XGM Diplomacy Game

[Unknown Soldier]

Right Guys

This is it, we first need to decide on the faction to play.

options are

Rome
Carthage
League of Greek City States

I inclined towards the GCS

Lets Vote

Background:
We the XGM forum community run a game by commitiee.

We are the senate/ruling council of the faction. We make the strategic decisions for the faction by discussion and where necessary by voting.

We may even get to play as the generals - I have some ideas on this.

Other factions can be nominated other than the three above if there is a strong enough feeling for it.

(deadline midnight 14-Apr-2008 GMT)

Mod Version = 5.6.7

whats the dealio behind this?

[Warmaster]

I voted GCS. It makes sense considering the origins of XGM...

[synthesis]

whats the dealio behind this?

It sounds like he's going to play a campaign and we're going to be his advisors, maybe?

[atraps]

GCS, i voted for them

[Unknown Soldier]

Synthesis: You may get to do more than just advise!

[Dung3r]

I voted Rome as they are popular with other mods but GCS tend to get overused in this mod. I know that is the whole point of the mod promote the GCS but everything you see is GCS... a bit long winded.

[Balikedes]

I voted Carthage, just thought it would be fun.

[ServiusTheGreat]

id vote for gsc states but its not letting me*shouts greek swear words incoherently and runs into the distance newd yelling the greeks will rule the world!*

[CaesarVincens]

You need at least fifty posts to vote in a poll, it's to prevent skewing the results with fake accounts.

I won't be playing, but I'd go with Carthage, they are quite fun, and Rome and the GCS are over used.

[chazap]

i voted carthage! greeks are overused...and the roman position will be tough. as carthage we have a few years to organize, plan, and execute....

[Scutarii]

I voted Carthage. There are many Greek campaigns, as chazap said, and I like the challenge of the Carthaginian campaign. Plus, you have many different ways to play the Carthage campaign.

[Centurion44]

I like Carthage's starting position and troop variety so it should bring an interesting campaign.

[Unknown Soldier]

Carthage is looking likely at this point

Servius TG: You vote is noted and counted by me, you can still participate as part of the senate though.

[supeerme]

i go for Carthage! It's seems to be a good idea this!

[Noodlegasm]

Carthage is the underdog of the lot


the romans are to.............badass :hmmm:


the greeks have all the goodness of dimebagho


so carthage all the way

[ServiusTheGreat]

HURRAY!

[atraps]

so is Unknown Soldier playing the campaign?

or is this a campaign where a person plays it then they e-mail the saved game to another person and then another person...etc.

[Unknown Soldier]

Atraps: I was in the process of formulating that next once we had decided on a faction.

Yes that was one idea I was going to propose - branches of the family tree would be under the control of different players and the
play -> save -> email on cycle would be used.
Spys, diplomats and assassins the diplomatic corps would be under the control of at least one other person, and naval units would also be controlled by a player if transporting their armies and supporting the land troops.

Hopefully we would have a war/foreign minister who decided, with senate approval, when and where to recruit troops.

And a home office minister to decide on what to build in each region.

Budget would be split 40:40:20 to War:Building:Spare/reserve

Field commanders will petition the senate for troops/resources we will discuss and vote on these matters then the campaign moving/fighting will begin.

These are just a sample of my incoherent thoughts on how it will work....

[ServiusTheGreat]

well that only sounds a little complicated *brain explodes from sheer amount of emailing tha would be involved*
