...more common events, perhaps?

Those seem to be rather uncommon events.

Jedi makes holocron + culture and maybe XP
Sith Makes holocron + culture and maybe XP

2 that came off the top of my head probably not super common though

Return of the Jedi
Katana Fleet


Those could be quests like
build 2 Jedi masters and 5 jedi knights and if you have the jedi temple youu get an extra bonus

This could be build the Katana Fleet
build 10 dreadnoughts

Would that be if you have a damaged ship unit The Mechanic will fix it for ??? Gold?

yes; your gold should be called credits

Thats a ggod idea

no idea, but i know its possible theyre credits in final frontier

I was just wondering what i'd have to edit, but we definately should have it as credits.

umm... i think its TextInfosObjets and CIV_IVArtDefines_Interface, youll have to check it out, look at the final frontier stuff

You don't have to make the text files like that- you can lump all of your text together.

Anyway, there's a change to CIV4YieldInfos.xml in FF for this, so you can double-check there.

Maybe a better name than :Hall of Fame of Great People, maybe without the Great People part, because thats confusing; great people are already in the game.

^ya civ you can change whatever i was just trying to think of stuff up sort of fast

I've changed a few things but not much it was a good idea

A couple inspired by the books:

Teljkon Vagabond (from Black Fleet Crisis trilogy, http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Teljkon_Vagabond)

A team from your civ have discovered the purpose of the mysterious Teljkon Vagabond. It is a colony ship of sorts meant to restore the lost Quella race.

- Help the Vagabond fulfil its purpose and melt the Quella homeworld.
Expensive, but good option. Free great person or culture.

- Tear the ship apart to learn from its unique technology.
Cheaper and evil. Science boost.

- We can't afford to do anything, let it go.
No cost, no reward.


Mad Jedi (from the ongoing Fate of the Jedi series)

The Jedi in your civ have started to randomly to suffer from psychotic breakdowns, believing that everyone around them are replaced by imposters and lashing out blindly against everything. (Effects might be something like the slave revolt in regular game. Obviously you got to have Jedi to get this.)

- Co-operate with Jedi Council to find the cure.
Expensive and causes a little unhappiness (the rogue jedi keep escaping and causing mischief), but solves the problem pretty fast.

- Incarcerate the rogue Jedi and have them frozen in carbonite.
Cheaper and doesn't cause unhappiness because it's seen as decisive action, but the problem goes away slower.

- The Jedi are dangerous vigilantes, exile them all.
Problem goes away, but so do the Jedi.

I'm not that happy with the latter, because I'd like to know what eventually happens with this plot, but the series is only 2 books in with 3rd coming out in few days and it'll be a 9 book series.

These are great idea I'll add a few i know from the book to

There is a large population of people who gamble on Televised pod-racing in _______ (city)

-We should organize a pod-racing track and host events!
+2 Happiness
-50 Gold

-We should send fake government gamblers and rig the races, well make tons of credits!
-2 Happiness
+100 gold
- Im busy go away

Nice, but one minor point. It's common in SW universe to find cool sounding replacements for everyday items. A clock is chrono, for example. They don't drive cars, they drive speeders. They probably have holographic projectors instead of TVs, or if they have TVs, they call them "flatscreens or something. "Holovised" instead of "televised" maybe, or does that sound too lame?

:rolleyes: this is mainly attributed to lazy authors, but some of it might be OK
Just no Caf dumbest idea ever

Lazy authors, eh? Ol' GL is worst of them all. At Lars farm they don't drink milk, but blue milk!

Lazy authors, eh? Ol' GL is worst of them all. At Lars farm they don't drink milk, but blue milk!

But blue milk actually exists, or something like it

Hmm maybe... I guess the point I was clumsily trying to make that the "familiar, yet strange" style has been in Star Wars since the beginning and personally I like how the authors built on it. After all Star Wars is less science and more fiction and the point is to have Flash Gordon style adventures on Jabbas Sail barge, rather than pondering how the existence of droids would affect society or whatever.

Exactly.

A blatant ripoff of the "find holy peak" quest, but... keep in mind that it can happen for either Jedi OR Sith.

Jedi/Sith scholars are certain that the home planet of their kind is out there. Finding it and colonizing it before anyone else does will allow the Scholars to do much research into their origins. This quest is open to all factions.

If ??? Jedi/Sith temples are built, the Scholars should be able to triangulate where the planet is.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Allow the Jedi/Sith to spread the gained knowledge across your empire; +1000 Research Points
-Glorify the accomplishment in the name of your empire; Starts a Golden Age
-Plunder the artifacts acquired; +1 unhappiness on all planets with a Jedi/Sith temple, +???? Credits.
-Emphasize the cultural significance of this event;+1 Happiness on all planets in your empire, +4 culture/turn on all planets.

Just putting this out there- but any random events that need python I'll be happy to write the code for. :)

After you guys start plugging the events into the XML and see what can or can't be done by XML, tell me and I'll write the python. (Like for the "Origin Planet", quests need python).

Star Wars is Space Opera not Sci-Fic its the fiction that keeps us apart from the TREK

The Jedi and sith know where they come from
sith = Ziost
jedi = ossus

The Jedi and sith know where they come from
sith = Ziost
jedi = ossus

He means the species, not the religion/organization. The Jedi/Sith are the scholars who have found the origin of whatever your species is.

Oh my bad

The Jedi and sith know where they come from
sith = Ziost
jedi = ossus

Thats interesting that the Jedi religion origonated on a place named Ossus, that probably has something to do with the fact that in latin (maybe its greek i forget lol) Oss roughly translated means bone

Star Wars takes many ideas from things like that

Actually, Tython was the home of the Jedi. But considering the necessity for exploration and colonization, Ossus/Tython and Ziost could need re-finding, ergo the "find the origin" spot. It's force religion origin, NOT species origin.

Just because the name is known doesn't mean that the location is known. For example, Ossus was abandoned for ~4000 years after the Cron Cluster was destroyed. Duh.

But they refind it after the Yuuzhan Vong War. They remake the temple and start using it again during the legacy era.

Exactly, which would make this a perfect mission, because the tech advances, time advances. This doesn't start after the Yuuzhan Vong war otherwise there wouldn't be very much canon tech to advance to. Think up better excuses, pl0x.:mischief:
