I've been away for a bit so I haven't been able to update my civ list, but I'll try to get some work on it done before 2029
No problem, I plan to stick around till this is done, (as long as it is done before Obama's first term) then I'll reinstall civilization on my comp and play it
So keep up the goooooooooodddddddddddddwwwwwwoooooorrrrrkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.
Now, now the reply to Ideologies, I would post it in CivJ but... What the hack? ... hmmm I think I'll post it there too
Here there will be more people to give their opinions on the subject since there's so little traffic in the main forums
Ideologies, the way I see it is that they spread almost the same as a religion would
First the bearer of that ideology would approach another and attempt to convert them to that ideology, if successful that leader would go on to convert the people to that ideology, however, even if the masses of people refuse it the government will still be whatever that ideology the leader converted to.
In my suggestion of Ideologies in the game:
Ideologies can be founded more then once by different civilizations.
Like in the US, it's government is capitalist, but communism founded itself there back in the 1900s, and was fed by soviet communism, but eventually it was crushed by the capitalist government, in this case I see it happening like this: America researched communism, which founded itself in the nation, which then the Union sent 'covet' advocates to fuel the ideology, but because America loves capitalism, they sent 'care takers' to abolish the communist ideas in America.
With the spreading around the world, I see it going something like this, communism was founded in Russia, and maybe other European countries around the same time, and quickly adopted by Russia into a Communist society, from there it spread throughout Europe and in many cases adopted by the countries, in many cases influenced by Russian politics, and from there it past through to their colonies around the world, like Angola and Hong Kong. Every where communism went Russia was likely close behind, any country that had not seen communism in their lands, that Russia had interest in, Russia would send advocates to convince them, with both the laying out of such ideologies and by political pressure. Capitalism took the same route, pushed by America and their allies to counter their fear of communism. These ideologies clashed, wherever communism and capitalism spread together blood was spilled, even when only one spread to a region, the nations standing ideology would clashed with the new idea. Nations like Vietnam where communism and capitalism was spread by both the Union and the States, a war broke out between the capitalist and communist, the government picked communism but extremist backed by the States fought for capitalism, the nation was in war till communism was crushed.
But in my eyes, this follows the path of religions and how they spread, and the wars that followed them. In Kongo, Portugal converted the King to Christianity, this was done through politics, but the people stayed with their own belief and their own religion, in my opinion, this would be how ideologies spread, in Angola, the government took communism but capitalism was also there. This is all just my opinion, though, so...
@Gooblah: I can't see why the Barter System would cause unhappiness, I'm thinking a totally different effect for the Barter System. IMO. But good job
@Religions: I can't take a vote. I don't want to go back into all of it, and maybe A would be better in-game.
@Mongolia/Kevinman: Are you really going to have Mongolia and the Golden Horde as separate civilizations?
Kevinman: I see you updated the civ list a bit. Which I think I'll post a reply to on the Civ Junction forum later, but... Just my two cents on two things that caught my eye, first: Ethiopia, I don't see how one of their preferred religions could be Muslim when they fought wars to keep Islam from taking over when the Kingdoms around them were converting.
That is really, In my opinion, a slap in the face to the brave warriors that died to keep Ethiopia true to it's OWN religion. Second, again there is a difference in Arabian Egypt and the Kingdom of Egypt, I mean, yes I know that the Egyptians didn't have precisely the same culture of southern Africa, but... well... They weren't Muslims... And I would think that their Government type would be, I don't know, dynastic rule...

Well, on Emissaries, in civ rev units can go through boarders without making contact. Contact is made when the unit sees another unit or city and then the unit is kicked out of the civs boarders, don't know if this will help any...
However, I don't know how the right-clicking(or whatever) sending emissaries would work.. .And I don't know of any modcomps or mods that do this, sorry
And again I know I should have posted this in CivJ but, oh well.......
. .
And I have a UP for America and Mongolia, what do you think?. .
Mongolia - Up: Power of the Horde > All mounted units come 25% faster and start with two exp point.. .
. .
USA - UP: Patriotism > -25% Unhappiness from all forced government actions. (Such as rush buying, wars, etc...)
Anyways, keep the good work up after you come back from your trip.
