***WARNING LONG ASS EXPLANATION OF MY IDEA*** ...enjoy
ok i got an idea a few weeks ago to make or atleast come up with some ideas for a space based Civ3 mod. after thinking about it for a bit, i came up with the idea of making it a war between earth (some what unified) against the colony of Mars which wants to become independent or atleast have some rights like earth nations. the map would be of of just earth, luna/the moon, and mars and the space inbetween. this way it leaves enough rooms for the 2 planets to be large enough for land or planet side battles to occur. the time period would be like 23 century and earth gone through a nuclear world war in the 21 century and have only rebuilt in the last 100 years, there are 3 main and a few minor nations on earth, one being the North American Alliance, the League of Europe, and the Eastern Empire (being china russia and a few other countries around china) the minor nations would be in the middle east, south america, mid africa, south africa, and australia. after these nation starting building up their power, they looked upward to mars for the next step in human colonization as the earth for the most part was f***ked up by the nuclear war. soon the NAA and EE already having space technology made their way to mars and colonized it and the two split mars up between them so that no wars would start for control of mars. the LoE couldnt make it to mars fast enough to have colonies their but they eventually did but could only make it to the moon so they have a military base their. but after 30 years of this, mars was well established it had everything earth had but less. and now after getting ride of the oppressive earth born leaders of mars, the NAA and EE mars colonies have unified to fight for their independence. the NAA and EE are fighting mars by them selves, no alliance between the two, and the LoE stays neutral but they may join the mars rebellion to eliminate the NAA and EE cause the LoE has more land based military than the NAA and EE combined and they have the moon base to help with space battles even though they have less techs in space battles.
sorry if that confusing,
anyways the first age would have mainlyl and battles and inner space battles (battles being fought in the atmosphere of the two planets), because of lack of tech for space battles, the second age will see more space battles but still more in innerspace and less land battles, third age will have a huge jump in space battles with new techs and less inner space battles and same amount of land battles, fourth age will be... i dont know yet im still thinkin about that one.
unit types (probably more or less units later on)
space units
cutter
frigate
destroyer
missile destroyer
dreadnaught
carriers
command carriers
space fighter
space bomber
inner space units
inner space/ atmospheric fighter
inner space/ atmospheric bomber
cutter (same unit as above)
frigate (same unit as above)
patrol ships
space stations
battle stations
defense satellites
recon satellites
land based units
light infantry
heavy infantry
shock infantry
spec ops
recon vehicle
light tank
heavy tank
stationary artillery
mobile artillery
light mech
heavy mech
atmospheric fighter (for smaller nations)
atmospheric bomber (for smaller nations)
defense bases
space defense batteries
unfortunately i dont know if ill have the time to or experience do most of the work, i cant make units, i cant even begin to understand the txt file of the civilopedia and such, i can use the editor quite well and i understand how everything works in civs in terms of the files and such. so i can help up with concept art for the units and making the 3d models for the units, the editor stuff, maybe making the map, but thats it i need ALOT of help from a few people who can do civilopedia stuff and mainly expert unit makers to help out with this, i hope some of u gods of civ3 unit making would help like Wyrmshadow, ripptide, bebro, kinboat, and kindred would make some of the units cause i just LOVE ur work, truely art (i know it probably wont happen but, a guy can dream cant he?)
i need to make a more coomplete list of units but for the most part only the EE, NAA and the LoE somewhat would have unique units,
the minor nations would have generic units that already exist in the units forum, the LoE would have a few unique units but would mainly have variants of NAA and EE units.
so ya thats my long ass description of my mod. like i said before im gonna need alot of help on this so anyones who interested in helping with ANYTHING just talk to me in this thread or email me at bobby_digital18@hotmail.com, and i read that Bane Star, u r thinking of doing a space mod so if ya want we could do this together.
also i need to get a 3d model maker cause i can make models, not the animations, and it has to be FREE cause anything out theres that worth buying is like over $200 CDN which i can not afford. so if anyone can give me a link to one that would be great
so ya thats it... discuss
