JNES: Civilizations

[Jason The King]

Introduction

Okay, so I guess the first thing I should do is welcome you to another JNES, quite possibly the last one I will ever mod since I am getting older and have already gravitated away from this forum (the past 8 or so months I have had little to no activity here). I do wish to mod one last NES, sort of closing my time here and to say goodbye.

With that said, this NES will be keeping in line with the type of NES I have modded the most and the type that has been, at least for me as the mod, the most fun. That is, this NES is a fresh start, world map, with simplified rules (at least compared to the rulesets I have seen around here lately). That is not to say that it is not “realistic.” Really, it is as realistic as you want it to be. While I will provide most of the events (civil wars, outcomes for battles, the normal things in a story NES) it is up to you to make it fun, worth while and realistic for yourself.

Okay, so the preliminary settings: you may start wherever you want on the map. I encourage to group around each other (starting in the middle of Siberia or Tierra del Fuego is allowed, but I encourage to settle where there are already other people) and fictional civilizations are even more so encouraged. By that I mean try to make your own culture, your own people. Just because we are using an earth map doesn’t mean you can’t be creative. That means your own civilization name, too.

The rules are evolutionary. They will evolve to represent the circumstances in the game. When trade becomes more important, I will add some concrete trade rules. When the industrial age comes, you can bet there will be a production stat. But for now they are rather simple. If you want to know specific things about your civilization (like what is the primary crop grown, the biggest trade asset, etc) please feel free to ask me or, if you use good judgment, make it yourself.

As for the update schedule, since updates will not be as big, nor fancy as many other modders nowadays, I should be able to update two times a week, sometimes more, and on busy weeks most certainly less. But I do intend to keep this a fast paced game. That said, I will be in London at the end of this week for about three days, but that shouldn’t seriously hinder the update progress.

Okay, so I guess that does it for introductions. The rules for this NES are as follows.

 

[Jason The King]

JNES RULES, V. 2.0

This is the second version of for the JNES: Civilization game, built for the world of 500 b.c.e. You will find I have added a lot more depth to some of the rules, though the fundamental philosophy of the NES remains in place: ultimate flexibility is given to the players to do what they wish, and build a nation of their liking, a history of their creation. The mod is supposed to play a limited role with these rules, giving ultimate creative license to the players. That means the updates are to be shorter, and stories should be longer . Do not be afraid to write, all stories are welcome.

Economy and Military

While I still want the economy to be focused on creativity and openness, I am introducing more standard, modern rules, based off of EQ’s rules for A Brave New World. They are a bit different, so even players of his game should read through.

Your economy will be divided into three stats: trade, public spending, and military. Each has a different impact on your country. You have a base economic point income, under the economy stat, that you can then decide how to divide among these three sub categories.

Trade

Investing in the trade category is perhaps one of the most important decision regarding your economy. While your economy can surely grow without trade, by means of population growth, war, etc. it grows more quickly and more often through the exchange of goods and services with other nations. When you invest in trade, you are funding small, autonomous trade missions to your neighboring countries and along any major trade route you may be connected to. The more income invested into trade, the more it can grow. Beware, if you center completely on trade, your economy may sky rocket but it remains vulnerable, susceptible to the whims of your trading partners and access to trade routes.

Trade EP can also be used to fund major trade expeditions. These are expeditions that will cross oceans, continents, and mountains to reach strange and foreign lands in hopes that they will buy what you bring and sell what you want. You can invest in a Trade Mission by saying so in your orders, and clearly plotting the route and destination of your caravan. If you want to get more specific, you can also state what you want to sell and buy. A minimum cost for an expedition is 5 trade EP, though that is with just the bare essentials, offering little protection for the mission and carrying a small load to be traded. You can expect to earn minimal, if not usually breaking even, from a mission funded with only 5 EP. Your best bet is to save up. You can save a portion of your trade EP by saying so, and it will be shown as a [bracketed] number next to your normal trade EP.

Remember, if you spend too much on trade missions and neglect the normal maintenance of your regional trade, than you risk weakening your economy and losing out on home trade.

Public Spending

These EP represent your investment to the building of new and up keeping of old public works projects such as temples, great structures, roads, education facilities, markets, harbors, etc. This category really has an all-encompassing aura, since it touches all aspects of your economy. With little public spending, you can expect the defenses of your country (walls, forts, towers, etc) will be sub-par and sparse. Likewise, the neglecting of markets and roads will hurt your trade.

This is also where you get your EP to spend on upgrading your infrastructure and education stats. You can only upgrade those stats using EP from this category. Be sure to leave enough each turn to upkeep your current stuff. If you are a highly developed civilization, you will need more upkeep than a more rural and land-based country.

Military

Like the other stats, the military category refers to both the amount of spending points you have to put towards your military as well as the upkeep of those forces. The larger your force, or the more trained and well-equipped your force, the more upkeep you will have to spend.

To increase the size of your force, you may purchase men, their price listed on the front page. You will also notice a quality stat now, replacing the morale stat. This stat is not able to be directly upgraded by you, but reflects the amount of upkeep you spend on the soldiers, how much experience they have, their culture, where they come from (mercenaries, slaves?), how fast you recruit them (recruiting too much at one time will have an adverse effect) among other factors.

Your army, you will find, is divided into four, sometimes five, different types. The men category is the regular standing army, made from the same people who govern you nation. So if you are Troy, these men are Trojans who fight for you. They are generally you’re best fighters, though that can vary. They are also susceptible to rebelling if they don’t agree with your motives or actions. The next segment is the mounted forces of your nation, pretty much the same as your regulars but on horses. The next category are your slaves. These are the most loyal of your troops, and are made up of those you capture in war or you trade for. They are not your own slaves of your own people. They are also the weakest of fighters, though the cheapest. The last are the most expensive. Mercenaries come from foreign places as well, and can come from either civilized nations or the barbarians on your fringes. For example, most of Troy’s mercenaries are Scythian horsemen from Scythia (also as a consequence most her slaves come from the same place). They can range from your best fighters to just barely as good as your regular men, depending on where they come from. They are the least loyal, susceptible to leaving whenever they want.

Prices for increasing your soldiers are as follows:

Footmen, the regular fighting force of your nation. Quality: Medium. Upkeep: Medium High. Cost: 2EP per 500.
Horsemen, regular mounted soldiers. Quality: Medium. Upkeep: High. Cost: 1 EP per 200.
Slaves, loyal foreigners forced to fight for you. Quality: Very Poor. Upkeep: Low. Cost: 1 EP per 500.
Mercenaries, everything depends on where you get them from (neighbor, nearby barbarians, etc). Ask me where you want/where they are available from, and I will tell you how much and their strength. Typical mercenaries for regions, though, are as follows. If you are on the fringes of these regions, or want to know other options, contact me.


Western North America:
Saskies of Saskatchewan, light footmen, poor quality, low upkeep, cost: 1 EP per 400
Navajo Warriors, light footmen, medium quality, low upkeep, cost: 1 EP per 200
Lakota Horsemen, light and quick horsemen, good quality, low upkeep, 1 EP per 100.

Eastern North America/Caribbean
Mohegan Warriors, medium footmen, medium quality, medium upkeep, cost: 1 EP per 450.
Cherokee Warriors, heavy footmen, good quality, high upkeep, cost: 1 EP per 200.
Taino Pirates, skilled trireme force, great quality, high upkeep, cost: 1 EP per Trireme.
Carib Warriors, skilled light footmen, great quality, high upkeep, cost: 1 EP per 150.
Lakota Horsemen, skilled light horsemen, good quality, low upkeep, 1 EP per 100.

Rest still to come.

Special Cities

On the map you will notice some cities are outlined in red or blue. The red cities indicate a city with a high volume of trade, whether its from trade missions or local trade, or perhaps part of a long trade route. These cities give you +1 extra trade EP, and will be noted as a + (however many you have) next to your trade stat. Likewise, blue cities are cultural centers, and do the same but with your public spending stat. These are re-occurring, every turn you get the extra bonus. It can count towards funding of expansion (upgrading infrastructure/education or funding trade missions) or serve as upkeep, thus freeing up other EP to be re-allocated to military.

Changing Eps

If you change EP between one category and the other without an increase, you may suffer adverse reactions from your population. For example, if you income EP remains steady at 5, but you decide to move one EP from public spending to military, your population may get angry and revolt due to lack of attention given to their problems, or you may see the degradation of your infrastructure/education stats. Don’t do it often.

Golden Ages

Golden Ages are still a part of these rule sets. Your nation enters a golden age when it enters a period of great growth, either economic, cultural, or geographic, etc. When you enter a golden age, you will see an asterisk near your nation’s name in the stats. A golden age gives you +5 income EP to do so what you wish each turn. You are not allowed to use it as upkeep, but you can use it towards building a new project, trade missions, upgrading stats, etc. In other words, they are “wild EPs” and can be used for anything expect upkeep. They last about 1 or 2 turns.


Other Stats


Government

Government in this NES is important, just as in my past NESs. In a government where you (the executive) must share power, I reserve the right to act as that other body of government, just as I represent the people of your nation. That means they can block some of your orders, add new ones, or change some. Different governments have different advantages and disadvantages. Specifically, they are I would hope obvious enough.

Religion

Religion is until some major and important religion is found, paganism for every civilization. Religion can be both an advantage to a civilization and a burden.

[Population

Population is a stat that gauges how many people live in your nation relative to the rest of the world. This is NOT just based upon the number of cities you have (though it may sometimes look like that). A nation can have a ton of people, but not very many living in cities. A high population can mean a stronger economy, though it can also mean heavier revolts, more strain on your infrastructure, etc.

Stability

The stability of your civilization is based on your people’s approval of your leadership, which weighs heavily on your economy, policies, wars, etc. It also takes into account foreigners you have conquered and how rebellious they are, etc. Keep an eye on this stat. Don’t let it get too bad les you want to fight a civil war.

Infrastructure

Your civilization will indeed need good if its economy is to grow, its troops to move quickly, and its people to be fed and multiply. Spend points on this to grow it.

None-Dirt Paths-Pathetic-Barely Tolerable-Tolerable-Improving-Good-Efficient-Very Efficient-Great-Excellent

Education

Education is a stat that reflects, yes you guessed it, the education of your people. Better education means quicker age advancements, and more susceptible to discovering something revolutionary (sails, currency, gunpowder, automobile, etc). A highly educated populace, though, has its drawbacks. If you are an authoritarian state, the educated may push for freedom and liberty. They may also protest your policies. For the most part though a higher educated populace is normally a good thing.

[Jason The King]

Yes of course you can create your own religion .

And if you want a starting navy, the you may substitute your army for it. 100 men will give you 5 boats. The boats are not more than small galleys of the most simplistic type, and have trouble even navigating near the coast.

I do want to post the first update tomorrow, so i can get one in on Friday as well before i leave for London for a few days. There are no orders necessary for this update, but a little description of what kind of culture your people are, or anything important to know about, would be nice.

And expect to interact with both OTL civilizations and fictional ones.

EDIT: The map will be of the standard earth sort. I am having trouble uploading it (easy upload is down). If it is still down by the time the update comes I will use photobucket.

 

[Justo]

The Halash people are good farmers mainly focusing on grains and other crops. They have limited skills in Animal Husbandry but are improving in this area. They worship many gods although their most beloved god is the god of the weather Aero since they rely so heavily on good weather to be able to survive and expand. They are similar to Eastern Europeans.

If you want me to add more than this just say and i'll edit this post.

 

[Jason The King]

Thats fine Justo, its whatever you want to say.

As for the map again, I'm thinking of using North King's newest one, the real big one. It does have some minor awkwardness though concerning around the Mongolia and western US areas. And it is rather large. What are people's thoughts on this? By north kings, I mean the one in this thread: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=259721

So I've narrowed it down to either the one above, or one of the two I've managed to post here.So these are teh choices:

1. North King's map here http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=259721

2.
