C2C - Transhuman Era

[ls612]

@MrAzure:

1. If I was reading the article correctly, Gen IV reactors will still be fission based, not fusion. Therefore, it can be called Advanced Fission Power, as we have many techs that are Advanced *whatever*.

2. That's fine, flavor-wise it is fine to have Thieves and Criminals upgrade to Hackers, I have no issue with that. Mechanics-wise, Hackers have entirely different ways of doing damage to the enemy and spreading crime than the other Thief units. Cyberwarfare is definitely something that can be fleshed out for the Transhuman Era.

3. OK, how about Advanced Stealth?

@MrAzure and ls612

Please make sure ...

1. Ion Propulsion (TECH_INTERSTELLAR_TRAVEL) is at X75 Y3 on the tech tree.

2. Astro-Environmental Systems (TECH_SPACE_COLONIES) is at X73 Y7 on the tech tree.

These techs are leftovers from RoM/AND and were converted into other techs but still retain the old tags since they had stuff depending upon them and caused errors when removed. You should add a note next to the code to remind you that they are not Interstellar Travel and Space Colonies, but Ion Propulsion and Astro-Environmental Systems.

Thanks!

@ Hydro
Will take care of it.

To do list:

I just wanted to let you know - you have Cyberimmunology (TECH_ACYBERIMM) listed twice in the tech tree. I think you should remove one of them.

No! Okay ive been a lurker hear since August 2011, and ive been reading almost every post for the past year.

Im actually a futurist nerd girl. I have some Tech/Buildings ideas.

OMG can we clone you? I did not think they existed!

LOL, they keep quiet so they will not to be cloned and less valued.

Not exactly best way to encourage more women to participate, but hopefully MarisellaB will know she is valued and invited to keep participating. We definitely need a female perspective on what could be improved!

Hopefully inspirational, I would look for mods, and games based on it with 3d models and technologies that could be considered.

Azure asked me to do the following from his list for the Digital Era.

Delete
-Intelligent Pavement (merge with Automated Services]
-Whole Brain Emulation [ merge with Binary Neurochemistry)
-Codebank Mercenaries [merge with DEFCON Tactics]
-prototype tanks

Add
-Digicult
-Prometheus
-Virtuoso

This is what Azure told me to add for the Digital Era.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_religious_ideas_in_science_fiction

Digicult- A class of religion based on a popular massive multiplayer online game, with millions of "fans" worshiping digital monotheism or polytheism gods .
The name Digicult comes from Digital + Cult.
[World of warcraft, Runescape, Final Fantasy]

Prometheus (C2C original)
Similiar to the original story of Prometheus; (who is said to have wanted to give man equal footing with the gods by giving man fire), this religion believes ancient alien life, 514,000 years ago populated Earth with humans. They found the humans marooned on a moon colony 57,000 light years from Earth. To save the last of the species, they decided to give Earth in the Sol system as their home.

This religion believes their is a civilization called the Qu with god-like powers,[they are a Dimension Era society], and its human destiny to meet their creators. This religion also believes the Qu gave humans the gifts of rationality, reasoning, critical thinking, and abstract intelligence.

[Based on the book Hydro made me read, the Qu and the Promethus legend]

Virtuoso- A class of religion based inside a virtual reality console, where millions of followers worship monotheism or polytheism gods with a "Heaven Console", a modified virtual reality console that can generate an artificial heaven as well as an artificial earth.

The name Virtuoso is used as it proper word meaning excellence.
[The Tv Show Caprica, Truman Show]

Could we hold off please on the Digicult and Virtuoso techs please? I am generally opposed to adding more religions, both for balance (we already have 26 of them!) and other reasons (VR religions, really?) other than that, seems like reasonable changes, although we really need to prune the TH era, it's getting slightly bloated.

Thats what he said to do the Techs like, they will be placeholders for now, and he said to do what Hydro and Vokraya (spelling??) says only.

He said digital religions exist right now, a lot of people worship the gods of many MMROPGS, and in the future this type of worship will be more mainstream.

He said VR religions were in the TV show Caprica, based off Battlestar Galactica.

 

[Sarah Starlight]

oh down his list he said
Advanced Fission Power-> Generation IV Reactor
Biogenetic Warfare -> Genetic Warfare

page 1 / 37.

I know what he said, but the whole future religions concept is controversial, with of course myself opposing it. I still oppose it, and would prefer that it not be added.

By the way, how are you intending to add stuff? Post it on the forums for critique?

Well this is what he told me verbally , (he is my roommate):

1. Post what he has in his Word document little by little to this thread.

2. Wait for Hydros and/or Vokarya response, they usually will give one by 9pm the next day.
"Treat Silence from them as a sign that its okay".

3. Do the XML for Techs, Gametext, quotes..copy from his word document.

4. If hydro wants, send the xml to him to add to the SVN. if hydro is cool with it, upload as MrAzure.

5. Dont worry how much you do, its a hobby.

 

[Sarah Starlight]

umm..this is the religion count

digital- 3
cyber-7
nano-8
solar-6
Interstellar- 8
galactic-10
dimension- 0

so..42 new religions.

65 total.

 

[Sarah Starlight]

corporations
new:

digital- 6
cyber-9
nano-8
solar-12
Interstellar- 7
galactic-11
dimension- 0
so 53 new corporations.

 

[Sarah Starlight]

and then he has 306 new resources
48 are terrain resources.

 

[Vokarya]

I look forward to seeing the adjustments. Sometimes it's hard to follow the discussions - I've been trying to get my Python code for Via Appia and Golden Spike fixed, and it's finally done. I think up to here the only thing I don't agree with is the name Liquid Metal Engineering. I think Liquid Metals does just fine, but that might be me.

Can I continue to send PMs directly to MrAzure? I use those for what I see as direct mistakes in the XML (misspelled prerequisites and such).

yeah, go ahead, he probably check CivFanatics every 3-4 days. Well, he said to do your recommendations so ill leave it at Liquid metals.

@Sarah Starlight

1. Please take the advice and suggestions of ls612, Vokarya and I. We are most familiar with the tech tree.

2. The stuff in post #388 seems fine (with the fixes ls612 posted).

3. Hold off any future religious stuff. I already talked with him the Chat before he left that he should focus on the Digital Era first and then work his way through the eras. We need them filled in with building/units before we move on to things like cultures/religions.

4. What the heck are the resources?!?

5. What all did he tell you do (You can PM me if you do not want it public)?

 

[Sarah Starlight]

@Sarah Starlight


5. What all did he tell you do (You can PM me if you do not want it public)?

He told me that this is the Tech Tree he wants me to do, he called it Version 15.
Thats all he told me, everything else is from his notebook he has.

Just do the XML for this Tech Tree..
