Anyone who has suggestions please post them.

 

[Civmansam]

I want two more Civs to be added, as there are only 16 at the moment. I'm not sure what to add, do any of you have some good ideas or specific requests? Also I need some unique units for the ones we have know, I'd like most civs to have quite a few.

 

[woodelf]

I haven't broken out my Zahn books in a long time, but who were those assassin creatures that Thrawn had enslaved? They'd be a nice civ.

edit - And I could be messing up books, stories, ect.

 

[Civmansam]

Maybe, think I should a poll out to see what other people want?

 

[woodelf]

Polls are good.

How about the Quarrens have all of their units starting with 2 XP? the Quarrens are always shown as the leaders or stronger than all the other's - just not physically So maybe that or they add strength to all the other units on that tile? not much; only like 5%

 

[Civmansam]

I'm not sure how the Quarrens are stronger, they aren't actually that strong. Maybe they should get a no penalty over river bonus

 

[Qdin]

I'm not really sure. If I'm not mistaken they've got another kind and greater mind than most of the other species. Maybe empathy would work?

Some suggestions:

1.Add the Ssi-ruuk imperium, as they control vast swathes of space and large armies in the Unknown Regions.
2.Add the Duros, as they controlled large areas before the birth of the Republic.
3.Merge the Galactic Senate, Galactic Empire and Imperial Remnant, as they were effectively the same thing. The first was renamed as the second, and then the third, but was still the same really.
4.Rename the Chiss Empire as the Chiss Ascendancy, as that was its true name.
5.Merge the Rebel Alliance and the New Republic, as the first was renamed as the second.
6.Replace the Quarrens with the Mon Calamari, as the Quarren never really acted in Galactic matters, whereas the Mon Calamari did. And if we add the Quarren, what stops us from adding every single race in the galaxy?

I also suggest adding in the rest of the relatively significant races of the galaxy as minor races.

how about the trade federation they had lots of power to.

I've got some suggestions, but it's some which will mean a totally different gaming style

When you take a leader in Civ4 you also select how you want to play the game. That's why I think we should do a similar thing here, and instead take liek different organizations and/or companies or groups, who's got their own unique merrits and flaws. Instead of saying 'you can play as the CIS fighting against The Empire' I'd say all of those different.. well - factions should be made in other ways.

An idea would be to make the Civics remade so they fit under these factions: Empire would be researched and would have these merrits and these flaws, and another Civic would be Old Republic. This way it's possible to costumize your game so you actually don't get a complete scripts about what you'll get and what the game will somewhat be like...

Another thing would be National Wonders, because there can ONLY be made ONE of them it would kinda be like first gets it - and it is PERMANENT So one of the best things being researched would of course be available in the end or after plenty of researching - but it would also mean that maybe everyone has been rushing with their 'national wonder' so they can't get this one? it'll also be an autobalanced thing, because all which would be needed would be to limit 1 National Wonder per.. well - 'faction'. Instead we shouldn't call it National Wonders, we should rather call it something like... who cares anyways? XD Star Wars Wonders would be the temporarily name - haha.

All in all I'd rather start with an idea of what I want this game to be played like, and costumize it after that than rather getting a premade character in a world which looks more like an all-together instead of the Star Wars Universe...

[s.c.dude]

suggestions:

since madalorians units cost 75 percent more they should receive more experience maybe 5+.

i think that each civ should have its religious unit as its uu just less powerful like. about the others :\

 

[Tboy]

Nah, s.c. dude, what the power means is that each unit costs 75% of what it would normally. Or, to put it another way, 25% less.

Though more experience would better reflect the Mandalorians, as they were known as a skilled warrior race, not necessarily numerous. +2, +5 or a free combat1 + 2 promotions would be better, I reckon.

 

[Qdin]

Yeah - +20 against melee or jsut 10 - heh.

 

[s.c.dude]

thanks for clarifying and ive got an idea for the uu for each civ. just make a model of each species with a rifle in their hands

 

[Qdin]

quite not sure if I got that... :/ rephrase?

 

[WGW]

i didnt get an answer so i repost
so what about the trade federation? they were very powerfull to.

 

[s.c.dude]

quite not sure if I got that... :/ rephrase?

make a model of each species like human or quarren or mandalorian and put the rifle from infantry in their hands
