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.

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

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.

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.

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

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?

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.
