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.

OK, good save!

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

[edit: oops, I see that you have!]

I have created a new thread entitled Poll/Vote for the civil war feature. I think it would go a long way if everyone who has put so much imput into this idea would take the small amount of time to visit there and cast a vote. Even if you just read this thread for the first time stop on over and tell us what you think.

It would also be a great show of support (if we get a positive response) to MM that evryone really likes this idea.
So get on over there and excercise your SE4 given right to vote. You don't even have to be 18
Thank you in advance for your time

It must be time to tie up these ideas and post them off to MM for consideration.

I like the different levels of upsetness < that's not a word I think>, maybe that's a better way to go than whole sale changes such as losing half your empire to an event. A whole system should go at once though, not just one planet, including any ships in the system.

Nice thread!

To defend my point of view that capturing a capital shouldn't create civil war, I must point out in your (not so pc

) scenario chewy, you were talking about a seat of power being deystroyed. Ok, I see your point... maybe if the capital was glassed. But if it was captured by another empire, either the rebels would join the conquerors or they would Rebel against the conquerors... not their own empire, they've got other things to worry about. As far as glassing a capital, it should lower happiness system wide (and if happiness will be a trigger for civil war, then it will do just what you want it to... just not automatically and EVERY time), and perhaps all production is cut by a third until a new capital is built.

Oh well, that's my 1/50th of a buck.
