Space Empires - Ideas Thread

[MadWurst]

Hi @ll! Im the other guy working on this mod.

First of all some basic information.
Since the next expansion for Civ4 includes a spacemod, Vadus and i decided to stop all programing work at the moment.
Here some pics from the oficial starmod
spacecrafts
starmap
cityview

If we are lucy we can reduce the efford of work by using the mod dramaticaly. This of cause does NOT mean stoping the projekt. I will post plans and ideas for races and tecs and other thigs in the next few of days.

Is this project forgotten about?

Neither Vadus nor have mutch time at the moment. Im working on some basic xml parts but since im not so experienced in modding civ its going realy slow.

Hi Vadus, MadWurst,

I am very interested in your mod, and I want to make a mini scenario based on your mod

Would you like to release your mod so that I could borrow it.

and also I will give you the credit in the first place!


Thank you so much!





Best Regards,

Hi all,

currently I'm working on a "Unit-Sandbox" , a Dialog Window, with which you can predefine promotions and names of Units.
These units are stored and appear on the city production list and you can build them. ( I will post this thing into the mod components forum)
Well, this is one of the preliminaries I want to make for my really concern.
I want to make a SpaceMod for Civ4 and I have a quite big set of ideas, which dammed since my civ3's SpaceMod bogged down because of the few possibilities of changing civ's rules...
But since Civ4 came out with python and my experience with the Sandbox-Tool I'm very optimistic to transform my ideas to a real good mod
In this thread I write down my ideas in the first posts and you are free to make proposals or to say, what might be not good. I even haven't
thought of all features, so if you have a good idea I will take them into the following descrtiption of the SpaceMod. Also it will make me
really happy if somebody wants to help me to realize this great SpaceMod !

Where do I download the current version? If It's not uploaded please upload it.

Sorry if this is too late, but I saw the first page and was flooded by ideas that i just HAD to share...

I have some ideas for your mod that I would like to share (because I suck at making them myself...).

Roads: If you could make roads work on the sea, you could change roads to trade routes, with neon particles as "spaceship exhaust" instead of dirt roads. You could change the workers to Domain_Sea (I think) to do this. I don't have much else of an idea...

Improvements: You could change work boats into some kind of engineering spaceship and have them build space stations or satilites (ex. military space station (fort), media satelite (cottage), or farming space station (farm)). Normally, space could have no production, etc. (like desert), so it cannot be worked without an improvement.

Fallout: Fallout could be changed to space trash.

Religion: Religion could be changed to some kind of DNA mutations that would allow you to build specific buildings. For example, a mutation/mutation could be increased cranial DNA, which would allow you to build "super labs".

Civics: Each civ/race could have a un-researchable tech that it starts with (see the desert war mod that ships with civ 4), that allows all civics from one path to be used. This would be degrading governments to a civ3-level though...

Hope this comes in handy for making your MOD!

Try the Final Frontier mod in BtS, it has a lot of things going for it and a lot of stuff that can be improved upon.

Could you please upload the current version? I keep tryng to make make similar mod but it keeps crashing. Then, I look through the XML files trying to figure out what went wrong since the system won't notify me of what went wrong. I think I just failed my 4th attempt so could you please upload this mod? If you have a I'd like to know where it is. I searched filefront and the forums but I can't find it.

Hey Folks,

sorry, but there is no playable version of this mod. as the thread title says, its just the Ideas Thread Well, currently I and MadWurst have not the time to work on such a comprehensive mod. Maybe I get some free days in summer, so I can rework the concept. The ideas for this mod arose in a time before bts ( and the final frontier mod ). I think, now I would use the Final Frontier "engine" to create a space mod, like the StarTrek and Moo Mod people do. But this includes a major change of the concept..

But keep posting your ideas ! This is the right thread for space mod ideas !

If you are to use FF, I sugjest that you scrap the planetary sistems. In FF, one city (vanila) represents one planetary system. Why not have it be 1 planet instead?

Could you upload the units?

He doesn't have BtS, if you're talking about BtSformac.
