Sorry - I Meant to post this in the general section, please can someone move it there....
I've not dabbled (yet) in the modding side of the game, so this is probably more at home as a joke thread rather than a serious suggestion. However, if somebody wants to run with it.. feel free!!
This started as a conversation in the pub, so appologies in advance, but we realised office politics worked quite well in the Civ form, meaning you can very simply interchange the Civ name to office departments, eg:
Human Resources; Evil sadistic war like. so saladin or the mongols
Marketing; equivalent to the mysticism /cultural civs
Finance: financial
IT - Any technical civ
Facilities/janitorial - India - simply for the fast worker (or head janitor as it could be known) option.
Sales - War like....
Transport / shipping - Organised civs
I'm sure there are others, what the barbarians could be changed into did cause some issues, probably Auditors or "Government Inspectors"
Of course, now it goes all a bit dilbert, the world map is the floor plan, sea's become the car park, cows become canteens/ cafe's, flood plains become desks or cubicals, deserts, must be management offices! if you want to add food to the office, installing a vending machine is the equivalent of a farm. There are more, but, you lot can suggest them!
Religions become methodologies. "we are displeased you have fallen under the sway of the heathen 'Hot-desking' methodology.
Units were most difficult.
Scouts can be the post delivery person,
Knights could be consultants with a +25% vs Management units.
Anyway, i've typed way too much for a half-baked idea!
Appologies for wasting your life in the time it's taken you to read this!
