Intergalactic Civil War !!??

I must agree with "Q". Have not sense to me, if we're talking about a full random event.

Half an empire would be a lot but how about one system rebelling or planets rioting? You have to give them a small chance of survival otherwise it is no different than what we have now.

One of the major problems with the rebelling, is that the rebels start with just a planet, likely having unbalanced or non-existant resource production.
I think that when a rebellion happens, the game should figure out which of your planets each of your units/ships is closest to.
If they're close to the rebel's planet, they will join the rebellion.

That way, the rebels will have a chance to do something. If the rebelling planet immediately built a mineral miner & started with full resource storage, then they wouldn't just lay down and die like they do now.

In this same thought, I figured that the ability to incite a civil war, at least in part, would be similar to the Intel Project of Puppet Pollitical Parties. If you look at the parameters for the operation, it allows for a counter of the number of places to target...

To make a long story short, you can not incite rebellion in any more than a single planet at a time.

While the basic ability may be there, the implimentation of it is not. At least not from within the framework of the Intelligence engine.

The original idea i had wasn't to make it a random event i agree it could get crazy. but that could be a possibility. What i had in mind was some sort of thing that triggered it. Then there could be a set goal for the computer to advance towards. Like I said before maybe the homeworld or something like that.

Does the PPP intel project change planet control to the instigator? I've never used it.
If it did maybe it could be changed to revolt.

The PPP intelligence operation, if successful, will result in the planet either revolting and forming their own government (acting much like a neutral); or, the planet will join your empire and be like any other colony in your control.
