hi again, ok so to be clear there was no multimaps added just a one solar system map with land mass representing planets and space, is that correct? and is there sea cities yet.
also I know you folks said there is only one alien rival in the whole game. if you don't mind I have some ideas for more alien rivals for the galactic era and/or the future era
I was told here more aliens are not realistic to do because of some other reasons and because they would be huminoid. they don't have to be huminoid, they can look much different. in a old space adventure game made in 1991 there wwere unique looking aliens that were completely alien and were not huminoid. these aliens looked really weird and not all of them had bone structures. like for example one alien were like jelly fish that breathed water and communicated bye flashing light threw there body with light signals and a weird sound. then there was a ostrage like thing with no wings with a long neck and one big eye at the end. another was this green alien oval attached to a neck and weird shaped head. on the head were 2 weird looking eyes and something like a bird beak/fish mouth suction cup ting with long hose arms attacked to the sides of the face that were red at the ends for something like hands but no fingers. they moved by hovering or floating around in the air that looked like 4 or 5 feet above the ground or surface. these examples are not humanoid aliens at all so why cant you use something like these aliens for the late game or just use a symbol pic to represent the different aliens? the alien spaceships and stuff can be a different model design for each different alien species or the same model with the symbol like in the final frontier mod. just use the moo2 mod galactic map or final frontier galactic map/mabey randomly generated for when you advance into the galactic era or get the right tech/techs, how does that sound? is that a good idea? I am happy with that instaid of having to build a galactic map from scratch but either is fine with me.

ok, for me, I will not play it until that is done I also think a mod mod could be made for this like rocks to rocks or what ever its called that could have vast changes to gameplay or older graphics or some changes to make it play or operate faster for old and new computers, pehaps taking a lot of content out like bonus buildings and alternative history units because it is a very big mod and merging technology and stuff in a possible mod modfor shorter content that may make the game run much faster and less bugs.
