Kzinti Empire - offical empire thread

from GalCiv2 Forums

You have dared to enter the lair of the most ferocious predators in the galaxy!

It is the ulitmate destiny of the Kzinti to conquer the other civilizations of the galaxy, subjugate and enslave any who may prove useful to us, and devour the rest. The Fanged God has ordained that this is how it will be.

In just 26 octals of days (7 months or so...Kzinti count in base 8), the Kzinti Empire rose from obscurity, to #1 on the Metaverse. With the blessings of the Fanged God, we have remained dominant for 100s more octals of days since that auspicious day.  We leapt past the other empires, and our mighty domain now encompasses over 32 million more light years than the second most powerful empire.  The most recent Galactic Map data shows that we have subjugated over 45% of the galaxy.  Many warriors from the old and dying empires have joined us, to avoid being eaten along with the rest.  We hunger to establish indefinite supremacy over all the inferior sentient species...

We have also been #1 on the AltMeta for over 3 years running. The Empire grows more powerful with each passing day as new conquests are won, and more warriors join us in our inevitable rise to rule the galaxy!

The Kzinti are a species of bipedal space-faring feline predators, who love nothing more than conquest and battle. Created by sci-fi writer Larry Niven, the Kzinti have had many stories written about them, most notably in the Man-Kzin Wars series of books. They have also shown up in the Star Trek universe, and a number of other realities.

"Kzinti flesh has a very strong and pungent taste. The weak among us are devoured by their litter-mates within a few moons of birthing. Only the swiftest and most ferocious of us survive to their first naming-day. Those not fit to survive will never live to perpetuate their inferior bloodlines. This is the natural law of the galaxy." - Kzinti Warrior

kzin6

"The meaning of life is the hot blood of your prey on your tongue, the meat that rends beneath your teeth, the corpse of your enemy left in the sun for the carrion eaters to finish, your defeated foe groveling in submission before you. That is what life is. We are the Kzinti, and we stronger, swifter, wiser, and more ferocious than any other race ever was or will be." - Kzinti philosopher

Photobucket

If your claws can grasp it, then it is rightfully yours. - Kzinti proverb

A salute to all those heroic t'kzintar who have made this empire a resounding success. Our conquests continue and the galaxy will never know peace!

the thing is though, if you drop back down to 4th place, the "Former 1st Place" will return.  The Top Three medals always have precedence over the Former Medals,

 

I really hope there's a MP format for GCIII, I would absolutely LOVE to go up against you KP; I don't hate their not being MP format now; and to a point I'm glad its not in it, but it would be pretty cool to play against a number of people on here.  It be interesting though, some really strong players I think would have a very difficult time against a Human because they wouldn't fit nicely into the mold that they have created for themselves in their playstyle.

Reply #2027 from GalCiv2 Forums Top

Yeah, it would really cool to play against a human.  I dont think any of the "optimal" strategies would work at all well against a human player.  No Swindle, no ZYW for sure.  I used to play multiplayer BOTF with a couple of my friends, which is a somewhat similar game.  I remember one battle I slaughtered my friend's entire Romulan main fleet with my swarm of Klingon Scout IIs, because I caught him uncloaked (bombarding a planet) and my scouts were able to get a full round of shots off before they could respond, because they had cloaks too.

Yep I do know that about the medals.  I either have to go to #1 again, or drop back down to 4th to see the medal I prefer.  XD

I played that once (or at least some similar game), manning the drums. I'm pretty awful at it! I cant do the foot pedal and the drumsticks at the same time well at all. And I'm not blowing up or conquering anything, so it doesnt hold my attention nearly as well.

Aye, drums are rough.  There is a reason they have an entire section of the game to practice them.  Also, if you can play rock band drums, you can play real drums as everything matches RL.  The rock band guiar vs real guitar is different in a few aspects.

Speaking of medals...as you can see i made the 500...and still no next achievement medal. I'm thinking they are broke, there had to be one at the very least at the 500 mark.

That stinks.  I'm sure if they were working you would have found it at 250 or 500.  Definitely broken!

not to harp on this guys, but I say this every time this matter comes up, we DO NOT KNOW what the lats 4 achievement medals represent, we have never known, we have never been told, we have ASSUMED based on precedence.  Is it a good assumption?-yes; but that does not make it so.  We can not definitively say one way or another if those medals are broken or not.

Reply #2032 from GalCiv2 Forums Top

Not to give the same old answer but we know that SB. We are just assuming we are right. Perhaps Kryo could track down what is happining with them.

I know assumption is the mother of all frak ups, but id say our assumptions are right.

BTW, damn that Rock Band game!!!  I don't even own an Xbox 360 to play that game and it's already costed me $30 for a mic and ~$25 in iTunes downloads lol.  My wife picked up Paramore's one albumn and now the latest Lacuna Coil albumn (RAWR on that lead singer btw).  End of this month I'll be dropping a good $60-70 on a GH4 guitar so I can stop bumming off of friends.

I managed to beat Guitar Hero III on easy level, but that's not saying much. Over x-mas break I had lots of time on my hands and spent it drinking beer and playing GH3 with my brother-in-law, wife & kids.  Through that game, I discovered several new bands that I have now gotten the CDs of.

Dont forget the Gerontocracy!  They are still active, and it would be a funny mod to make. :)

I'll have some minor race ideas for you later.

Mumblefratz is not a member of the diplo's Seth. He is n the Tyranny. Davabled is still a diplo's member i beleive.

This mod you are doing seth, i have noticed a few chats about it in various threads.

Is this a mod you are doing all on your own or are you looking for collaberators?

Indeed he was.

 

As for the Mod, aince you are after help, i'd like to offer a suggestion. I have noticed many times that people have offered ideas or suggestions and you have shot them down with little to no explanation, just a flat out refusal.

Now thats all fine and dandy if this is just your own effort, you will do it your way as you see fit, but if you want and need help on the mod you want to allow other peoples influences through.

Just a suggestion mate, not picking on you, but ya need to loosen the leash mate.

Seth, here are two Kzinti slave species that you might include in your mod as minor civs.  One is the Jotok:  https://forums.galciv2.com/169593  The other is the Kdatlyno: http://www.freewebs.com/knownspace/k.htm/#kda1

I have some other ones I'm thinking about too, but havent had time to flesh-out.

I think Neilo does have a point about needing to be more open-minded to other people's ideas.

Freeman, I'm of 1/2 Polish ancestry, but I dont speak any Polish myself.  My dad though, can speak it pretty fluently, and has been to Poland a few times, once to teach English.  The Polish side of my family has been in the USA for a little less than 100 years.

Ohhh, is that Polish? I actually thought you were just stringing letters together to be an ass!!! 8O

My response is rather fraking stupid now isnt it.......Didn't realize english was not your native tounge mate. Sorry 'bout that. I thought you were from Texas.....???

Anyway though, like i said, dictionary.com can still be of help, i use it alot mate, i am very lazy with spelling and grammer. It's always good to have your posts as legible as possible.

Just 'cuz he lives in Texas doesn't mean his first language is English...people come to this country to settle down all the time, it just so happens most of our families came here a few hundred years ago.  Then there are those of us that get the ability to say their families (or a portion of them) came here even earlier than that...

As for spelling...blah, I've given up on worrying about it ever since they revamped the forum software.  People will just have to figure out what I was thinking when I posted. XD

Just my thoughts:

 

Kzinti Empire: Super Breeder   Evil-Aligned

The Kzinti Empire is a proud, warrior race but they also have a high fertility rate not usually seen amongst warmongering species.  While this also is seen in high death rates in battle, they are quick to replace their numbers.   The Kzinti have strong military production and soldiering bonuses.  They also maintain a strong morale due to a cultural "high" achieved from victory in battle.

A.P.

Military Production, Weapons, Soldiering, Courage, Morale

 

Tyranny of Evil; Super Annihilator  Evil-Aligned

The Tyranny of Evil is a group of demonic beings that wish nothing more than to sow discord and chaos throughout the galaxy as they seek control.  The Tyranny has a strong influence, and powerful weapons.  They have a very weak diplomatic ability however as they see all species as being massively inferior to them.

A.P.

Military Production, Espionage, Hit Points, Weapons, Defense

 

Olympian Gods: Super Manipulator   Neutral-Aligned

The Olympian Gods are powerful and usually benevolent group of beings, but they can be quite mischevious and dubious when they want to achieve certain goals.  Their ability to "make things happen instaneously" gives them bonuses in creativity, luck, and repair, but they are lacking in population growth.  They do have a high diplomatic ability.

A.P.

Diplomacy, Creativity, Luck, Repair, Hit Points, Planet Quality

 

Geckodons: Super Warrior?

I don't really know anything about the Geckos, so alas, I can't write anything here. Sorry Seth :-(

Galactic Diplomats: Super Diplomat   Neutral-Aligned

The Galactic Diplomats are the calm researchers of the galaxy, and well-respected negotiators.  While lacking in overall military strength, they make it up for it in their combined diplomatic and research power.

A.P.

Diplomacy, Research, Morale

 

Gerontocracy: Super Adapter   Good-Aligned

The Gerontocracy is an empire that literally means "Rule by the Old".  They are a wise, and cautious race, but very knowledgeable and full of wisdom gleaned over the years.   They are remarkably well-balanced in their ability but do not have any edge in any one ability either.  They do have the largest starting technology advantage due to years of experience.

A.P.

Balanced- Econ, Social Prod, Mil Prod, and Research

 

High Command Hegemony: Super Isolationist   Good-Aligned

Once the most powerful empire the galaxy had ever known, the Hegemony retreated back into its own corner of space when its mighty Emperor went missing.  Still, the Hegemons can muster a very powerful economy and social production ability when called to arms. 

A.P.

Economics, Social Production

 

Confederation: Super Organizer   Neutral-Aligned

The Confederation of Planets seeks peace with other races, and to explore the unknown mysteries of the universe.  Their ability to promote this ideology of peace is their strongest ability- an ever-increasing influence of those around them.  They also have strong trade and research abilities.

A.P.

Influence, Research, Trade, Economics
