  • Any point in setting up a cabinet?

    From what I gather there are among us different styles of player with builders being the most prominent. Remember the advisors in Civ II? There are many of us certainly, we could divide up into groups that put forward suggestions to a leader elected from among us. That leader could be a builder in peacetime, a militarist in wartime, and those seem to be the two primary groups. In Civ II there was the spy gal, the money man, and the entertainer. I don't know if groups could develope from such posts. Perhaps the spy could be folded into the militarist group and the money man and entertainer into the builder group. Then there's religion, but I don't know if that warrents its own post or should be the builder group.

    Perhaps players could move between the groups and the group with the largest population would put forth a national leader.

    Perhaps this will be yet another thread to fall, and that's fine, but right now we're a commitee. If we don't do something that's what we'll remain, which is ok too. Without a discussion on the subject that's what we get, is that what we want? Or do we want to be a couple or more commitees with a leader?

    There's alot of us.

      It seems the idea isn't totally popular.

        I think it's to early to start with dedicated groups, that's all. We don't have an empire yet, just a single warren with some scouting wabbits.

          Those Civ2 advisors are not exactly a nonbiased source of advisement. "Build me more swords so that our soldiers can bury them in the hearts of our enemies!"

            We could work on a 'warren state' type theme later though.......

            Or not.......

              Maybe later then, that's fine. We'll just continue with the 17 groups we now have then shall we?

              Seventeen is just a guess, I don't know how many rabbits are we actually.

                Judging from the number of votes, we're only 6

                  That's a good sign actually. I firmly believe the silent majority is strongly on my side. Add them to the one courageous individual who voted for the idea and I predict this concept will go on to a landslide win!

                    Well, if by cabinet you mean specialization of tasks, then I always
                    play this way.
                    I post about the "builder" things and do not, but read very careful,
                    about the "war" things.
                    I know there are very good warmongers around.
                    Best regards,

                      'Good' warmongers imo are those that make war so costly to a potential enemy that peace prevails. However, if peace doesn't prevail a good warmonger will make the pain of the war so severe upon an enemy that the bastards will think twice about pulling that crap again.

                          I agree with Geo that it is to soon to start forming groups. I say let's wait a bit and see how things pan out. We still only have one city and haven't met any other civilizations yet so there is plenty of time to sharpen those axes!!!
