Re: Poll/Vote for Civil War feature
 

For right now, I give the idea a 6. It would get a 10, except that I'd rather see MM work on other stuff first (e.g., improve AI, improve diplomacy, make IntelOps realistic [no PPP of a jubilant planet], improve trading, release SaveGameFile editor, enable linking to other games for combat, expand tech tree). Also, some of this stuff MUST be worked on first, or Civil War won't work as intended.

Re: Poll/Vote for Civil War feature
 

I think an Intergalactic Civil War is the best idea posted yet - I've been following these threads for quite some time now. You are one creative guy! My vote is a 10, I'd even give it 27 if I could. LMTY

Re: Poll/Vote for Civil War feature
 

I vote 10.
I really like the idea of conquered aliens revolting. I also like 1 rioting planet setting off a chain reaction & causing revolt if left unattended.

Re: Poll/Vote for Civil War feature
 

Does anyone else want to vote? I know there are more than 31 people on this forum, and it would be great if everyone gave some input since this feature would effect the games that you will eventually be playing. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon12.gif

Re: Poll/Vote for Civil War feature
 

0 points.

a) this will kill some player more or less randomly

b) the AI couldn't cope with it

c) adds tons of MM without giving much addition to gameplay .. unless you prefer bombing your own position (rebels) to messing with other players

d) msut be hard-coded and there are lots more promising features/ideas and even more bugs to cover

Sorry folks, big 'thumbs down' from me !

Remember, perfection is when there's nothing there that could be left out - not when there couldn't be added any more stuff !

Thanks for the feedback Arralen http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

A few questions though: How would it kill someone randomly? In B what is MM and why don't you think it would add gameplay?

Also don't you think it would be more realistic?

Re: Poll/Vote for Civil War feature
 

This is a vey good idea i give it a ten based on the fact that it makes it a lot easier to conquer a race and it also has a downfall so it has to be thought through before you destroy a homeworld.

I think in this case MM means micromanagement (as opposed to Malfador Machinations, obviously)...

Re: Poll/Vote for Civil War feature
 

Thanks for clearing that up Director. BTW what is your vote for this feature? http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon12.gif

Re: Poll/Vote for Civil War feature
 

Imagine how annoying it would be if Chewy were female. Would you stop nagging everyone to vote already.

(I'm just playing with you, right)

And no, I'm not in the mood to vote right now. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Poll/Vote for Civil War feature
 

I kinda like the idea, but I kinda don't. I'll have to say a 5. If the AI could be tweaked to go after homeworlds (especially if you're MEE), thus kicking off the civil war, that would add some thrill to the game.

I'm pretty careful to put population happiness facilities everywhere to keep the people Jubilant, so losing the Capitol Planet would be the only way to start the civil war. Seems like the AI has a bit more trouble with happiness, so the AI's would be breaking into war more often.

You could also add more Civ stuff to the idea of a capitol, and use the corruption factor (i.e., planets far from the capital have a production penalty). But again, that might harm the AI more than a human, unless the AI were designed to take that into account.

well the vote has been sent we now await a reply http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Poll/Vote for Civil War feature
 

Well, Aaron said he appreciated the poll and said that the idea has been added to the TOP of the wanted list http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon10.gif

Success http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon12.gif

Re: Poll/Vote for Civil War feature
 

Way to go! Now don't get to poll happy http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Poll/Vote for Civil War feature
 

I give the idea a 10.

Re: Poll/Vote for Civil War feature
 

thanks for the votes tenryu

Re: Poll/Vote for Civil War feature
 

I give the idea a 10 too.... as if my opinion counts....

Seriously though, it needs to be able to be turned off, could really kill a pbw game.

Re: Poll/Vote for Civil War feature
 

thanks for the vote zero...and yes your opinion does count. About 6 or 7 months ago when i sent the results of this pole into Aaron he took the idea very seriously and said that he would move it to the top of the features list for either a patch (least likely), expansion pack (up in the air), or SE5 (most likely) I'll just send in all the new votes when it seems like everyone stopped voting.

Re: Poll/Vote for Civil War feature
 

I give it a 6
It's a good idea and would be interesting to see, but don't think it's a priority right now.

Re: Poll/Vote for Civil War feature
 

thanks for the vote andres.

actually just about everyone who hasn't given the idea a 10 has said that they would rather see other stuff done first.

Re: Poll/Vote for Civil War feature
 

I totally agree, i would give it a 10 easy. idea: start a real poll (like the old things taht had a voting option).

edit: galactic war is totally on it, great ideas

[ 03 December 2001: Message edited by: Skulky ]</p>

Re: Poll/Vote for Civil War feature
 

a 10. Regardless of what you may want in front of it I think it itself is a 10 level feautre even if someothers may be better 10's. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Poll/Vote for Civil War feature
 

skulky and Cyrien thanks for your votes, but just so you know skulky, nothing in this idea is set in stone. Any ideas or opinions you or anyone else might have are welcome, thats why i brought back the discussion in the first place. To get some new opinions and ideas flowing again. I realize the thread is long, and the summary is relatively long too, but there are a lot of good ideas in there already.

As for starting a real poll for opinions I'm not sure what you mean by that cause originally any opinions or ideas went in the main thread and votes went here.

[ 03 December 2001: Message edited by: chewy027 ]</p>

Re: Poll/Vote for Civil War feature
 

Civil War/Rebellion:

As long as there is some clear feed back to the player that his/her people are getting ticked off, or a documented explanation as to what the triggers are, then I'd vote whole heartedly...

10!!

Edit: Oh, and make the "no emotion" trait immune, finally something good about being Vulcan http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

thanks for the vote jimbob as for emotionless being immune i think that was suggested already, I'll just second the notion by you.
