Feature Wanted: Advanced Scorched Earth

[mac5732]

A scorched earth ability would be nice/logical, HOWEVER, this would have to be balanced within the game or it knocks the games balance out of wack. You would have to come up with a counter reaction for the employment of said weapon. Possible ideas (opinions & ideas only)

1. Certain race populations would have negative reaction if their race employed said weaponn where happiness would go down with each application. This would not fit all races tho

2. This would reduce the AI players attitude towards you for every say 2 planets bombed to the point war could break out

3. AI players would break all treaties with the bombing player after a certain random number of planets is bombed

4. Some AI players would go to immediate war if implemented, with harder chance at obtaining a treaty after the outbreak

5. Harder to obtain treaties or certain types of treaties with AI players.

6. In addition, certain races (xenophobic) would jubuliantly employ this weapon and the population would become happier as they are fullfilling the prime directive of extermination of all other races.

Just some ideas mac
