So we've had this game for about a year now with no real changes. We are basically playing the same game that was here in 2000... Time to change this game!

Change is evil!!!!!!

It seems like most of the players like playing the same old game over and over. For many of them, the real game is the inter-clan/team relations and drama. Changing the mechanics would distract them from fluffing around with each other.

Personally, I'm not sure a new gov't type is the best way to spice things up. The current gov't types cover every possible strat that I can currently see possible. New strats would require major changes to the game mechanics. I've throw out a number of thoughts on changes to game mechanics that might allow new gameplay strategies but they haven't had a lot of support so I'll assume that either people don't read this forum or there's not much support for making major changes to gameplay mechanics.

suggestions

keynesian, can spend money it does not have
pirate, can not capture land only booty, can not be land killed
progressive, triples taxes, economy booms
chinese commie, sells goods to keynesians, debt compounded daily

We need the Atomic Bomb. 1/1,000,000th of a chance of developing it. You get it, you better fluffing sell it or use it. Think of the wars it would create

Atomic bomb = 5 dead countries... yea that would spark some wars for sure

I have some thoughts for a new government, but it's all been just discussion to date, no actual plans yet...

fascism was introduced to mehul's game at 200........

theo is bit new too.

greggarchy

+100% spy effectiveness
+100% espionage gains
+bomb banks replaced with rob banks (all money stolen, none destroyed)
+burn bushels replaced with steal food (all bushels stolen, none destroyed)
-people will know what gov't type you're playing and hate on you

Well I need something different otherwise I may get sooo bored I just quit playing :p

This is no time for new governments. I'm still getting used to seeing Fascism.

Greggarchy eh,

That sounds awesome! I would definitely run that gov! In fact, I think all of PDM might.

its not only the gov.

its the strats u can run.

oil was the last introduction.


what about mining. What about Banking/Stocks and shares what about
introducing other goods you can market/sell to vary the strat play if your talking game mechanics.

govs only change what we got
