Hi Laurent:

An official welcome to the Clash project!

And I Will get you that production function specification soon ... I've just had too much real life recently!

Mark

[The Diamond]

Uh, hello everyone. This is probably a good a thread as any to introduce myself on.

Right, I'm Reno Diamond, a UK student and official dogsbody to the world in general (aren't we all, sometimes). I'm studying Economics, Psychology, Discrete Maths and Chemistry.

In short, that means that I can work out the most cost-effective way of saying something, work out exactly how to say it for maximum effect, plan out the possible reactions to what I say using graph theory and then watch it do the unexpected and blow up in my face.

I contacted Mark last night and now, here I am, shooting my mouth of about every issue in sight. Don'tcha just hate the way new people act like they own the place? Youth of today, grumble, grumble, grumble.

My background is that I love Civ. And I love Alpha Centauri. That said, I think there's a lot of ways that they could have been improved. And most of my gripes/suggestions have already been thought of here, so someone at least must be working on the same wavelength.

Well, that's enough from me. Bye.

[Richard Bruns]

The Diamond: Welcome to the Clash project! I'm sure you have a lot of good ideas, and I hope that we will find a way to incorporate them. Check out the Best Way To Get Your Suggestions Implemented in Clash thread.

Unlike you, some of us (especially me) have not taken psychology, and are sometimes not very diplomatic. I apologise in advance for anything I may say that seems insulting, I am just trying to discuss the models and answer questions clearly.

A word of advice from someone who used to be a newbie: Don't try to do everything at once. Each model has an enormous history that anyome making suggestions has to be familiar with. If you try to do something in each model, you will either make uninformed comments or die from reading too much material.

I suggest that you pick one model that you are really interested in, research that model extensively, and work closely with the people currently working on that model. That way your input will be much more helpful and your suggestions will be much more likely to be implemented.

The Diamond:

I think I welcomed you to the project in another thread, but welcome here too!

Richard:

Excellent advice! Just one thing. We replaced the thread spiel with a link off the web page labelled 'Suggestions', which is more up to date. But thanks very much for your helping out on the project management end, I need all the help I can get!

[Mark_Everson]

Well, there are several new team members who probably didn't even know this thread existed, so I'm bumping it up.

[LDiCesare]

I am Laurent Di Cesare,

I am a French engineer (Ecole Polytechnique and ENSTA degrees) and working as a software developper (also doing some management but that's not the big part).

My interests in civ-like games date from civ1 (playing on a black and white Mac in school) and a deep fondness for world-building (through games and writing).

In Clash I have started coding of the military model.

[Mark_Everson]

Thanks Laurent, I'll wait about a week, and then put whatever new info I have at that point onto the team page.
