Warlord
I want to create a combination of a sucession, diplo, and timeline game. how? simple:
the Diplo part will be rather simple. you must try, atelast, to create an empire that is similar to the one you are emplating. EXAMPLE, if you are emulating the USSR, dont build a city near paris, instead, build one near Vladivostok.
the Timeline part is also simple. just write down certian things that happen during your reign, also, make a copy of the map so people can see where cities are/where, and where certian events happened.
the sucession part will be rather intreating, here are a few suggestions.
I would like 5 players, me plus 4. here is why.
we can play one of 2 ways. Republican, or Communistic
Communistic is the simple way that most people are used to. each player will get a time, say 20 turns, that he will rule the nation for. this is simple, but I would PREFER to aviod this if at all possible. it makes the game bland sometimes, as events that may require a certian player {a good general for war, a good economist in times of depression} may never see that player.
Republican is when the players will tell thier abilities, and when events happen, the player that is needed will take over. there will be limits to ensure that 1 player does not dominate the game. each time will coorispond to a king or kings. the player will, for timelines sake, make up the name of thier king. the timeline might look like this
cycle of Dan-Bill-Mike-Ken
Dan-King Charles II 20 turns
Bill-King James IV 19 turns
Dan-Queen Sarah 7 turns {driung war}
Mike-King Booze XXX 22 turns
Ken-King Kennith III 21 turns
Dan-King Garth 13 turns {to make up for the war time}
so in addition to a good timeline, and game, we should have an authentic looking list of monarchs. to add spice, when in a democratic government, we can each be a political party.
if anyone is intrested in this, with MGE, then contact me ASAP. its my first sucession game BTW, and I would prefer to play it on king or emeperor leavel.
further details can be worked out when we have the players assembled
