Intergalactic Civil War !!??

OK Trachmyr. I could see your point if your talking about a civilized nation. But lets take an African country for example. If ther seat of govt would be destroyed suddenly, who knows how many rebel Groups would pop up and try to claim control. Now take that concept and put it in space. If a center of govt 20 million lightyears away is destroyed don't you think the outlying colonies or even the core worlds would have rebelling factions that arise? In my opinion tht is the way it would be. They'd want to break off and start their own empire. And the more planets that join them the better chance they have. Thus a civil war would break out.

Thoughts?

Please excuse me if this has been suggested before but this thread is getting real long and I'm getting lazy in my old age.
Perhaps there should be an intermediate step before civil war, a period of civil disorder. If the conditions for civil war are met then all of a specific systems planets begin to riot. If after a random period of time, say sometime between 1 and 2 years, the rioting isn't stopped then the system rebels. If this could be implemented then at least you would have some warning of a rebellion.
If possible all positive happiness modifiers should be negated during the civil disobedience time except those caused by troops and ships.

I like it but maybe instead of 1 to 2 years have it as 5 turns or .5 years. Even so if the Homeworld is captured or destroyed there would be immediate war. But that could work for the happiness trigger.

Here's a thought: I think you just offended an entire continent-worth of people.

Nitram Draw , earlier in thread it was suggested that levels would be added to go from Rioting to complete civil disobedience and then to insurrection. The longer a planet was in insurrection the more chance of rebellion and etc.

DMM , in regards to ruthless govt's, the happiness is based on each individual Race's racial traits similiar to present game. I.E. some races would drop due to treaties, others would not, some drop due to war or losing battles, others don't, and so on, losing your home world & govt. center would have a large effect on your pop. Maybe we should change to word happiness to
racial attitudes, therefore even with a ditatorship type govt. specific events would still trigger attitude changes among the pop to the point where they want to over throw the govt and install a new one, & the longer the attitude remains at that or a lower level
the higher the chance of revolt.

just some ideas Mac

PS. (chewy congrats on your promotion) mac

dmm sorry dodn't mean to offend anyone, it's just that the African political climate is always changing and that was the first place to come to mind. Maybe instead of saying civilized I meant stable.

I knew you didn't mean any harm; just tweakin' ya.
BTW, have you stopped using BTY?
