Proportions....

[dogscoff]

are we doing proportions wish lists? OK, here's mine for the next Version:

-Hive cities/ hive cultural centres/ hive components, as previously suggested.

-Planet,SW & RW creation techs should require tech level 7,8 & 9 respectively in planet utilisation. Just to make those technologies even more of an overpriced ego trip=-)

-The larger cities (metropolis and above) should require research in psychology - that tech area is currently only good for the urban pacification centre. It makes sense to flesh it out a little, and urban planning does require understanding of psychology.

-More city/ settlement types! How about a college/ universtity/campus facility family? They could have high research output, some intel and maybe a little resource production. They could also have a (very limited) ship/ fleet training ability and perhaps some effects on population growth/ happiness. The first level would be immediately available but subsequent facilities would require the Research & urban development tech trees.

-Convert the religious shrines into families of city-like facilities: for example the fate shrine would be a bit like a colonial community or minor city but with the fate shrine ability attached to it, representing a whole religious community. Then you could upgrade it to a fate temple, fate monastary (or something), and the same for the other shrines.
