Colonizing Space

[Chunky Kong]

How about a tech that allows you to go the moon and the other planets (and THEIR moons)? You could have a button on the bar where the DEPHS is that allows you to see space? (Like it would show a map of the solar system to colonize). It would be kinda hard to colonize Jupiter and them, but you could colonize the moons and try to colonize the rings (Tundra equivalent?). Who else thinks this would be cool?

go play space empires or something of that effect that is not Civ

I dont think civ shoudl get too deeply into space, however, they should include a scenerio with the game of what happens when your (and everyone elses's) space ship gets to the planet.. I'd not mind that.

Civ is a game about the history of mankind. As far as I know we haven't colonized the solar system yet and I don't see it happening anytime soon. You're idea would consume too much time and effort to implement for it to be worth it in my opinion. If you want a Civ game portraying a potential future in space, there is a good game out there called Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, generally referred to as SMAC.

I beg to differ. We already have a precedent with Civ II: ToT, where they had essentially four maps representing different planets in the "Sci-Fi" scenario. When I started modding Civ III, I was disappointed when i found that the designers had neglected to include similar features.

Besides, SMAC has a lot of the same features that made Civ II really annoying.

That's just way too much...we should keep the game original...

 

[Stid]

no no no no! this sounds too much like call to power n i really hated that.im extremly against future techs as i like to keep it simple where stradegies are involved not just simply shooting people from space.nukes are good enough without going to far.

I think people should stop trying to do these future era things.....every time someone mentions it, this is what happens:

 

[Colonel]

i think eveyone should be happy with the fact that civ already goes to the not to far future and thats all i mean if you want a game that is off world space stuff go get a game like it

 

[Verowin]

No, no ,no. There is so much more to find in history. If you want to colonise the univers, don't play civ!

 

[Chunky Kong]

Alright alright, sheesh. Next time I ask a question I'm ducking into a bomb shelter.

 

[sir_schwick]

We would got get a good civ-like 'space game' but Firaxis has neglected to make a SMAC 2.

Besides, SMAC has a lot of the same features that made Civ II really annoying.

But it also had a lot of good features that were left out of Civ III(i'm not talkinga bout the Unit Workshop).

 

[Pariah]

I agree with Hikaro Takayama: a game stretching into the sci-fi future should be available, but only if you choose it. Otherwise, the game will end with the standard victory conditions from Civ 3.

 

[Me-262]

yes to Chunky Kong

 

[earthguido]

At first I imagined what if after launching the spaceship you would be able to enter SMAC and colonize other world, playing both games at the same time, but I really think that is way out of the idea of CIV, and it would cause the first country to get into space to achieve too much advantage over the others, and the game would become boring and slow.

Multimaps would be cool for scenarios, but have nothing to do in the epic game.
