The Last Civilizations (2nd Reboot, OOC, OPEN)

[Dooplevinia]

Thank you.
Wow my country ideas good.
As for the machines: I think they would be better
And the tech tree: I don't know wasn't there last time. However I think a mystic era would be cool if you already didn't add one.

Mechanics could be better? Do you have any suggestions?

I think the program Civilization has is good.

Any ideas on how to implement them here?

Did you already take part previously: No
Previous location/Preferred kind of starting location: Steppe
A few sentences detailing the background of your civilization/barbarians:
The Xij are a group of various nomadic tribes and villages living in the steppes, The Xij are a vary agressive civilization and tend to raid nearby nations that aren't considered friends of The Xij, The Xij have also made very few technological advances in the last centery.

Also could Astrology be moved back on the tech tree? Because from what I saw (could be mistaken because the text was small) it was somewhere by the industrial era.

Did you play Civ Revolution at all? How's this different?

I didn't play that particular game, only played a lot of V and some IV. I was asking how to best carry the game's mechanics into this forum rp.

Accepted. Keep the rules in mind, use the mechanics and provide feedback for the poll questions, alright? And ask as many as questions as you need to ask to have fun.

Everyone else, feel free to post (or suggest changes)

No. Sorry

It says on the first page
" In the beginning, the Ancient era, you will get two points per day, and your starting bonus will also be 2 points. "
Does that mean you start with 2 or 4 points?

You start with 2 points and then immediately get 2 points in addition for the first day.

You start with 2 points and then immediately get 2 points in addition for the first day.

So, in short, we start out with four? Because 2 (the bonus) + 2 (day 1) = 4, right?

Yes.

Yes.

Easily confused kitteh was not easily confused

So can we skip some of the techs I mean cause meditation sounds like a silly tech to be honest

I agree, perhaps this should be included with Mysticism?
I also have to ask (I feel like I'm playing 200 questions with you by now Jute ) , are we using rl religions? The religions that come with the new technology or are we free to create our own when we research the new techs?

[Harkback Union]

CIV tech tree.
Is this for real?

As I said, these mechanics are only guidelines, not rules. And I did mention in the Science spoiler:

Feel free to suggest more/other technologies if you want more variety or have something in mid more fitting for your playstyle. Unless it's ridiculously overpowered, it'll probably be fine.

Of course you don't have to research everything, and not in the exact same order either. You can skip, change and add technologies to your liking, as long as you have reasonable explanations for them in the IC posts (so you can't have a navy, for example. if you never mentioned inventing boats before, stuff like that) The only requirement is that you research only one technology per invested point. The tech tree is only there to provide examples, as an inspiration if you will. Alright?

Edit: Of course the same goes for religions. The previous rps also had original religions, so obviously no need to use the well-known ones.

CIV tech tree.

See above. Do you think your science mechanic would be better, and if yes, why?

[Jute]

Anyway, I'll sign off for today. Will answer to any more questions tomorrow.

[Dooplevinia]

I still have one question:
When do we start?

[Levis Avara]

Hmm what ideolgies if any will we get to have? Also do you think special units could be a thing? For instance I'm going a Naval Route so I would have a Zhanganese Man'o War akin to the English ones on Civilizations 3

That would be cool.

Yes, but ideologies will obviously only become a thing later on. And I was thinking about that, but I really wanted to get started already, since people kept asking. I might add them at some time, though.
Along with a better tech tree...

I still have one question:
When do we start?

You can already post.

3 people would like to have the current mechanics completely scrapped... o.O Well, I would like to hear some suggestions to improve them.
Like I said, the mechanics aren't supposed to enslave your creativity or anything, they're more rough guidelines that are supposed to make things easier and add to the fun, not take away from it. The tech tree and other stuff like that needn't be definite rules, really!
Feel free to not follow the mechanics as closely, just make clear how you're advancing your civilization by saying how you're spending the two points.

Alright then, glad to hear everything's clear and unproblematic.
