C2C - Galactic Era

Thank you very much, I was confused on the relationship between the two.

 

No problem, the two have only been publicly known since the 90s and do tend to be confused a lot

Hey, thanks. I'll just copy paste my suggestion.

Hey guys, I was playing through the game and one thing that stuck out is the lack of THINGS in the far galactic era. Heres a very very small suggestion, hope someone sees this. But for biopunk there can be a building that lets you train or just outright lets you train some sort of biological abomination(s). I don't know the stats/hammers for them, but for skins I thought the old super soldier skins for rise of mankind (or the UUs for that cthulhu religion in FFH2) would be perfect. That and I noticed this mod has no problem using skins from FFH2 so i don't think that would be a problem.

 

There is actually a unit from one of the FfH modmods called "Abomination", it's a Horror of Tzeentch (sp?) converted from Dawn of War. Check the Scions of Patria civ in RifE.

 

Thats great. I went back and read up on the multi-map compatibility. It never occurred to me it would ever be possible to mod something like that into the game. But I suppose if Warlock: Master of the Arcane can do it, so can civ 4. But one question, how do you expect to create competition at that stage of the game. Usually I own most of the world at that era and I expect if any rival nation manages to create colonies on the moon or mars before I do or alongside me they will eventually stand no chance. Thats just the case in civ 4. To remedy that, will there be any alien event to spawn an alien nation on a planet triggered after a certain tech is researched or something? You know, to create a formidable foe.

Thanks for reading the suggestions.

 

That religion stuff sounds interesting. Im looking forward to see how you guys pull it off. By the way, I really enjoy the haven and hearth thumbnails for most of the resources

 

No the stuff like leather,wax,clothing,berries, etc.

 

I wondered who would notice where those were from.

 

Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash has started production to be made into a movie. Just Like Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game, and Isaac Asimov's Foundation.
Not to forget Neuromancer - would make a great addition to the cyber-punk alternate era or the Trans-human ages.
Looks like we're in for some great Sci-fi movies soon. I look forward to eventually exploring these ideas in C2C!

 

These are all the space games I own, if you know of a good space game not listed let me know so I can play it and see if anything in it can be added to the Galactic Eras.

AI war : Fleet Command (alien Bundle)
Galactic Civilizations II Ultimate
Sword of the Stars Ultimate
Sid Mielders Apha Centauri and Alien Crossfire
Endless Space (BOUGHT IT TODAY!!)
Distant World Legends
Homeworld 1
Homeworld II
Master of Orion II
Armada 2526 Gold
Nexus: The Jupiter Incident
Sins of a Solar Empire : Rebellion
Freelancer
Space Empires V
Star Ruler Gold
Space colony
Starbase Orion
10 Min space Strategy
Haegemonia: Legions of Iron
Imperium Galactica II: Alliances

 

In no particular order ...

1. Outpost (1994) and I suppose Outpost 2 (1997), but its not as good as the original.

2. Spore (2008) for the Space Phase.

3. I never played it but hear M.U.L.E (1983) was an awesome game.

4. Anno 2070 (2011) looks cool but I think it has strict DRM.

Note that I personally own Outpost 1, Outpost 2 and Spore (with expansions).

EDIT: And I suppose Starcraft I and II should be on the list too if we are going into sci-fi space games.

EDIT2: Here are some I have seen Quill do "Lets Plays" videos for ...

6. SunDog: Frozen Legacy (1984)

7. Fate of the World (2011) is not really scifi but goes into the near future.

 

Ascendancy, very old but is now an iPad game. I really liked its space ship building. You would build the hull and give it a basic engine hen move it towards the front line for upgrades to the engine and the addition of weapons and shields.

 

you can also look at the Mass Effect serie: it's not a strategic game like the ones linked above, but it has an interesting background to take ideas from

 

Of course there are a bunch of space games I could name, the majority of which don't even have a line of technology tied to it. But I won't mention them. I will, however, mention the one I'm making which has a HUGE line of technology that deals from now to then which I've actually been making in parallel to giving C2C and the old ATOM the techs that I have been giving. Of course there's been a few techs that I haven't released here as I want to release it first as a part of my game but I could give Hydro my notes and see if he's up to making any additions with what I have - given we handle them with excessive caution.

@MrAzure
While looking at other games for the Galactic era is fine, please do note that the majority of technologies would not fit in with C2C from a purely theoretically correct point of view. In addition, I'd like to point out that C2C and ATOM were and still are about the HOW of tech A to tech Z instead of just piling up content from techs delta, zeta and pita. Those don't fit in A to Z and I think I'd be right in saying we'd (Hydro, SO, others and I) like to keep it within the confines of A to Z and show the HOW instead of the WHAT like what you are trying to compile.

Don't get me wrong, we love your ambition, but your ambition is pointed in the wrong direction. Also, as others have mentioned, please keep all your thoughts documented and open for display for others to comment on. I know back when I was working on ATOM that I had to wait for Hydro to comment to continue work and Hydro would direct my list back at me with tweaks. Before we knew it we had a working tech list that many others envied. You have to slow down and do the same. If you want to work on C2C and legitimate additions, please be courteous to others and the project as a whole and abstain from radical ideas that would otherwise be tossed in a second or would be redundant or trivial in the scope of C2C's goal.

 

@Hydromancerx, in your original post you forgot giant and supergiant for star size and you forgot mass effect relays for propulsion.

Otherwise very cool looking!!!
