The Will of the Senate - out of character thread

There is also the Metropolis & Naval Mod for Platinum, which includes the 4TPY mod as well.

How about there must be a mandatory legislative period prior to the beginning of a Consulate term. After that, we can require the Consul to post regular reports to allow us to debate before continuing the game. The Senate could then say whatever they want during interrim sessions, votes there would be 'binding' as well, though it's possible none may be proposed or none may pass. This would also allow for personal requests and favors between the Consul and individual Senators.

However, if we are going to have an effective interrim debate period, we will have to limit the speed at which the Consul plays. Perhaps something like no more than 1 game year (4 turns) per day, with a maximum of 5 game years per week. We could require an update at end of each 'year' (1 real time day) about events, though that update could consist of:

"Not much, a couple buildings and some recruitment."

If things are going too slowly like this, we could always pass 'legislation' requing a report only every 2 years. The Senate could be used like this to change the very rules/mechanics of the game itself.
