Sent you an email, I ran out of ideas for space province names so I started throwing in sci fi references. Anyway take a look and get back to me when you have the chance.

Sector Alpha, Sector 17-Omega etc etc (Sectors are traditional)

Constellations, horoscopes etc could also be used. Sagittarian Hole, Aquarius Clouds etc.

Or you could name some of them after nearby planets in some fashion. "Betelgeuse 17-My" or whatever.

Congratulations! Take your time, enjoy your newfound fatherhood.

hey thanks.. my son has been born and is doing great. Rdonj: first days I won't be able to do very much so just see where you can go and I'll look at how far you are then.

Amos: great, since GIMP takes about 30 min to start here I'm not going to look now (need to eat, sleep and go to my girl (and our son) in the hospital tomorrow morning again.. all is well though) but I will once I have some time.

Endo thanks for helping us, all help is appreciated.

PS if anyone wants in in the game for which I'll create a thread in the next few weeks just let me know already.

An observation:

My comments on the power of the dragons don't work nearly as well on this map.

My first impression is that Ry'leh will win given anything like parity in power--they simply have so much more territory to expand into.

Aezeal · #7 December 31st, 2008, 05:18 PM

more territory? why? I don't get that all races can go into space.. dragons most easily even since they can all just go there without going to another form..

The nations here are relatively more powerfull so dragons which are balanced in vanilla might seem to have a disadvantage but their high HP will make them survive the first shots and in melee they should still rule supreme (and they fly into that ASAP).. all the AP weapons will be annoying but if it's all too much I'll lower dragon costs a bit during the game.

Only the ice plated dragons can get into the water without items.

PS rdonj (and other testers) is the mod now acceptable for MP?

rdonj · #10 December 31st, 2008, 07:15 PM

I think so, I haven't found any new bugs yet. Aka oni may still be too strong, and there are a few nations I think are going to be a lot stronger than others in the long run, but it should be playable now.
