Role Play Challenge, The Next Generation Pre-Game thread: Comrad Lenin!

[madscientist]

I have no problems getting close to Mao (hell, what other historical leader would), but I am not sure I am that close. I say some guidlines/rules on how to approach the game, and see where is falls which IS how the Mao Classic evolved.

SO, to reset my thoughts here

Map: a complete random generator one although I will exclude archipelago and Pangea maps
Leader: Frederick of Russia. Philosophical/Organized I think is the best

Guildelines/Rules

1) No state religion, religious buildings or missionaries, Prophet producing Wonders, or religious civics allowed. We will tolerate religions in our cities or captured cities, and Holy Cities may be spared. Consider this religious indifference.

2) A sophiticated Proudction society. FArms/mines early on with a shift towards workshops/watermills/windmills/lumbermills by the end of the game.

3) Civics Banned: HR/US/Vassalage/FS/Slavery/Serfdom/Free Market/Environmentalism/Religious Civics.

4) Spread of State Property through the world. Nothing Capitalistic. No cottages or banks. No merchant Specialists, nor any wonders that produce Great Merchants (thus no Great Lightouse or Colossus). No trade involving gold.

So Mao was about Atheism/State Property/Population/Espionage

Lenin is about Atheism/State Property/Production/Anti-capitalism

Similar but distinctively different.

what about corporations (if the game gets that far). I mean, obviously you wont be starting any but would you be permitted to keep cities that have such monuments to capitalistic greed?

Hey I felt like I had to post to say that I can't wait til you start. It's only my 1st post but I've read quite a lot of RPC from many posters, including many of youes. I loved em all. Especially since I could just go through the threads and read them entirely within like 30 minutes or so.

Now I can't imagine the pain of having to wait for a RPC to develop. Please get it started already and keep up the good work (you and all the other posters who contribute to the forum)

Now those atrocities to civilization MUST be razed if captured!

Hopefully you'll be renaming any city with a religious based name to commie-centric names like stalingrad and leningrad

 

[Pindrus]

This is a great idea! Especially for any foreign cities captured, they must be renamed with an appropriately patriotic and proletariat title!

 

[madscientist]

Good point although after St. Pete I will need some help!

 

[Pindrus]

You could skip the cities named after people and use all the Y-iskutskaburg names first, reserving the Russian hero names for captured cities.

I'm having a hard time seeing philosophical. The Soviet Union wasn't about great people, but the common man.
Otherwise I mostly like the settings

You could also emulate the mass famines by workshopping over masses of farms at some period

As for city names, Saint Petersburg's gotta be renamed to Petrograd.

Also the UN will need to be dealt with to avoid Environmentalism, especially since I plan to go well into the modern era.

Will you have to raze the UN city?

 

[madscientist]

Will you have to raze the UN city?

NO, but I anticapte having to defy a resolution to avoid Environmentalism.

The reason I think Philosophical is a good fit has to do with the way the State kind of took control of the "special" people.
