I suggest you make it into a RPG/RTS. I would happily join it.

On the other hand:

What does your Civilization eat?

What does your Civilization eat?

If it would stay like that, your Civilization will survive without food, making it kind of irrealistic. What about:

Food Diets

Fruit:
Meat:
Fish:
Bread:

Like that?

You will need recources for that aswell then hehe

Yeah... How about:

Stone: (Used in buildings, some weapons)
Wood: (Used in buildings, some weapons)
Grass: (can be used in roofs, to tie stone and wood together)

Later in the Game:

Steel/Iron:
Energy:
Plastic:

So I'm gonna make this a little more simple:
Resources:
- Food: Amount of Food for your Civilization
- Water Amount of Water
- Materials:
Stone:
Wood:
Fur:

Better?

So all I have is an RTS at the moment, are you still looking for an RPG incorporated into this?

what about alliances with other players?

is it like a pvp game?

I was thinking about that I mean I don't want to make it too complicated, we'll see based on what help I get.

As a pointer, most of that info is for my use only. I'm going to make an example sheet for all of you soon. You're only going to need to post about half of that information, if that. so yea, it's pretty d*mn simple for all of you.

Any last minute suggestions before I put this into running later today?

It would be better if you add something that would make the player think, be creative, since people tend to play forum games because of the open mindedness it has. Your forum games seems nothing to me but the normal MMORPG.

That's just the basic player information layout. Each player is going to encounter different situations which they'd have to change they're tactics. Mind you, we are only on a forum though... is there much room for complexity?
