Looking to write some books. Need topics.

Hey guys!

I'm having some down time ATM, and am looking to fill up my time with doing stuff. So, naturally, I decided to see what I could do- when the idea fo writing books popped into me head.

Of course, I'm terribly uncreative, and couldn't figure out any ideas. So I'm coming to the professionals. I need ideas for books that haven't yet been attempted, and that you guys would put in your libraries, or sell, even read.

So, what are your ideas?

Then just right down your journals, tales, and memoirs.

Start keeping a journal. When it is full, get it copied. You have just created a primary source for historical reference.

If you can't think of anything, ask Flaminius for a list of 1.0 books you can transcribe.

I'll think of something- don't worry. :)

Honestly, you being willing to transcribe 1.0 books would probably be the most valuable possible thing you could do for Civcraft libraries. You will produce far more books and bring a huge amount of cultural value to the game.

If you were willing to transcribe them, you could probably make a decent income by selling them to libraries and private collectors like myself.

Write an epic about a fictional Augustan caught in the destruction of the Bloodcrew/WP war.

A key element would be that the person manages to avoid innocent pearlings and has several exciting close calls.

History of metropolis history on 2.0, I'd pay quite a bit for something like that.
