United Planets Council

August 2, 2002 10:36 AM from

When it comes to diplomatic councils, designers rarely put in enough options. I was wondering if it would be possible to design into the game, a way for users to add (game reasonable) additional proposals? Or at least for Stardock to occasionally release 'council updates.'

In addition, the AI should be able to recognize them and actively use any new proposals that may be created.

What do you think?

Definatly...that's actually one of the biggest design features of GalCiv, expandability of Anomalies, Events, and United Planets Issues. The file types .ANOMALY, .EVENT, and .UPISSUE will be editable for any players that want to make their own. They can then send them our way and we'll organize and release updates. We're using pcx format for many of the popup gfx as well, so anyone with a paint program can create their own art for their specific event.

Hopefully this will add to the depth and replayability of each new game.

Very cool
