Hey fellow Civfanatics,

I've been a player and somewhat embarrassingly, a lurker as well for some time. I see that the current trend within the scope of Civilization V seems to be more participatory stories with players actively helping shape the story. I'm not at all opposed to this, but rather I wished to see everybody's current perspective on me potentially playing and documenting a Civilization V game in the ways of zeeterus or Vanadorn.

If you're not entirely certain of the names, head to the Civilization III stories forum and acquaint yourself. They've taken the game of Civilization and wound compelling stories, character development and textbook flavor into something never thought possible. I was hoping to emulate this with a game of my own, but would rather probe the active viewers to find their interest, as I've little desire to write a story and post screenshots for self-enjoyment.

Let me know your thoughts and I'll gratefully comment on them.

Thank you!

Sounds like it could be an interesting concept.I'll probably follow if you wish to do this.

Edit:Oh, and welcome to the forums!
 
I've never really seen Civ5 as all that good for immersion, at least with the base game, but with the Religion now allowed it has a lot more potential. It would be nice to see what someone could do with all that. So by all means, shock us if you can :) good luck.
 
I appreciate the few voices that have come and answered!

I've some finals to study for, but come the middle of the week I will most definitely start this grandiose adventure! Thanks for your important feedback, everyone!
 
I understand that you don't want to waste time and effort if nobody wants to read a story like that, but nonetheless it is kinda silly to ask. Even if your story wasn't that great, a ton of fans would read it and enjoy it. The site is called civfanatics for a reason, after all :-) and if you put a little effort into it and have natural skill, I'm sure your story will become very popular! Good luck.
