Each building will have a function and an effect on wealth or happiness of a nation. This will need to be fleshed out in order to play the game. The building class will simply need to be an abstract class with subclasses for each building type.

Hopefully, ASCII art can be added to create a better gaming experience, but for now, a simple, all text display with the players' information will do. It will need to include wealth, number of cities, total nation population, and number of buildings (preferably distinguished by type).

Game needs to be generic and not specific to ASCII civ. Separate the two out into two different classes. Perhaps putting the generic Game class into another file. Have the civ class inherit from the Game class.

A two column design where one player is on one side and the opponent on the other is preferred for trying to view the screen. Also, a full screen for cmd is probably best in order to best simulate screen transitions.

Perhaps later down the line, story missions can be given to add depth to the game.

Someone may want to use the ascii cmd-line game engine features in different games. Separate it from the ascii civ project and give its own repository.

The computer will need a program that will allow it to play the game with the player. It would be easiest to create this program once the foundations of the game and game play are created.

Once the all text display has been created, a more artistic version can be adopted in order to bring a better display to the user. Feature for the future.

Natural disasters and random chance will definitely make the game more challenging and unpredictable. It will need to be decided what kinds of events can happen, when, and how frequently.

What actions can each player take a turn? It will need to be displayed at the bottom of the screen.
