The Suggestor
There is one simple feature that I wish to see in Beyond Earth is the ability to terraform the world based on affinity. By changing the graphics of my improvements such as mines, farms, academy, terra scaping, and other improvements to reflect based on the Affinity of your choice, for example, my farms that I build as a supremacy, are automated vertical farms, towering above the landscape producing food and biofuel. The reason that I wish to see more graphical Improvement is so I can see how strong the affinity of my choice represents on the world and show how powerful it became as I nurtured it and watch it thrive and grow besides seeing how my city changes based on what affinity I choose.
For this idea to come to fruition, we need to develop unique graphics on each and every single Improvement based on affinity and show it's display on your territory; if possible outside of your territory if it overwhelms the opposite affinities. If your affinity has at least +5 more points then your opponents affinity, your affinity spreads among the terrain slowly as it grows upon the world. Rather you choose to turn the world into a machine, or turn the land into a utopian paradise for humans, or watch how nature overtakes the world as plants overrun everything like a jungle.
I want to see this happen so I am trying to see if I could find a way to do this as well without having to spend a cent (which seems to be very slim as far as I know). I want to find a way on how to implement changes of improvement based on territory; there must be some type of way to show at least a timer for the improvement to turn via a timer (like the old civilization 4 improvement upgrading). Also if my affinity is strong, it can turn the terrain into my affinity choice causing an increase of bonuses on those with the same affinity (food, production, culture, etc), but not much of an improvement if your the opposing affinity.
If you wish to tag along with me on this, I might learn some new things on my path of becoming a modder and hope to see this come into fruition, as I want to see other modders borrow my concept when they make larger mods appear in the future. Who knows when someone make a Fantasy based mod similar to Fall From Heaven to appear here in Beyond Earth forums that uses my concept.
Right now I am trying to find out how to make all of this happen, I need a graphic art program that is free that allows me to make new graphics, find a way for the affinity to take the newly made terrain or improvement based on your own territory and find a way to make a milestone or progression that could make the terrain transform outside your territory after reaching a certain goal (overpowered by affinity, growth of terrain, other conditions). I might need some help along with some people to help out on this project.
