+2 Happiness
-50 Gold

-We should send fake government gamblers and rig the races, well make tons of credits!
-2 Happiness

- Im busy go away

 

[Kissamies]

Nice, but one minor point. It's common in SW universe to find cool sounding replacements for everyday items. A clock is chrono, for example. They don't drive cars, they drive speeders. They probably have holographic projectors instead of TVs, or if they have TVs, they call them "flatscreens or something. "Holovised" instead of "televised" maybe, or does that sound too lame?

Not legal in most parts of the galaxy

this is mainly attributed to lazy authors, but some of it might be OK
Just no Caf dumbest idea ever

 

[Kissamies]

Lazy authors, eh? Ol' GL is worst of them all. At Lars farm they don't drink milk, but blue milk!

But blue milk actually exists, or something like it

Hmm maybe... I guess the point I was clumsily trying to make that the "familiar, yet strange" style has been in Star Wars since the beginning and personally I like how the authors built on it. After all Star Wars is less science and more fiction and the point is to have Flash Gordon style adventures on Jabbas Sail barge, rather than pondering how the existence of droids would affect society or whatever.

 

[Dumanios]

Exactly.

 

[Politus]

A blatant ripoff of the "find holy peak" quest, but... keep in mind that it can happen for either Jedi OR Sith.

Jedi/Sith scholars are certain that the home planet of their kind is out there. Finding it and colonizing it before anyone else does will allow the Scholars to do much research into their origins. This quest is open to all factions.

If ??? Jedi/Sith temples are built, the Scholars should be able to triangulate where the planet is.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Allow the Jedi/Sith to spread the gained knowledge across your empire; +1000 Research Points
-Glorify the accomplishment in the name of your empire; Starts a Golden Age
-Plunder the artifacts acquired; +1 unhappiness on all planets with a Jedi/Sith temple, +???? Credits.
-Emphasize the cultural significance of this event;+1 Happiness on all planets in your empire, +4 culture/turn on all planets.

Just putting this out there- but any random events that need python I'll be happy to write the code for.

After you guys start plugging the events into the XML and see what can or can't be done by XML, tell me and I'll write the python. (Like for the "Origin Planet", quests need python).

Star Wars is Space Opera not Sci-Fic its the fiction that keeps us apart from the TREK

The Jedi and sith know where they come from
sith = Ziost
jedi = ossus

 

[TC01]

The Jedi and sith know where they come from
sith = Ziost
jedi = ossus

He means the species, not the religion/organization. The Jedi/Sith are the scholars who have found the origin of whatever your species is.

 

[civ editor11]

Oh my bad

 

[Musketeer935]

The Jedi and sith know where they come from
sith = Ziost
jedi = ossus

Thats interesting that the Jedi religion origonated on a place named Ossus, that probably has something to do with the fact that in latin (maybe its greek i forget lol) Oss roughly translated means bone

 

[civ editor11]

Star Wars takes many ideas from things like that

 

[Politus]

Actually, Tython was the home of the Jedi. But considering the necessity for exploration and colonization, Ossus/Tython and Ziost could need re-finding, ergo the "find the origin" spot. It's force religion origin, NOT species origin.

Just because the name is known doesn't mean that the location is known. For example, Ossus was abandoned for ~4000 years after the Cron Cluster was destroyed. Duh.

 

[civ editor11]

But they refind it after the Yuuzhan Vong War. They remake the temple and start using it again during the legacy era.

 

[Politus]

Exactly, which would make this a perfect mission, because the tech advances, time advances. This doesn't start after the Yuuzhan Vong war otherwise there wouldn't be very much canon tech to advance to. Think up better excuses, pl0x.
