Question Reguarding Sea Transportation

[Inverse Icarus]

thhis might be a PRE-POLL thread.

Well, who gets to control sea units?

it's easy to say the military advisor should control destroyers and battleships, but at this juncture, i am referring to galleys and the like.

does the military advisor have the right to control all of them? does the imperial expansion minister?

the way i would do it, all galleys etc. will be created and the military advisor has control of them. the SMC can then "give", or "commission" a minister control over specific vessels.

i'd like to get this hammered out before we squabble over our first galley.

War Minister controls the ships, but the expansion etc. have a say in what we do with them. Unless you want to create a sort of Navy Office subdepartmentish thingy, with an appointed liason between the interested ministries.

[Inverse Icarus]

i think another cabinet minister would just complicate the game even further than it has been complicated already

i'm just trying to hammer out a policy before we end up having another flame war.

[Jon Shafer]

Galleys are military units, the Military controls them. No need for a poll on that. If he wants to send some Settlers somewhere, he'll have to work with the IE Minister though.

[Kuciwalker]

Not a cabinet minister, an appointed liaison.

exactly. the SMC could "give" the CTED a bunch of naval units, either for specific tasks for game-wide use.

You could have the military commander apoint a naval chief (admiral) and an air marshal. They would do what the military commander told them. UberKruX (and successors) will act as commander land forces and all around coordinator, but on the huge map, arount 1900 there will be many naval units. If the military commander wants assistance, he should have the right to have it, but all must remember where the $ stops....

Does this rambling make sense? hope so.

We shouldnt create more beurocracy, it just gets confusing. The War minister should control all units that attack, or protect cities.

If it turns out we are on a smallisland and need a navy, maybe we could have an admiral, but i really dont see an air commander, mostly because the game will probably be over before they become common.

hi ,

but at any time the military could should , under special circumstances be able to get control of all the units , ...

and some privateers could be used just to contact nations , ...

have a nice day

The liaison would talk to the people, he would listen to the other ministers and try to coordinate.

I'm saying that we wont see any air units, as games usually are over before then. I'm confident that we wont get wiped off the map right now, or lose at all, there are tons of people with experiance in Civ3 plaing this, and I am sure they can out smart the AI.
