Again, thanks for the feedback Q

I think you will be one of the players who toggles this option OFF in the game setup

both, definitly a 10. And make everything optional so the people who want to play the original game 'untouched' can. One question though, how would the civil war thing work for people who start with 10 planets?? All ten are 'homeworlds' are they not?

I definately like the civil war idea as well. The way it was handled in Civ I and II was very balanced, and did not upset the gameplay at all. In fact, in early games, it made the mad dash to take the capital city while the empire was suffering from low morale a major strategic endeavor. I'd give it a 10 as well. As others have stated already, I do agree with the toggle at game startup to switch this feature off, if need be.

BTY Deathstalker, good point, The answer to your question is in the civil war thread. Any new suggestions/ideas are welcome

I think that it would basically game over for anyone getting it!
As of now the worst that can happen is a loss of one system to a nova or black hole forming.
So I give it a 1 as well.

Anyone who has this happen to them is almost certainly going to lose the game.

I'd give it a 5 if it was optional,
a 7 if it heavily depended on happiness,
and a 9 if the size of the rebellion depended on how big your empire is compared to everybody else. (Ie. if you're Last place, the rebellion is very minor, if you're first by a lot, then it could be up to half your empire)

10. I like the option for keeping peacekeepers peacefull and bloodthirsty on the warpath. I also lean towards the idea of making this a really heavy intel project as discussed early in the other thread; ie 1 mil intell points or so (take over a year for even a large and developed empire to run).
