This would be the favored gov of the UF, but would be available to everyone. I just thought we needed some government in the later ages that isn't only available to once civ (And I needed a gov to give to the UF for the scenarios)

when i was a yung un' we'd go down the the local playground (not at school) and have gravel fights in the maze. twas fun, throwing them at the stupid chav/sham/rapper people, so maybe some sort of ruffian civ (the 10yr old smoker, wannabe black-person [know in ireland as a wigger], white tracksuit wearer that no-one likes, not even their "friends") maybe? its realistic in an irish/english way anyways. have stuff like baby shams (little 8yr old wannabe's), and stuff. i dunno, its your call..

Well, I'm starting to realize a problem with this.... So far, out of all the people I've talked to in my High School, who have come from elementary and middle schools across the world, only the school I went to actually got as in deph into the groups as we did (Except for Senso).....

 

[Snakelover]

I remember that when I would go out to the park with the teenagers every week, there was a huge clique of girls, who were often getting rained with balls by the boys(And me) when we played dodgeball...
This is pretty much the only time I ever really saw a well-defined line between two "factions".

 

[Tomoyo]

I had been making a "Cafeteria" map for this mod, actually, to simulate my "playground" wars. This won't get into your mod, since my "gang" (yes we called it a gang) was pretty much your "Char".

This takes place in an afterschool program where kids would just sit around and do stuff, like play board games. We had a elaborate heirarchy and currency system (forkspoons). We held gambling sessions, gave Pokemond tests, etc. There were several well defined "factions" through the cafeteria. Most notably, there was a group of kids a grade below us that formed their own "club" because we wouldn't let them into ours. We had little skirmishes, espionage missions (steal), recruitment wars, stealing their tables, being obnoxious, etc. There were also other groups, like the co-ed sewing group, the girls, etc.

If I point out 30 minor glitches in the game, can you give the Char an honorary Tomoyoish unit?

Soudns fine to me, if someone can find a Tomoyoish unit.

Did they get in any diplomacy/factionalism, or was it just simply random organized factional violence towards each other?

Ah... So almost the same, just minor variations. Funny how Pokemon can briefly unite people who have no contact with each other what so fever.

Seems varied enough though. So was it like a bunch of Char groups, or was it different massivley?

So... How would you like it done? Like a unit made, but not placed (except in the scenarios with Char), or a physical unit that can be built, and be deployed in huge armies?

And to answer Omega's question, if you can find one that you like... Sure, by all means.

 

[Snakelover]

Diplomacy/Factionalism...Well, the boys often had "packs" within their side, which would always sart wars with each other when they had the chance, but the girls would divide into a few hordes and just do girl talk; This was where the most diplomacy(Other than war) seemed to occur.

Figting Each Other...Each boy pack had its special "target" girl horde when we played(My pack usually just targeted the most frightened hordes), while the girl horde would crowd together like sheep behind any lone boy who was tall.

I, personally was in a 3-man isolationist pack.

 

[Bluemofia]

Ok, how long did this last?

 

[The Omega]

Blue, I'm thinking about putting uber units back into the mod, but make it so that they all come with High School, so you don't end up having one civ having an uber unit that none of the other civs can defend agaisnt cause they don't get their uber unit for another age, and it gives some more incentive to research as far as High School.

 

[Bluemofia]

What about Masterian's Doom Fortress?

And that's all uber units, right? (list, because some have become not-so-uber already.)

So...
Grand Horde
LABTAO
Fireship
Uber Battleship
Jet Fighter (???)
Mobile Fortress (???)
Mage Castle
Elite Mercenary (???)
Elite Archer (???)
Teacher HMG (Already at the end of their tech tree.)

No, I mean adding new uber units. Keep the same already really strong ones, but at the end of the tech tree would be the truly uber ones (Attack and defense powers in the 50s) I just really want high schooler's to have some sort of super advantage, because if you had high schoolers and middle schoolers fight in an epic battle, the high schooler's would win, no matter how outnumbered.

And the teachers lose? Because that would put the teachers at a real disadvantage. (and what of the Barbarians?)

 

[The Omega]

Okay, I'm kinda out of ideas for more Senso units.... I was playing around with the thought that they could get something like, "Traitorous Freak Master", or something like that, but decided it would be too confusing, and just too weird for Senso to be able to build HN versions of other civs units.... (Maybe for the Cold War scenario, but not for an epic game)

So now I'm kinda stuck on what to give them.... I'm trying to give every civ at least a few more units for 2.0, but Senso's one of the civs that I just don't know what to do with them....

 

[The Omega]

Well, I also thought about that, and how in High School, the students become alot more independent of the Teachers, and they don't have the supreme power over us that they did in earlier grades. So it would kind off make sense.....
And you have to remember, the uber units would be super-duper expensive, so most people would probably only build one of two, and just have them support their main army.
