And I would like to host the cross-platform thread.

There should be an espionage/unconventional unit thread.

I'm glad to hear Trachmyr mention the issue of non-urban populations. I just presented my ideas on that topic on MarkG's list, but my points also covered ethnicity and indigenous populations. I think it's a big issue and can be split into at least three threads:

CITIES VS REGIONS
ETHNICITY
INDIGENOUS POPULATIONS

I would very much like to do a thread on the indigenous people topic, 'cause I already have loads of ideas boiling in my head on that. Please look to my post on MarkG's list for more on my ideas.

Lord Stone1: Terraforming has been covered under the city menu thread, oddly enough.

P.S I seem to have acquired the regional menu thing as well, since there weren't any other threads on this one currently. But Trachyr et al put their request in before... *shrug*.

Before starting threads of their own, I think people should take discussions to already established threads (e.g. <a href=http://apolyton.net/forums/Forum28/HTML/000008.html>OTHER</a> or <a href=http://apolyton.net/forums/Forum28/HTML/000061.html>RADICAL IDEAS</a>). I'm not sure we need entire threads devoted to topics which are only possibilities to be included in the game. If enough posts build up in those threads to warrant branching off, then maybe it would make sense. I think there is a tendency to want to start new threads when they are not warranted. That's just my opinion.

CIV3-THE MASTER LIST-TECHNOLOGY "THREAD MASTER"

[the Octopus]

That isn't to say that I'm opposed to all new threads. I thought Civilizations was a good one. As a rule of thumb, I think that if you find yourself saying "this has already been discussed a bit here", or "maybe this falls under _____, but..." then there is serious question as to whether a new thread should be started.

CIV3-THE MASTER LIST-TECHNOLOGY "THREAD MASTER"

[the Octopus]

Monolith, what would a cross-platform thread be about, besides people saying "support platform x", and several posts of agreement? I assume there are 2, maybe 3, unique posts for that thread:

Mac
Linux
NT

CIV3-THE MASTER LIST-TECHNOLOGY "THREAD MASTER"

[Harel]

Did everyone notice what is says in Fusion techs, in SMAC?
"Fusion was allready discovered on Earth"
and the unity also used fusion techs. This means you need future techs to connect with the unity... Close-future techs, that means. I belive we need a new thread, Future techs that will talk about how far we need to go with the future, and suggest techs.
This is because the current technoloy thread is busy with the critical job of decideing how the new research model should be.

Harel: "I belive we need a new thread, Future techs that will talk about how far we need to go with the future, and suggest techs. This is because the current technoloy thread is busy with the critical job of decideing how the new research model should be."

There are already complaints of too many topics and confusion about where to find things. I am not going to split the Technology thread unless there is a lot of public support for the idea. I currently do not believe that such a move is warranted.

I concur. Keep the Technology thread together. It's simpler that way.

How bout a 'third game in "The Sweep of Time"' thread?

I suggested this in one of the other meta-topics but have no response:

we need a forum for TILE IMPROVEMENTS!

Discussions of:
TIs vs. city-based improvements
Public Works v. Settlers
Airbases, Listening Posts, and other fun things
How many levels do we want? 2? 3?
How will they upgrade?
Ease of terraforming
TIs at sea and in space like CtP?
Wider varieties like SMAC?

I'll host - I've got some ideas. Just let me know what the deal is.

wheathin,

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner on this, but we are getting ready to make the list--so there won't be time to really get your thread going for this version of the list (if there IS a next version ), so could you please put your ideas in OTHER so we can make sure to put them in the list? If people are still interested in sending an updated list after this one gets sent, I'll make sure to invite you to host a thread then, o.k.? Thanks.

[NotLikeTea]

Some ideas:

Disasters and Random Events - Rather obvious, but might also include global warming, nuclera winters, etc...

Winning and Losing - How do we win? How long should the game last?

[Imran Siddiqui]

In the Game Atmosphere thread, Snowfire came up with a good idea. A thread about the Scoring System. I propose Snowfire become thread master of it (and No, I don't wish to be a thread master. I merely wish to impart whatever wisdom I have to make CIV3 better).
