I new to using XML and still getting my head around it. I'm suggesting a MOD which will play more or less the same until you get to future tech stage or mybe until you sucessfuly launch a space ship. After which new units and buildings become available. (Items you wounld expect to see in the futher or mybe in AlfaC). If any one would like to have a go at it before I get up to speed please feel free to do so, but I will need help with graphics(skins) as I am hopeless with them. The names of most of the suggestions are only to give you a good idea of what i'm thinking and will probably change.



New units would inclued:

Starfighter(air). These would be able to travel large distanes and cant be intercepted by normal aircraft but can only bombard and rize cities/units.
Its chance of sucess can be reduced by the MSDN (Microwave satilite defence net - Wounder). Like nukes and the SDI.

Laser SAM. These would be able to shoot down any battleship within 3-4 squares. (they would work like intersept dose for fighters but dont need to be in a city had have little defence to gound units)

Star-defender. These would be an upgrade to the fighter to enable it to defend agist star-fighters.

Space bommer. These Units would have no defence at all but would travel so high and fast that they can only be attacked when they are on the ground. There only abilty is to bombard with a 20% sucess rate due to the height at which they travel. This could go up to 30% if recon is done on the area in the same turn or reduced by MSDN. It would also have a high maintinance cost as it need a lot of fule. Also these will only be able to run a bombard mission for an airfield(Terain mod). They will be built in a city and then have to be rebased to an air field before they came bombard.( this is to make it easier to attack them so they are no nearly invenable). PS: the unit would be invisable be the airfield would not. Don't know how the AI will respond to that.

Spy-Plane: This unit would have no strength and can only do long distane recon missions. It would be useful with the space bommer and the Modern artilery.

Futher armor. These would be invisable until they attacked or another unit tries to enter its square also more powerful than a modern armor.It would also be able to ignore boarder rules.

Future Infantry. The sole role of this unit is to seek out and defend cities agenist futher armor. It will be able to detect invisable and be able to move a square or two faster that the futher armor.

Modern artilery: These would be able to fire/bombard any square on the map but only if a plane is present in the area to guide it to its target(recon). Also the futher the target the lower the chance of hitting that target.

Hover tank: Can travel and attack on land or water

Laser Trooper: An upgrade for the marine.

Ranger: Like the laser trooper but using the lanch pad (city improvement) can be placed any place on the map (airdrop) with a 80% chance of sucess, reduced by MSDN or if the unit tries to land on top of an emeny unit but will be detroyied if it tries to land next to or on a laser SAM.

Forgin national: This unit would be like a spy would look like the emeny(There fore invesable) but could only pillage improvements. Don't know if I could get this one to work properly.

Hummer: A fast unit with multi first strike and withdraw abilities and a little less strength than a Future Infantry.

Mega Nuke: Same a nuke but will completly distroy everything in the tile and surounding tiles it lands in. It will be very very expensive and have a limited range it would also be affect by the SDI and MSDN.

Nuclear Sub: Carries 1 Mega nuke and is slow due to its sise.

Cost Gaurd: Can detect subs but not very strong.

Stelth Boat: Is invisable and can carry troops across water.

Also updates for battleship destroyer ect....



Update worker to build new improvements like:-

Airfield: for Space bommer - above.

Undergrund Bunker: units that are stored(forified) here become inivsable while they stay there. can maybe only done on hill tiles???

Tubes: like in AlphaC.



City Improvements:

Med Lad: +3 health

Sky-lab: +1 resurch, +1 gold

Lanuch Pad: Needed to build and deploy(airlift) laser troopers and to build some of the new air units and to build MSDN wounder sky lab.

RoboFactory: Increes hammers

Cyper Vision: +2 Happy

RoboCleaner: +1 Health

Processing plant: +1 gold +1 health

Army base: Make barriks opsulite, Two promotion to new units, need to build some of the new MOD units.

RoboEscort: +2 happy, +1 gold



Wounders:
MSDN: microwave satilite defence net, Like SDI and explained above in unit

AlphC: Only the first team to land on alphaC will get the benifits of this mod free lanch pad in every city.

OPEN TO ANY SUGGESTIONS???????????????



Resorces

Dilitium: needed to power some new units

Hidocradonate: Needed for the hull of new ships land units



Tech's

I will need a few new techs too to revile new resorces and to make new units available. I'M OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS HERE.



I will add more as i think of it any suggestion are welcome. and if any one can do or show me how to do skins ithere very welcome. Also I hope i posted this in the correct place if not please let me know.
Thanks.
 
Has nobody any suggestion for this mod, It dosn't seem to be very popular. Did I post it in the worng place or is it that no one has interest in this mod. Let me know please should I keep working on it or will I just leave it.
 
I think this mod has immence probability... im surprised Firaxis didnt think about taking the game into the future. it would also be cool if, after you launch the space ship, you colonized a new planet... just an idea...

All your ideas and suggestions are good, i would like to see alot of the wonders/units/ buildings from civ 2 be reterned.

as for the fact that there are other space mods out there: those plan to restructure the whole game, from ancient to future. this one is only ADDING the futrure in at the end. so they are different

(P.S. im totally useless at moding too)

well u see i think the reason y theres not 2 many people posting is like theres already 1-2 future mods waiting for devolpment like space wars not 2 metion star trek http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=140532
i say insted of making 20 diffrent one lets put all of our ideas in one mod

I've seen those threads and they are doing themed mod based on star wars/treck, where say, there is no ocean or water at all but free space and each continent is a planet and there is no trees or grass but moon rock and taraformed mars dust ect.....

My mod is still on earth, but instead of going through the ages upto the present the MOD would go on into futhure not space. The names of the new units are prob off-putting and I only used those names to try to describe what the units would do. Because these units are from the futhure there is nothing that I can compare them to give the idea of what I'm thinking except comparing them to things that would have been seen in sci-fi flims which are nearly set in space. When I have graphics for the units I'll pick a name that better suits.
 
To hell with the lot of ye, I've seen on other threads the skills people have and the feedback they get. This is ment to be a place to share information yet all I have gotten is bullsh%t from everyone with the exception of one. Is every one on this site a self centered fool or did I just post this thread in the wrong topic
 
There was an old TBS game called "Deadlock" which had an excellent tech tree.
This is just a sample of what they had, sans the ones already in vanilla Civ4 (Medicine, Fusion, Electronics, and Metallurgy mostly):
Spoiler :
Shockwave Projector (Sonic Weaponry)
Cloning
Synthetic Fertilizer
Molecular Bonding
Fusion Cannon
Neutrionic Fuel
Chaos Computers
Anti-Matter Containment

I could help, shall I try making Sea Cities ingame?
 
Thanks for your in put Lads the tech tree was just what i needed. Kaisergaurd I don't understand what you mean by "I could help, shall I try making Sea Cities ingame?" but any help you can give even only a little would be great.
