Ministers / Advisors

[Kassiopeia]

Any ideas, what sort of posts we'd have? The ministers' role would of course be arranging polls on different courses of action and helping out people with their 'expert opinion'. I suggest that we need at least

- A Terraforming advisor (terraforming)
- A Science/Research advisor (tech rate, tech goal)
- An Infrastructure (Build?) advisor (energy rate, base structures, wonders)
- A Military advisor (he might have a Probe advisor?)
- A Diplomatic advisor (whoo, Planetary Council!)
- others?

I also think that the writers among us (cough) should do the Historian stuff, maybe write SMACfics with events from the game, you know. Might be fun and interesting.

i am for everthing this rulez.........they ask the people what they want......the tell the president (or what ever, we need a good name for it or will it be factionrelated?) and he will do it....

[Anodyne]

Yeah, you're right. Ande has a similar thread but this is more "complete".

I think the first thing for us to do is to elect a president who will then decide what advisors will he have...

[Maniac]

Perhaps rename Infrastructure Advisor to Economy Advisor.

good thinkin' Kass. I posted samekind of thread a MINUTE earlier

[Anodyne]

Not Advisors, Ministers! It sounds cooler.

M@ni@c> Minister of Infrastructure and Economy?

[DeathByTheSword]

i do not thing we should give the president so much power. we should split the power up in the different ministers. and let the president be the acting power on the advice/orders of these ministers

[Anodyne]

...anyone behind my idea of electing the president first?

And he would then have the final say on which ministers we should have.

[Andemagne]

OK Kass you can have it. this is the "Official Thread For Ministers and Advisors". I'll ask that other one to be deleted.

Civ3 Demo Game has These Ministers/Advisors:
- President
- Vice-President
- Minister of Imperial Expansion
- Minister of Public Works
- Minister of the Economy
- Minister of the Military
- Minister of Science
- Minister of Foreign Affairs
- City Planner
- Historian

EDIT: and Civ2 Demo Game has 1 less.

We won't have a president, we'll have a Commissioner, if we go for PK's.

Minister of I and E could deal with the energy rate, Secret Projects, Base Structures and Crawlers.

[DeathByTheSword]

i agree ministers not advisors they do not hold power. (at least the name doesnt sound very powerfull )

[Kassiopeia]

- President = "Commissioner" or "Leader"?
- Vice-President
- Minister of Imperial Expansion = Minister of Terraforming and Colonisation
- Minister of Public Works = Minister of T and C
- Minister of the Economy = Minister of Infrastructure and Economy
- Minister of the Military = Supreme Military Commander or something like that, Minister of Defence maybe
- Minister of Science = Minister of Research maybe?
- Minister of Foreign Affairs = Diplomatic Advisor, Minister of Diplomacy?
- City Planner = Minister of I and E
- Historian = Chronicler?

What I mean is we combine some tasks and rename the posts to get a bit more original.

[Anodyne]

How do I get the feeling I'm not being listened here

Comissioner (as Kassi pointed), I say, Comissioner first. Perhaps I should make a thread about it? So, that those who wish to take the charge could nominate themselves and we could have a poll?

[Kassiopeia]

And I think we could have several Chroniclers... some Ministers could maybe even double as Chroniclers.

[Maniac]

What is the difference between a *Base* Planner and a Minister of Imperial Expansion?

Historian = Librarian
