Genocide
 

"Homeworld Lost := 100
Any Planet Lost := 50
Any Planet Colonized := -10
Any Our Planet Captured := 50
Any Enemy Planet Captured := -30"

It occurs to me that with one more line and a slight change in this file (happyness.txt) we could make populations that dislike genocide http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif As it is, it doesn't seem to have any reaction form YOUR population when you run around glassing people's planets.

Bloodthirsty - No.
Peaceful - Yes.
Neutral - No.

Maybe we should make a New happiness type: Psychotic and Logical.

Psychotic is Bloodthirsty to a whole new level and Logical are the Bonuses of Peaceful with some of the advantages of Bloodthirsty.

Hi,

I did one a couple of days back:

True Neutral
they prefer non-agression and non-intercourse and reject everything else
battle losses and wins are equal, ties are ignored
ship construction is ignored
new facilities are appreciated, new colonies too

so do not expect much more than a coockoo-clock http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Paranoid
annihilate or dominate your fellow races, so only war is good, domination is ok
do not loose battles
do not let enemy ships enter your space
watch out for plagues (our emperor kills us with deseases)
and do not loose population

I guess they are tough to handle, if you want to tame them go for troops and urban pacification centers

Re: Genocide
 

I like the ideas here with the exception of the True Neutrals but only from the stand point that I would still like to see them somewhat expand more in the game. I never use them for that reason.

PhoenixD have you tried imposing this into game yet? if so how did it work

just some ideas mac

Re: Genocide
 

I think you missread me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

It needs another line to work. Namely, the "Planet lost" lines need an entry for ENEMY planets killed by your ships. Right now you can make a race that gets pissed if you invade someone, but not if you run around glassing.. but not vice versa.

Re: Genocide
 

This is a good idea. It might discourage players from glassing planets rather than taking them over.

Maybe have the setting adversely affect all the empires you're in contact with, as any reputable empire would consider mass murder a bad foreign relations policy.

Re: Genocide
 

Sorry PhoenixD, I did misread. but I do like the idea,

Re: Genocide
 

It's hard enough already to figure out how to capture planets, if you force ppl to capture planets cause of happiness wars would take forever, but it sounds like a good idea for a mod thing, obviously you wouldn't put it in hardcode, i dunno why im even saying htis.
