    What yaroslav and I figured would be a good idea (just to get things set up, there can always be changes)would be to simulate something in the Israeli political system. Since in Israel a person cannot be in politics and in the military at the same time, we figured we would do that here. Basically, every political party has a list ranking their members of who goes to the knesset in what order in case they win seats in the election. The percentage of votes gotten is the percentage of seats that party wins in the knesset, so the members on their list are put as members of knesset in numberical order. If you want to be in the IDF either don't join a political party (you still of course get to vote) or join a party but make sure you are one of the last people on the list, so that in case your party does win a chunk of the seats in the knesset you will not be selected as a member of knesset. Most people will not end up in the knesset but rather in the IDF, so your chances of making it there if you are less than third on your party's list are very good.

      • Great, thank you EMU...but what exactly is the IDF? What role will they play in this game? What are the duties, privileges for a member of the IDF?

        • IDF=Israeli Defense Force

          I would imagine that the generals in the IDF would command the military in certain areas of Palestine, for example: the egyptian front, the golan heights, the jerusalem area, etc, etc.

          Check out the Red Front demo game forum, the stavka thread for a working example of this.


          EDIT: I was number 11 today to pm Dan

            Well, one thing we must remember is that at the beginning of the scenario, the IDF doesn't exist yet. what exists is a large paramilitary organization, the Haganah, and a couple of what would some call terrorist groups. ( I really don't want to get into this debate). The army is still not separated from the political leadership. I mean, the military doesn't take part in forming the general strategy of the jewish population, but there are no ranks, only roles, etc. I'd say that the military commanders in the game should control parts of the map, and hold them under their responsibility. OTOH, it may cause confusion and create a lack of a well-directed strategy.

            • Yeah, that sounds cool. I'd like to join the IDF, or the Haganah, or simply be a settler with a Tommy if that's all I can be.

                  OOPS!

                  I didn't see this post.

                  I would look at the Red Front Demo Game. I assume this will be played very similar to that.

                  Several Front Commanders defending and attacking from there fronts, and an over all commander to start and finish a turn.

                  Then certain ministers in a Knesset to control economics and other areas that haven't been decided yet.

                  Just go ahead and join you can learn as you go thats what I did in the RF Demo game. (Which was my first one.)

                  Welcome!

                    • Government proposal

                      It doesn't seem like anyone has come out with a complete government proposal yet, so allow me to be the first


                      IDF
                      Generals only command troops, no cities and no zion workers unless specially worked out with the Minister of Infrastructure and settlement

                      Northern Front - Golan Heights and Lebanon
                      Judean Front - Haifa to Netanyah to Jerico to Tiberius
                      Jerusalem\South East Front - West Jerusalem to Eilat (stretching along the border with Jordan)
                      Gaza Front - Ashdod, Gevaram, Tekumah


                      KNESSET
                      Minister of Immigration - In charge of bringing in immigrants from Cyprus and Saudi Arabia
                      Prime Minister - Plays the end of turn, person in charge, appoints Generals
                      Minister of Infrastructure and settlement - Controls city build queues, and zion workers.
                      Minister of Economy and Science - Sets the science/tax/luxury rate approves all rushbuys. Manages the treasury

                      LESSER POSSIBLE OFFICES
                      Daily Haifa - Newspaper editor charged with generating stories about the game
                      Mossad - Efficiency experts, keeping track if cities are being optimally used?
                      Deputy Ministers - Fill in ministers that are absent, those on vacation, etc, etc.
                      Admiral - Not neccesary IMO since the minister of immigration controls the transports and our small navy can be controlled by the generals who have ships along their front


                      ORDER OF TURN PLAY

                      1st: Prime Minister
                      2nd: Northern Front
                      2nd: Judea Front
                      2nd: Jerusalem Front
                      2nd: Gaza Front
                      2nd: Minister of Immigration
                      2nd: Minister of Infrastructure and Settlement
                      3rd: Minister of Economy and Science
                      4th: Mossad (optional)
                      5th: Prime Minister

                      All of the positions that are noted as 2nd are interchangeable, they can be played in any order. Order will be maintained through use of a turn thread, where ministers and generals are allowed to sign in and sign out the save. See the Red Front Demo Game for example.

                      ATTAINMENT OF POSITIONS
                      Prime Minister - Every 6 game months, an election will be held. Votes of no confidence can occur at any time. Simple majority rules in both cases.
                      Generals - Chosen by the Prime Minister, serve at the Prime Minister's pleasure.
                      Knesset offices - Selected by Rpime Minister. (I imagine that some back room dealing will go on between parties to chose a Prime Minister, here's where the reward to the other party comes in).
                      Deputies - Selected by the office holder.
                      Mossad - Selected by Prime Minister, serves at his pleasure.



                      MY COMMENTS ON MY PROPOSAL:
                      -This may be a bit too ambitious for us, as of 12 hours ago, there were only 11 of us who had sent Dan a pm, and my plan calls for at least 8 positions.
                      -It's been a long time since I played this scenario, I may have completely butchered what a Front should be, in fact, they aren't really fronts since the enemy is all around us and between us, perhaps they should be called military districts instead...
                      -This isn't a revolutionary style of government I've set up exactly, most of it I've ripped from the Red Front Demo Game with a few changes. For other styles of civ2 government, check out
                      regular civ2 demo game
                      Military branch of Red Front DG government
                      Political side of Red Front DG government

                      -Oh yeah, if someone knows of a website that shows Israeli medals, we need to get someone working on adapting them for our game use, where we can award them to people who have distinguished themselves in our game. Check out the Red Front DG medals here

                              Since I'm a n00b @ demo-games I think your proposal seem very good. I think we need more players though.
