The Civ 2 Demo Game #4 setting poll is now closed. The results (as I best interpret them) are as follows:
1. One city on a 5 square island at least 7 squares from the nearest land.
2. A second city cannot be established until 1040 AD.
3. There will be no Ironclads or Diplomats built.
4. Trade (Caravans) are allowed.
5. Spies are allowed.
6. We must maintain a “spotless” reputation.
From earlier discussions, I suggest the following:
Despotism
1. In Despotism, we have one (initially-elected) leader who will play the game as usual in short (generally 5-8 turn segments) and report on the progress of the game.
2. In Despotism, the Despot is encouraged but not required to ask opinions and advice.
3. The Despot may or may not ask some players to fulfill certain functions of planning or advice.
4. The Despot may be cast out by majority decision at any time by citizen poll (not to be less than 3 days).
5. A “Remove the Despot Poll” will be phrased as “I propose myself as new Despot” yes/no.
Monarchy
1. Upon achieving Monarchy, play will stop and an election is required.
2. The Monarch will choose the positions of Minister he desires and appoint them (subject to acceptance by the appointees).
3. The Monarch must have at least 3 Ministers and is expected to follow their advice.
Republic/Democracy
1. Upon achieving Republic/Democracy, play will stop and an election is required.
2. There will be elections for Ministers of Trade, War, City-Planning, and Science. City-Planning includes new locations.
3. The Consul/President can be removed at any time for not following advice of Ministers.
4. The Consul/President can remove any Minister for bad advice and appoint or allow election for a replacement.
Communism/Fundamentalism
1. The same Secretaries/Priests as Republic/Democracy except that any can be removed at any time for any reason by the Premier/High Priest.
2. The Premier/High Priest can be removed only by majority decision of the Secretaries/Priests.
Citizens
Any Citizen can post a poll at any time demanding a change of government available at the time (3 days minimum poll and specify kinds of governments to be considered).
Is all this agreeable? I’ll seek a suitable map for our needs.
