I tried to write a story, but it was too hard! trying to get into other peoples heads, and then there was the commitment, so I have given up!

[Mellian]

given what up? what were you trying to do?

if you want to clarify somethings, can do so in this thread.... that is what his thread is for, to discuss the game, ideas, plots and so on

i think we should give sheep 2 more strikes: if he doesn't post something productive before posting two more unreasonable things we kick him out.

[Giovanni Wine]

Uhmm... I hope there won't be any need to do that, especially because Apolyton need his enemy to fight against (maybe creating a CFC Civ ).

Do I need to download anything to play this?
Is the position of Religious Advisor available? How about the position of cultural Advisor? Or are they the same thing?
Do I really need a signature?

[Jack_www]

as far as I know it cultural advisor is open, no one is playing the cultural advisor. You dont need to download anything, just post what you do in the game thread.

About Consitution in story

I read that you said you put codes of laws with in the Consitution of the new Republic for Apolyton. A Consitution is more of how a government is to be fromed and runed. If you at the US consitution, no were in it does it have laws, like murder is illegal, stuff like that. It has the foundation of how the United States government is to be runned. I think putting laws into it is not such a good idea. It is better to spreate the two.

[Mellian]

other then the rules stated in the Great Library, no
also good idea to atleast read the last two page of the game to give an idea of whats going on at the moment.

just start playing as whatever character with whatever position.

the government positions available are:

Domestic Advisor
Science Advisor (unless the last one decides to return to apolyton b4 another person takes it)
Culture Advisor
Foreign Advisor (i already have a basic flexible script of the diplomatic relations between other nonplayer civs...and how they will be like in the near story future. so may have to PM me a lot or me PM the one playing the foreign advisor of the current world events between other civs, and what their reaction to apolyton will be. has for the rest of minor details is up to the player playing the foreign advisor)
Governor positions
Ambassador for another nation positions
and so on

As for the military, there is the Commander of the Navy available.... along with other lesser General and Admiral positions, followed by even lesser Colonel/Commodore and down positions. Can be quite fun commanding a single unit or more.


Plus, there is many other positions someone can come up with and take within the Apolyton empire...... if you want to be a Religious leader, go ahead. *looking at Apep* ...just that there is no Religion Advisor, just Culture Advisor....unless we become a Fundamentalist nation, which i very doubt it will happen me thinks.

No there is not requirements to be in the story. Just find a open spot in government, and we can write you in, or you can just be a normal everyday person in the Apolyton Empire.

more about the consitution in the story. A lot of the stuff you put in there took a long time devoloped the ideas and concepts. Also too like the trade adivorsor in the game said, right now Apolyton is running under the serf system, and I think any such changes would be opposed by the merchant class and other groups. I am just trying to be realistic. As for owning guns and weapon, this is the 1400's not modern age. Almost everyone owns some type of weapon, be a sword which I think would be more common, to muskets already.

[Mellian]

yes, but the rights to bear arm was in place of the american constitution mainly because the populace would be able to defend themselves against the english...and also maybe because to keep the government in line....which is a pretty fruitless attempt with modern US, especially with Bushy as prez

also, doesn't mean require people to have them or say it isn't allowed by not mention it in the constitution.

Why would the merchants have problems with the constitution, especially if it doesn't say anything about Trade and Economy?

As for the nobility, my impression so far that they don't really exist in apolyton.... closest ones to bbe considered nobility are Governors, who are picked from anywhere pretty liberally...like the Advisors and Military commanders.

also, don't confuse Monarchy with feudalism.

About the English War:

As the English are for already 4 months waiting for the attack.. I put in my story, that the Cognac raiders hiding in the forest saw a big English Army build up near the Western side of the mountains.

So basically the english together with German, Spanish and French trrops will try to invade America from across the Western Mountains (the one with the English fortresses), as they feel that Apolyton was to afraid to attack them (they already waited 5 months.. it's time for them to go in the action I think, no nation which is at war with another nation would just wait to be invaded)
