After a leave of absence I returned to be a "lurker" here at the Apolyton forums. I think that it is a great idea that the community is helping create the next Civ game, and I have some suggestions and food for thought:
1) The KISS philosophy (Keep It Simple Stupid). If your really cool idea takes very long to explain then it probably would be way to hard to explain it to a new gamer. Also, when trying to find a solution to a problem (ICS for example) its probably best to change what is already currently in CivII then trying to add more to the game(information overload).
2) This is a strategy game, not a history sim, gameplay and fun should be over historical accuracy.
3) PLEASE keep the history debates out of the topic. History is relative.
So, have at it!
