SE MODELS v3.0 (hosted by no one)

[CormacMacArt]

Sorry about the long delay in answering; the last time I posted it I got no replies, so I have not been looking out for them.

M@ni@c - The European Union is made up of separate entities united by agreements. There is no one civ in control of the whole union. I don't see how confederacies could be put into a SE model without, essentially, conqering the other members of the confederacy.

EU - confederacy - independant civs partially governed by a small council (ala SMAC)

As to your Old World Empire, you could govern it as a group of Democratic City-States.

Carthaginian Empire - don't know, I will have to reread the details of how it was arranged.

Greek League - see EU

I hope that answers your question! Please, do give it a good once over and try to rip the model apart; I want some good feedback.

Biddles - the GIE would be set up in the capital of the civ supporting it.

1. Yes! Before the UN, that is. Stuff like that is a no, no nowadays.
2. I don't see why not! Although I would expect that civ to take a BIG hit in reputation!
3. I like how you think! I don't see why not, but I would expect failure would be costly.

Dear Theben,

This has always been -and probably will remain- my favourite thread of the Forum. I am sorry all discussion here has stopped: in my opinion the level of debating and arguing here was higher than in the Suggestions Forum. I would be sorry if it was removed to the Archives.

[Theben]

I'm glad you think so, but aside from Ming's Cheats there isn't any discussion here anymore. Perhaps moving this to the other forum will improve the dicussion there? At any rate, some discussion is better than none.

Sure is a long time since I've seen this thread. I agree with Kroeze. It was truly the greatest of threads.

I am sad that the whole suggestion section is dead now.

Perhabs it would be good to move this thread to the general forum. But I feel as if even the general forum is now only a shadow of the greatness it once had. It's all a bunch of people suggesting the same ideas that we have all debated a long time ago, and very few of the suggestions now are even half as visionary as the ones us oldtimers suggested back in good old 1999.

But of cause it is propably too late now to suggest anything that will actually make it into Civ3. At least the alt. civs forum is still going strong (OpenCiv3), so I still have some reason to stay at Apolyton...

Gee...1999 was so long ago...

One of my grievances is that people are suggesting "new" ideas from the ground up. While that isn't necessarily bad, I wish some would notice that a large section of territory's already been covered, and that they could add on to what's been said already.

As for the whole "suggesting" idea being dead, don Don and myself didn't even know if Firaxis or Microprose (at the time) would even listen to players, but that didn't stop us from creating long posts of ideas. It can still be fun, if just as pointless.
