Thread Masters Needed for the Following Topics: Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

Let's use this thread to post topics that we'd like somebody to Thread Master. There are already a few new topics that will be added today or tomorrow (SPACE EXPLOITATION and THE MANUAL/HELP FILES), but if you think of some more potentially good topics, please list them here. I have one to start us off:

LESSONS LEARNED FROM CtP

Now, if we decide we don't need that or some of the topics we post here, no big deal. But we need a place to post ideas for topics. So, having said that, let the posting begin!

We definatly need something for space. I want Space Cities! This is one of the very few areas in CTP which I liked!

I'd also like underwater cities, but that's another thread.

How about one for civilizations?

How many do we want?
How many to play in one game?I know JT wants at least 30 civs. BTW for any CTP players, how interesting is it with all of those civs?
Do we want each civ to have its unique advantages/disadvantages like SMAC and AOE?
If yes, then any suggestions?

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

How about a thread for an alternate to the basic theme of CIV3... Cities as the primary focus.

There has been a lot of talk about using "Regions" and removing the emphasis of cities on the game.

Roll over subject include nomadic and Indigionous population, and National availability (pooling) of resources (under certain goverments). This is just to name a few.

I would take this thread, if no one who originated the ideas initialy wants it.

I posted my basic ideas on this matter in the Radical thread, but I think that focused debate and brainstorming on this matter might be helpful to determine if this should evolve into a major game focus.

Can you guys decide between each other who would like the Thread Master what thread(s)? The title should be in this format:

THREAD TOPIC (ver1): Hosted by ???

You should read the Thread Masters Creed and The War Room to get up to speed on what your duties would be. If you agree to them, please 'sign' the Creed and start your thread(s). I look forward to seeing you guys help!

Is there a thread to improve the AI's ability? I'm talking about specific actions that strike me as suicidal, such as consistently paying huge amounts of tribute, or declaring war while on virtual life support.

Do these belong in the Diplomacy or AI threads?

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

It just hit me that we are so concerned about how the game should be that we have forgotten how the game should end.
So I suggest a thread:

WINNING CONDITIONS (Ver 1): Hosted by xxx

An idea to start the discussion (This have to be modified)
---------------------------------------------------

Many of us liked the new ways of winning the game in SMAC, only to be disappointed with the missing "end-movie".

In this thread we are to discuss the different ways of winning the game and what, if any, "end-movie" there should be.

Also some criticism has been against the calculating of score. How should the score be calculated? What should/shouldn't affect and how to balance them. (In SMAC go for max population if you want a high scoore. So it is unbalanced.)

I'd love to be the thread master for Civilizations. This has always been a bone of contention with everyone - and it's sparked several arguments over whether America counts as a civilization or whether Nicaraguans actually should be in the game!

I'm glad to hear Trachmyr mention the issue of non-urban populations. I just presented my ideas on that topic on MarkG's list, but my points also covered ethnicity and indigenous populations. I think it's a big issue and can be split into at least three threads:

CITIES VS REGIONS
ETHNICITY
INDIGENOUS POPULATIONS

I would very much like to do a thread on the indigenous people topic, 'cause I already have loads of ideas boiling in my head on that. Please look to my post on MarkG's list for more on my ideas.

Lord Stone1: Terraforming has been covered under the city menu thread, oddly enough.

P.S I seem to have acquired the regional menu thing as well, since there weren't any other threads on this one currently. But Trachyr et al put their request in before... *shrug*.

Tired of ads?

Before starting threads of their own, I think people should take discussions to already established threads (e.g. <a href=/forums/Forum28/HTML/000008.html>OTHER</a> or <a href=/forums/Forum28/HTML/000061.html>RADICAL IDEAS</a> ). I'm not sure we need entire threads devoted to topics which are only possibilities to be included in the game. If enough posts build up in those threads to warrant branching off, then maybe it would make sense. I think there is a tendency to want to start new threads when they are not warranted. That's just my opinion.

That isn't to say that I'm opposed to all new threads. I thought Civilizations was a good one. As a rule of thumb, I think that if you find yourself saying "this has already been discussed a bit here", or "maybe this falls under _____, but..." then there is serious question as to whether a new thread should be started.

Did everyone notice what is says in Fusion techs, in SMAC?
"Fusion was allready discovered on Earth"
and the unity also used fusion techs. This means you need future techs to connect with the unity... Close-future techs, that means. I belive we need a new thread, Future techs that will talk about how far we need to go with the future, and suggest techs.
This is because the current technoloy thread is busy with the critical job of decideing how the new research model should be.

There are already complaints of too many topics and confusion about where to find things. I am not going to split the Technology thread unless there is a lot of public support for the idea. I currently do not believe that such a move is warranted.

I suggested this in one of the other meta-topics but have no response:

we need a forum for TILE IMPROVEMENTS!

Discussions of:
TIs vs. city-based improvements
Public Works v. Settlers
Airbases, Listening Posts, and other fun things
How many levels do we want? 2? 3?
How will they upgrade?
Ease of terraforming
TIs at sea and in space like CtP?
Wider varieties like SMAC?

I'll host - I've got some ideas. Just let me know what the deal is.
