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.

Trachmyr as I figure it, loosing your capital would cause massive unhappiness, so as you said many planets probably would riot. Having them split automatically is just another way of doing it. Just to add more importance to the capital.

Aussie I did send in a copy of the latest overview of this thread. Does anyone think more than that should be sent in? Also, does anyone think I should send the vote results in?

Feedback requestd

Trachmyr · #**149** April 20th, 2001, 11:18 PM

Yes I would send in the votes...

P.S. If "capital status" is attached to a building, what happens if the building is deystroyed via "natural Disaster" or by orbital bombardment w/o the attackes actually winning or by intell projects...

Perhaps a compromise is to cause loss of happiness, and do an immediate check to see if civil war occurs... but not automatic!

Sorry, just hitting the equine carcass.

Well I was kinda thinking that the galactic cap would be immune to intell and natural disaster. But if that couldn't be done then yeah there should be a reduction in happiness. As for the orbital bombardment maybe you could give it a Last facility destroyed trait. That would probably insure that whoever destroys it would also take the planet.

And I will send the vote results in. Thanks
