foreign minister Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

I notice that the other civs are starting to have foreign ministers and the like

I think that our controller should be the foreign minister, so that everyone gets the chance to do foreign ministery stuff

sorry misspelling

basically the idea is that if there is more than one foreign minister at a time, thatwe will ose coherency in our foreign affairs

also, what is done in the foriegn affairs office might be different than what the controller wants

I think that it is best that at a given time, we have one person for every duty (the controller controlls all)

now if the controller chooses to give away some of his duties, that might be fine (or might be grounds for no confidence)

IMO the job of foreign minister is not to decide whether we accept certain trade deals or other stuff at some specific turn, but to keep contacts with leaders of other civs, arrange long term agreements etc.

So instead of giving every controller the option to completely change our deals and alliances every 10 turns, we need someone keep all these stuff in one frame, with steady progress(unlike the erratic one that will happen if every controller does what he wants).

basically the controller should be how we show ourselves

the controller should speak with our voice anyway

everybody should get a chance to lead the team, and to do so in evrey way

and to ahve that be the same person, gives us the advantage of coherence

the controller is eld responsible to us as a group and to the no confidence vote

the arranging of long term agreements should be done wiith us as a group, and take place through the offices of the controller

basically the controller is picked to represent us in the game

to be our voice

as such he should be our voice outside of the game as well

for as long as he is in office

the controller should perform all foriegn affairs.

Like we mentioned in another thread wars and strategic resources should be agreed upon. And we should all make a vote right now how we want to trade techs and maps.

the controller is responsible for current affairs right now

if he chooses to have others help him that is cool

if people disagree make up a poll offering an alternative and we can argue and vote on it
