	MoI office stuff - real this time Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

As I volunteered to help out the MoI office, this is giving me a chance to do something that I have been wanting to do for a while. Particularly as Rhoth has run the sim for the next 10 turns or so, gotten us a game plan, and as he is also doing the sim model (can you say thank you Rhoth? I can. Thanks.), this is leaving me a bit of time to spend on the game.

Attached you will find the very first version of an excel spreadsheet that I started on about a year ago (when I was writing work force orders for demo game 1 in the year 210 BC..... wow). Anyways, I updated it to include PtW and C3C, erased a bunch of old stuff, and so forth.

Currently, you have to input each and every thing. It is really nothing more than a way of keeping organized at this point (abet, a usefull one). I am planning on changing that (if I can). I want to make it into a form, so that you can tell it the terrain types available, along with some other basic info, and it automatically updates the production values. Also, if I get even more time, to let it be able to account for improvements built, and to even assist in helping to calculate construction times and how to not waste shields and so forth.

I am putting it out now for a few reasons. One, who knows, perhaps someone has already done this. Two, so that I can get feedback (is this usefull, or am I just wasting time). Three, so that I will stay motivated and keep working on it to try and make it work and keep it updated.

Organization - the first couple sheets are just basic civ info. I will be adding more, wonders, units, buildings, etc. Everything is off of the civlopedia, so if that is wrong, please let me know. Then there is a sheet of overall game concepts. Government type, name of the game, so forth. Then each city gets its own sheet.

Thanks guys. Let me know what you think.

PS - it is a small excel file, but I had to zip it to upload as poly doesn't allow excel files. Wonder when they made that change. I remember being able to load them up before....hmm, I only have winzip extractor on this machine. I will attach it to the next post once I download the full version (slow modem.... gonna be 15 minutes or so.)

	Put an end to popups!

As it poly was not allowing me to add files to anything other than the first post, I restarted it here with the file attached. I also added in the workforce graphic E_T made (just in case someone doesn't have it and they want to reference it as a part of this)

Thanks again.

	Full PM-box? Change here!

Dont know about anyone else, but I cant download it.

If you have it in your upload space, I find it easier to just create a link to it.

Yes, the inability to download attachments in private forums still isn't fixed. You'll need to use your upload account, GK.

GK, put it in the upload section and link to it, it usually works better that way and allows later posts to have it as well.

This could be very useful. You can even have a little map in Excel with the terrain, allowing you to plan your cities.

OK I have topped this thread and added a bunch of MOI links in the first post.

GodKing and Rhoth this is your official MOI thread.

Change and add to it as you see fit.

If there are some other threads that need to be merged with this one or merged with others let me know. Im just trying to help you guys get all this MOI Information Organized.

And I would suggest talking to Paddy the Scot to join your team as the "Official city/ military unit/ worker/settler/ naming collector and poller. He was doing a great job at that and I for one wishes that he would continue. And you guys (GodKing and Rhoth) can concentrate on the Sim and maximizing production/ city planning.

Good Luck!

I'll see about loading up a new version of my spreadsheet (I have to clear it up somewhat....) so that you can see about using it here, too. I warn you, it is verrrrry complex, but it is also a very good tool to use (especailly in consert with a sim) to figure things out over a long term.

Great!

GK and Rhoth, I asked Paddy to return to the Ministry to handle all the "what to name stuff" duties.

I hope you guys dont mind, I just hated to see Paddy leave the ministry because he was doing a great job keeping the naming conventions organized.

Thanks GodKing and Rhoth...

I have started a A Ministry of the Interior Notice Board
dealing in naming rights for cities; military units; settlers and workers...

It is right along the lines of the original thread I had

I hope that meets your approval, and your requirements.

i think it may go up, especially since Horsies are more or less on the way.

8 tiles from the capitol aint bad in conquests

And Horses even closer - amazing!

In light of F-P mentioning they are planning on massing Horses to take down CDG, we will need to think carefully on which to get first - Iron would work later so we can do a mass upgrade, but perhaps getting it earlier would be best to bets complement PAL's proposed Horse force (what a HORRIBLE rhyme.... of course ). BUT, with PAL having a whole lotta Horses, having some of our own 2 move units might be a good idea - JUST IN CASE, y'understand?

My opinion is to get the IRON early. I would rather use Zeus as our main fast mover in this age, and hopefully we will not even need to get into knights.
