Well this is a little game I picked up from the Rome: Total War; Roma Surrectum forums so respect to the other civilization strategy games out there.
the original thread
Rules
- These rules are not set in stone, nor have I studied the fine qualities of a sophisticated and matured forum game. If you have ideas for implementations or rule changes, send me a message (preferably) or post in the forums with purple.
- Every even round will be a special round. Votes are counted either on the forums in teal or through a message to me (preferably). After a winner is decided, the winning vote is reset to zero and the other votes are carried over to the next vote. You may vote once for each round.
- Each faction starts with 3 points
- Each user can vote by adding 1 point to one faction they like and subtracting 1 point from another faction
- You vote by copying the latest list and altering the factions' you're voting for points (it'd be nice if you could also highlight the ones you voted for; see color scheme below)
- After 5 votes since your last vote, OR 12 hours after your last vote (morning and night is fine. I won't stickle over a 2 hour difference)
- When there are only 10 factions or less left, the -1 point will become -3 to speed the game up. However, +1 will not become +3 This is called the World War
- During the World War, you need only wait for 3 votes, or 6 hours, before making your vote!
- When only 1 faction remains, it is declared winner
- I prefer the Honor System. If there is evidence you are creating accounts for extra votes, we will deride you. Stay classy.
- During the World War, if a faction has less than 3 when you attack them, you may use the remaining points to subtract from another
-If a post was ignored, just make a correction to the score sheet and color the corrections purple along with the post number that was ignored. (This does not count against your vote count)
-If you could denote certain choices and messages by color it would be helpful
Color Guide:
Purple= Correction to score or suggested change in rules (for rule change, just bloody message me)
Red=subtraction
Green=addition
Orange=vassalization (NEW! Currently only for Victorian Era)
Starting Scores and Factions:
Or message me about film, food, politics, philosophy, or DoC ideas; I love discussion. And you know, if you're feeling down, know I'm one person in the world who will give you unconditional love.

~Faction Wars~
(Posting funny or epic videos after a victory will be added in potentially)
~Round 1~
United Socialist Soviet Republics
~Round 2~
Early Modern Age Themed
The Name is Britain...
~Round 3~
China!
~Round 4~
(Roman Republic themed!)
Some factions start with different starting points
UP: Rome may attack twice on the same vote until the -3 round, in which it can only attack once and for -2
The Ostrogoths! (Poland)
~Round 5~
The Moors!
~Round 6~
(Dark Ages!)
UP: The Power of Empires
When a faction gets to 10, they get +2 and -2. During the -3 round, it is +2 and -4. (Some factions get renamed when they become an empire, such as the Holy Roman Empire) Mark a nation as an empire by putting a ☩ in front
UP: The Holy See
The Papal States can only be attacked by Empires. However, the Papal States can attack whoever.
Byzantine Empire!
~Round 7~
The Vikings!
~Round 8~
Victorian Era Themed!
UP: The Colonial Powers
☩Empires☩ may attack for -2 and gain +2.
☩Empire☩ may vassalize factions with 1 or 2 points on their vote instead of lowering their points
Factions that are not empires nor vassals may vassalize factions with 2 or 1 points as well (to make it easier for them to become empires)
If a Vassal gets more points than its master, it is freed
Vassals can attack anyone besides their master
Nations become ☩Empires☩ if they gain a vassal
Nobody can attack vassals
Therefore, factions cannot be destroyed. Only vassalized
During the World War ("10 faction round") (which begins when there is only empires and vassals), vassals may attack for -2 and +2
In progress!
~Round 9~
~Round 10~
(Era themed! Please send me a vote on a theme! Don't be shy!)
Nomadic Age - 1 vote (There can only be ONE!)
Mongol Invasion - 1 vote (Insanely strong invaders)
Age of Exploration - 4 votes (Strong colonialists)
~Winners~
