- Other Firaxis or "civ" Games
- All Other Games

Games Played Here
- Forum Games
- IOT
- Mafia/NOTW
- Never Ending Stories

Other current forums on the main level (such as Humankind C&C or Old World C&C) will be made subforums of their respective main forums.
The Chess and TW forums get promoted back to the main level, for consistency.
The forum games and similar forums get their own category.

This would seem to make the most sense right now, but we'd welcome some more input.


Notice to @Solver @Dale @PDX Firefly @Catoninetales_Amplitude so that you don't miss this.

Sounds good. here is another idea.
rename "Other civ related games" to "other 4x games" since this is the term most people use these days (category in steam, subreddit, etc.), then move old world etc. to subforums of it.
Like this:

Other 4x games
- Millennia
- Old World
- Humankind
- AC
(maybe ara or similar games in the future if they spark a lot of discussion)

Other Games
- Chess
- Total War
- Paradox Games (renamed from other paradox games)
- All Other Games

Games Played Here
- Forum Games
- IOT
- Mafia/NOTW
- Never Ending Stories

We've had a bit of a discussion there, and in principle I would like to have a subforum dedicated to the games which are more relevant for us (like historical turnbased 4X), but that might be a bit complicated to sort out from our current forum. But there would also be a need to somehow separate the games which are in the Sid-forum right now (like Pirates), for which we have quite some threads actually, and where we can place thread for the original Colonization, FreeCiv, FreeCol and similar games (so very tightly civ-related). And maybe also X-COM and Midnight-suns. So we thought about a separate forum for these, without separating all the rest.
I'm not sure if there's a good way to make a coherent separation there, but we can try.

It seems there are no major objections, therefore I'll see if I can maybe make these changes over the weekend.

I've shuffled around some things.
Please let me know if you encounter any issues.
