Civ 5 narrative project

[Dino Sauro]

Hi all,

I'm new to the forum and I write you to know what do you think about an idea I had.
It's a narrative project involving Civ 5: the thing is I would start a multiplayer hotseat game playing all the 22 civs on a huge map, epic speed game.

Doing so I would like to narrate the history of an alternate humanity through the different ages.

I would use the civs not to play a Civ-efficient game, but according to their ideals and characteristics (civs would be custom, at least in the names).

I will then write regular posts on a dedicated blog, telling what's happening not as a list of event, but in a "narrative" way.

Well, that's it... I'd like to know what do you think about it!

If you can find the players that is an awesome idea!

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear... the "peculiar" thing in the idea is that I would play all of the 22 civilizations. Something like an omniscient narrator.
Obviously this would require some rules: eg. one civ couldn't set a defence against an attacking army unless its units spotted the incoming enemy units and so on.

Well that sounds even more interesting. I would definitely be interested in reading a tale where all the characters are the same person.
