Request: Some sort of space mod thing

[arseface]

Hey,
I am reading a book at the moment called Pandoras Star by Peter F. Hamilton thats set in the year 2380 AD. Its about the human race in a commonwealth connecting over 300 planets by wormhole (so you can take the train from planet x to planet y) and I was wondering theres got to be someone out there in civ world who can make a mod like this. Or maybe not...

Im thinking that the game would start off normal until someone achived the spacerace victory (I haven't got that far personally but I'm assuming its the same as in CivIII) and then the UN could have an option to begin space exploration and unify every country on earth into your control. You could have two technologies like spaceships and wormholes and with wormholes you can begin exploring space and planets by building a city improvement and with spaceships you could build a unit to explore. And when you found another planet suitable for supporting life it could be like another random map or something. You could meet aliens (other civilizations) and trade with, fight with, all the usual gear.

I know its a big ask, but there has to be somebody out there who can make a mod similar to this.

Cheers,

Arseface

Can no one assist me?

Doing more interesting things with the map like you're describing can't really be done very well right now. When the game SDK comes out it should become possible (though what you're describing will still be a lot of work). There are a number of people interested in doing various kinds of space mods, so I imagine you'll start to see some things show up a month or two after the SDK.

i don't think that the second layers (well, in this mod, if done, multiple layers) are possible. it is discussed widely on several threads, but nobody came up with a solution.

Okay. I just wondered if it was possible at this point. Just an idea though...
