Intergalactic Civil War !!??

Mac, again good stuff having the originating planet determine those thing s is a good idea. And like was discussed before the colors would probably be changed in the ships along with the flag.

As for the new trigger for an empire wide rebellion, ie civil war, another good idea.

And yes all of these would probably need a hardcode change. But I think a lot of us would be willing to pay for an expansion with this feature in it along with others from Category 2. And like you said in your thread, they could make some money off of it in the process.

I fully support the Civil War Idea. It adds more dimensions to the game. I personally would like to see whole systems break away for reasons of course. Like if you are going through the galaxy glassing every alien planet you should have a rebellion, it only makes sense that people would not like genocide. If you use plague ships, BAM, one whole system breaks away from your empire.

I think my whole point is that I don't see the point of anarchy Groups. They create one easily glassable planet that has about the chance of a snowball behind a Quantum III engine of doing anything significant.


Anyway time for an original idea. Make this Civil War thing like the Mega-Evil Empire trigger but after it. Like you have been fighting the entire galaxy of races for a few years and your people are sick of war. Ya know like in World War I, Russia had a revolution because of the hardships on the country because of the war.

So... If you are MEE too long it kicks in and splits up your systems because they are sick of war. There would have to be a few things to go along with this. After your empire splits there would have to be a reverse MEE trigger.

That's all I have for now. I'll be back though.

Baal, Brilliant!!! another new trigger. Plus it would give some incentive and even necessity to loose the mega evil empire flag. However, some players are so darn good at this game that they can't help becoming the MEE because they outscore everyone by so much. So how do we get around that problem. Perhaps make it really hard to become the MEE?

What does everyone else think?

[Baal]

I don't think it should be an incentive to not become MEE. It's more like an egg timer, it gives you an amount of time to do the Mega-Evil thing or you are back to square one with another empire out there that is just as bad *** as you.

It gives purpose to try to win fast or as I said you are back to square one.

As for the splitting of the empire. It should calculate your size and split you into multipul pieces accordingly. And even better it's coded to give the human player the smallest alotment of planets/ships/stuff.

UNION STRIKE!

all planets / ships / bases with space yards break away from your empire.

if that is overly harsh, how about every planet with some other facility? or maybe 1yr after you research SY-2, each place with a SY-1 has a chance to break off.

[chewy027]

Puke, nice name , this one seems a little harsh to me. Maybe if you are capable of level 3 of some facility but only have level ones then there could be a small chance for revolt. But probably a better way to implement this would be to have a happiness decrease which would eventually lead to revolt and civil war if not taken care of. This way your good idea could be implemented but not so harshly .

Baal, you little devil, this idea is real good but seems dangerous to me. I guess to some players it would be as you say, but to the less timid than it would provide incentive to not become MEE. But i do like the idea and it should be a trigger. Lets keep developing it.

Thoughts?

This discussion makes me think about my earlier repelling emotions towards the AI ANGER.

I totally agree - shouldn't there also be an empire genocide trigger that would affect the MEE anger.
