Ministers / Advisors

oh yes of course....

IMHO I would keep unit design with the Minister of Defence. If Exploration is given to an Intelligence Advisor (do you agree on that one??) Defence will have too little to do in the beginning of the game. SE by the president and political parties would be great.

I guess unit-design would be most on the area of Defense minister...

so, science rate controlled by science minister or SE guy? if we go market for example we'll need to set the psych up.

DeathByTheSword, we agree with eachother's proposal. So which one will it be? It's all the same to me.

Proposal: division in economy/research/psych also to Social Affairs.(?)

[DeathByTheSword]

i agree great thinkin

[DeathByTheSword]

let do it your way....its easier....we can always change it back some how

[Kassiopeia]

Yes, we could name him Minister of Social Engineering. He'd have also control over the Psi rate. Of course, if drone riots ensue, the Commissioner will intervene, but it should be the task of the MSE to avoid having drone riots. Surely there'd be SE polls around to decide what we choose. That's when the parties come to play.

Large postcount != activity? Not exactly. Who do you think is more active, the poster who makes 100 posts in one day per week, or the poster who makes one poster every day of the week?

We must add to this the position of Religious Advisor. Our faith is what defines us as a people, as such some for of representation of that faith must be made available in the ruling council.

moo. I'm a Justice in the Civ3 Demo game, thought this looks interesting as well. I'll probably follow it if it takes off.

I'm not the best person to ask about how we do things at Civ 3, but I'm willing to answer.

Some tips right away: Our ministers have final say over what they are ministers of. The president actually plays the game. The group of the president, vp, and ministers together are all the executive branch. The legislative branch is everyone that votes in any polls. Often ministers do polls in the messageboard, or quickpolls during a turnchat to determine what the people want.

We recently installed a judicial branch to keep others in line with our code of laws http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=56100 .

I would suggest a smaller government to start with since it will be the easiest to set up and require the least people, then to expand on it. Seems logical but I wasn't around for the starting of the Civ3 demo game.

Oh yeah, our civ is apolytonia and yours isn't

[DeathByTheSword]

i do not thing i matters really beacuse what can this advisor do or take care of?

[Anodyne]

Hey, Epistax, that was some good advice there. Thanks

And Crisler... I don't think he'll have much to do game-wise

[Kassiopeia]

Neh. Religion Advisor's post would be redundant and useless. Are you trolling?

[Crisler]

The purpose of the religious advisor in the game is to place moral groundwork for the staff. All decision would also be blanced against the possible moral outcome of the decision. This input would be as helpful as any other.
