Civilization builder! Starting.
« on: January 19, 2011, 07:42:47 pm »

A democraciv (yes, democraciv, like democrabrain but with civ) forum game of no small renown that I haven't actually seen.
Control a young CIVILIZATION or CULTURE or TRIBE or NATION or WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE TO CALL IT. Lead it through its beginnings and into WORLD CONQUEST! Alternatively, do something else.

But before we do anything, we will need to set some parameters.
First I would like a SETTING and a RACE, because I suspect that the former may influence your choice of the latter, in case you want to be something other than human. Setting means world size, tech level, precense or absence of magic, noteworthy physics, so on and so on. Race is self explanatory. Species, if you prefer.

Wouldn't the setting be the track and field course?  Then we can pick the race, will it be 100 meters?  I love dashing!

Oh I see what you did there.
Sadly, such shenanigans must wait until the game actually starts.

ZEFIES?
DO EXPLAIN.
In case you didn't realize, I don't know what Zefies are and I'm too lazy to google search even though that requires less effort than typing this. How ironic.
EDIT: Wait, I don't suppose you mean the Zefies from Age of Restoration, do ya?

Zefies are my preferred custom race. They're three foot tall balls of black fluff with bright yellow eyes. Cheerful, hardworking, and perfectly willing to go on massive crusades across the world. Lots of fun, they kind of combine the traits of the big three races.

Elves: relatively lightly built, at home in forests, don't trample grass when they walk.
Dwarves: REALLY like their steel and heavy weaponry and armor. Build insanely large fortress (mostly above ground), of the sort that'd point Helm's deep greatly to shame.
Humans: Perfectly happy to accept other races, incorporating them into their own. Commonly swamped by refugees.

Tau: In a normal setting, Zefies don't usually do much with projectile weapons (in the original setting, their were other races that usually covered it), so zefie ranged corps tend to be largely foreign soldiery (although often times naturalized)

Warhammer Fantasy, only less grimdark, with an utterly ruined Tau ship exploding above and raining down a cluster of escape pods, which leads to the formerly high tech race starting over from the beginning in the dawn of the warhammer fantasy world. Only less grimdark.
