The Egyptian Republic: a Democracy Game
Inspired by the Civ 3 Stories and Tales section, I will be starting a new game(My Enerjakphoria seems to have levelled off a bit, so I'll have to retire Grandfather of All Monsters). I will play the standard Rhye's Map, but with a twist: starting locations are randomised on a world map. The map has also been adjusted so the Americas have a fair share of civs(9); this takes away Europe's tech dominance.
Note that the Democracy Game qualifier does not apply at the start! See below.
I will play as the Egyptians, Agricultural, Cultural, and Industrious. There are a few rules however, that will govern my behavior, and they are as follows:
-Democratic Tradition: Barring the first few turns, I must be in Republic, Constitutional Monarchy, or Democracy at all times if they are available
-Democratic Peace Theory: I can only declare war on non-liberal nations(Despotates, Absolute Monarchies, Communists, Fascists, Feudalists, Theocrats) and can only sign MPPs with liberal regimes. Oligarchic Republics, Constitutional Monarchies, and Democratic Republics are to be befriended; I can only fight with them if they attack me, and I cannot intentionall provoke wars.
-Democracy Game: Upon the change to Oligarchic Republic, you - the readers - become the elites, able to dictate actions of the state. A Constitution will be crafted at this moment, dictating what you can/cannot do. In other words, you will be able to approve/disapprove of wars, trades, etc. Exactly how that democracy works (i.e. whether only a limited number of readers vs. every single reader can vote) will change as well.
To begin this evening; first, there is dinner.
