Facility Names (Adamant Mod)

[Fyron]

Seeing as Loser came up with some nice names for DS, I was wondering if he (or anyone else) would like to come up with some for me too. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

I need same cool names for:
Labor Shrine I-VI (increases planet resource production)
Labor Temple I-III (increases system resource production)
Birth Shrine I-III (increases reproduction in sysstem)
Healing Shrine I-VI (cures level 1 plague and increases planet happiness)
Healing Temple I-III (cures level 2 plague and increases system happiness)
War Shrine I-III (combat bonus to ships in system)
Wisdom Shrine I-VI (increases planet research)
Wisdom Temple I-III (increases system research)

I have names for the rest of the shrine types.

Death Shrine I-VI:
Temple of Death
Temple of Sacrifice
Temple of Carnage
Temple of Slaughter
Temple of Massacre
Necropolis

Fate Shrine I-VI:
Temple of Fate
Temple of Doom
Temple of the Ages
Temple of the Eon
Chantry of Eternity
Temple on the Edge of Time

Nature Shrine I-III (planet-affecting):
Nature Shrine
Sacred Glen
Sacred Grove

Nature Temple I-III (system-affecting):
Commune of Natural Balance
Commune of Natural Order
Virility of Worlds

Well... that's a list of a more imposing length...

Shrine to the Womb (too species specific?)
Fertile Palace
Tower of Hope

[Fyron]

You only have to give me as many names as you want to. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

The womb one is too race-specific, yes. Only mammalian races have wombs.

[Loser]

Labor shrine (planet-wide)

Shrine to the Proletariat
Temple of Humility
Temple of Common Honor
Temple of the Productive Hand
City of Every Being's Value
Utopia

Plants don't, machines don't, and neither do a number of other improbable anatomies.

Great names! Keep up the good work. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I do not think that where egg-laying species develop the eggs before laying them counts as a womb. But even if it is still classified as a womb, it is not at all the same thing as the concept of a womb in a mammalian species. The egg and nest provide that role. But of course, plant and machine races (as well as giant amoebae and such) have no wombs to speak of, so http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

My convention is that "shrines" affect the planet, and "temples" affect the system. So, there should not be any mention of "temple" for Labor Shrines, only for Labor Temples.

[Fyron]

I just got an idea for a shrine for Nature Ethos (the Deeply Religious trait is separated into 6 different traits) that would protect the planet form Planet Destroying weapons. Can you think of a name for that?

[Fyron]

Actually, the War Shrine and Birth Shrine do not follow the convention, but then, there is no way to get just a planet affecting ability for those, so I guess I never bothered changing them.

[Fyron]

War Shrine:
Hall of Soldiers (perhaps it needs a better term)
Hall of Warriors
Hall of Heroes

Think Valhalla. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

[Fyron]

Here is what's left:
Labor Temple I-III (increases system resource production)
Healing Shrine I-VI (cures level 1 plague and increases planet happiness)
Healing Temple I-III (cures level 2 plague and increases system happiness)
Wisdom Shrine I-VI (increases planet research)
Wisdom Temple I-III (increases system research)

But no worry, if you can't use them 'as is' I'm sure you can yank the words around a bit as it suits you.

[Loser]

Research, planet-wide

Shrine to Reason

Font of Learning
Heart of the Mind

Research, system-wide

Temple of Thought

Oh. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Just healing stuff now. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

[Loser]

Sorry, reused a post again. I just feel silly putting more and more Posts one after another.

anti-plague and happiness, system wide.

Temple of Constitution
Freedom from Affliction
Perfection of the Physical Form

[Fyron]

Thanks! That wraps the religious facilities up. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[Loser]

No Problem.

No, wouldn't work for gas giants... maybe gas giant races could get a Shrine of Coalescence but it would be silly to have two identical, interchangeable facilities...
Shrine of Cosmic Fortitude? Sounds more like something that blocks STAR destroyers, or maybe warp points...
Ward of Gravitation? No, sounds more like a MAGICAL planet protector...
hmmm...

[geoschmo]

Shrine of Gaia?

Still, there's something to be said for the healing power of sex. (cue Marvin Gaye)
