OMG You guys fantastic Ideas!!!!!!! Great GIFs BTW Sicipio Great Job you guys!!!
Star Wars Mod
- Thread starter tpasmall
- Start date
Glad to be of assistance
Yeah from the looks of it this is gonna take a while. All new units, all new terrain, all new civilizations, all new stats, all new civilopedia, all new head models...wow! I dont really know that much bout star wars stuff so i'll leave most of that to yall. Im not sure either how to edit anything in the game (code stuff) so i guess ill have to learn that as i go along or leave that to yall too.
Graphics for ingame shouldnt be too hard, really sweet city graphics will be cool. I can work on some graphics too in Photoshop or ImageReady if needed. Not sure if railways exist in that time, might need some other type of rail or track system.
As for resources what do they use to power ships, make ships? What did Luke's parents grow in that farm?
I think to get a tech tree down we should get a list of all the units we need in the game and structures and then decide what would be needed to create each of those in hte game and the order in which tehy progress. The problem we are facing is that many of the units in the game all appear at the same time so there is no time frame such as old gungan and new gungan units. Its gonna be hard to separate those.
Perhaps might be better to lump some civilizations together. Can put those fish guys with the alliance, etc.
Few Questions:
1) How are the civs going to advance? Especially since all civs werent around during same times in all movies.
2) How can we balance the civilizations? THe empire always holds a huge edge in technology over most civs as the rebel alliance was always weaker in tech. Small civs dont have nuff information really on them to get enough city names, units or to balance properly.
3) Another topic....wonders. What types of wonders can there be? Death Star?

Only way I know of is to upload to server and use the vB code to point to that URL of the graphic.
Another thing was thinking, perhaps since there is lots of graphic ppl now should straighten out who is doing what so two of us don't end up making the same thing twice

I believe Luke's Aunt and Uncle grew some kind of desert plants, including special fruits and vegetables.
Well we advance very little so it's going to have to be extremely slow
Wonders You'll have to figure out yourself

Good questions, let me start by answering them backwards 
wonders- we have already compiled a good list of wonders from the star wars universe, and have more to come
balance- the civs will all have many civ-specific units, though civs without a certain amount of good civ-specific units, will share some with other civs, e.g. bwing mon calamari(they invented it), and the rebel alliance(they piloted them). The empire will be limited from becoming more powerful than all the other civs by not using all the units that they had in the movies. Also by making that technology available to other civs, e.g. skipray blastboat will be available to all civs. Also the Death Star wonder is available to all civs, the unit that replaces the nuke will be the death star laser (cant remeber exact name, will have it though).
As for city names, with a little searching, i will be able to find pleanty of names for all civs. Even if i cant i will either use a location from the star wars universe that relates to it, or come up with my own, new, city names which will add to the gaming experiance, at least i hope.
advancing- all civs start at the same point because this is a mod, so it wont be able to exactly follow the movies though they will have alot of things from the movies.
TedG- have you turned the gifs into animated gifs using animation shop? If not you have to do that first. Then attach the file from your computer using the attach file button, and it will come up

Now It's true that if you count the entire line that we've advanced extremely fast, but then towards more recent times we've slowed now we're growing fast because of the Vong threat.
Now I want someone to add in the Vong as Militaristic, Expansionst because they've swallowed entire Outer Rim systems and planets. They use biological weapons and have black holes that suck in most laser shots. Some proton torpedos do work but only if you're lucky. I've got some ideas on special weapons designed to take out their armor but it's never been fully tested.
So keep coming with the ideas

Actually they didnt grow anything. It was a moisture farm. They used the moisture vaporators to pull in water and moisture from the surrounding atmosphere and filled large reservoirs. They would later sell the water to other farmers.

Adding the Yuuzhan Vong would not really be a way to keep the game balanced, they are far to powerful. Besides that it be near impossible to make an animated leaderhead of them

Ok all right you got me there but think about it it is extremely recent in fact by about 30 years and it's a good idea to have them.
They're popular and they're controversial good publicity ::giggles::
Sorry just had to add that in Anyways Still I think they would make a good race just make them barbarian and have like one unit and one settler but make that one unit really powerfull
Just ideas
