IDEALIKENESS!!!!!!!
I was thinking at night, (and peopel tend to get their best ideas at night), and I had a sudden eureka moment about this mod.
1st. About the civiclopedia. We're not just gonna add stuff to it. We're gonna do a complete overhaul of the civiclopedia. Basically, every entery, from terrain improvements to game concepts, is gonna be redone by me. Also, we're gonna add a bunch of entries, some that won't have any actual use towards the game, but will be soem nice reading for the people who actually like to dig through the civiclopedia. Due to the fact that I actually don't know how to do this, we're gonna have to have someone send me the word-stuff that the civiclopedia goes in, with all the new entries already added, and then I do the actual typing part.
2nd. Space Race Victory. We're gonna change this to "Graduation." The parts will be: "Lower Grades" (Availabe in one of teh early techs, "2nd Grade TAAS Test" (Available somewhere in 2nd grade), "3rd Grade TAAS Test" (Available somewhere in 3rd graade), "4rth Grade TAAS Test" (Available somewhere in 4rth grade), "5th Grade TAKS Test" (Available somewhere in 5th grade), "Graduation to Middle School" (Available with the 6th grade tech), "6th Grade TAKS Test" (Available somewhere in 6th grade), "Excess Homework" (Available with Interesting Classes), and "Major School Projects" (Available somewhere.) Also, if any of us can figure out how to change teh space race victory movie, we could make it some sort of graduation-ish video.
3rd. The armoured tactics tech in the last age. I had a great idea for this. This would allow each civ to get a unique armoured unit, which would have a high offense, but low defense (So to encourage a combined arms approach, like archers and longbows in the normal game). Plus, FA would be able to construct a "Blitzkrieg Armoured Unit", which would be a multi-figure unit of their normal armoured unit, and would be alot more expensive, but have a higher attack power and movement rating, to kind of encourage a blitzkrieg approach (Smash through with the blitz units and then move in your normal units to take advantage of teh breakthrough). I've already got a few ideas for what the armoured units should be, but I'm still not sure if this should actually be implemented.
4rth. I forgot one of teh most important things about PLayground history. FA needs a hidden nationality unit called "Death Strike Trooper", which would have average stats, but be very expensive, so that the AI woudlnt' build hundreds of them. The main reason I forgot this was because FA denies all existence of Death Strike, and they're effect on Playground history.....

Easy to impliment. I just make it so that you can start the 2nd Grade TAAS (let the eventual graduation small wonder be built from the beginning (children tech) so that it allows "space ship" parts to be built from the start. It should be very cheap so people won't hesitate to build it for some early culture as well as to start the space race) be built after you research the 2nd grade tech, and make it a bit expensive for it's age, to simulate how hard the test is, and so on and so forth.
Major School Prodjects will probably come in 6th grade, because I don't ever remember major school prodjects in elementary.

Hmm, we've got the Da Vinci Tank, and we can get a bunch of tanks, futuristic, normal ones today, and those armored fighting box type ones, etc. they all work.

This is relitively easy to do. I just make the FA ninja person (I'm at school, I can't check) be not hidden nationality, and add a death strike trooper person be one of those transparent units that people have made, or the black ops trooper in EFZI2.

Well, the Playground Wars only went to 6th grade, so it would be kind of odd for you to be doing the TAKS for other years, but yeah, that might work. And if we're gonna do that, maybe Excessive Homework should be a small wonder that does something else?Bluemofia said:

Probably SM, and it being in the later 5th grade. It will probably be some kind of science wonder, but at the expense of happiness.
My reasoning is that since there is not enough stuff to do the graduation thingy for Elementary, and it probably would have continued if the teachers didn't put in stricter rules.

I just thought of a random idea -"unsung heroes" for the kids who got in trouble for doing great and noble things, but the teachers didn't understand. It could be a SW or a tech or something.

ok this is an ignorant question, but is this mod based on ACTUAL events?...I thought it was sort of a "what if" mod...is this a dramatization of a real school situation?...you talk about it like there was really an armed insurrection between factions at your school...in 2-6th grade?...please clarify this if you feel the need

Well, not actual events, but actual events twisted with their imagination. Ask Omega for details, I don't know that much about the details of it.
Anyways, nice splash, but I still have to test it in game.

Good idea on the wonder, and yeah, I agree with you on the Space Race. We'll go to your version.Bluemofia said:

It's exaggerated version of actual events. We had wars and politics and territory and stuff, but it wasn't on an actual "Armed insurrection" scale. The most injury sustained by a person was when I hit one kid with a stick. The actual fighting was really just tackling people and keeping them on the ground so they wouldn't be able to tackle any of your people. But in our minds, we thought of it as major battles and whatnot.Spacer One said:
