list of questions re: TotA

from GalCiv2 Forums

1/ will it be possible to have greater than 12 players in games thereby allowing someone to play as a custom race and have all 12 pre-existing races in game???

 

2/ Will it be possible to set which mega events can occur in a game maybe through a check box system??

I.e. allowing the dreadlords event to be possible whilst diabling the plague or multiple planet revolt???

 

3/ Will we get the option to set starting positions for all the races so you could posiiton allies near each other & where you want minor races etc?

 

4/ Will miniturisation (sp?) & logistics be available to edit for starting custom races? Also an option to adjust how many points is available to spend on selecting a races starting abilites???

 

5/ Can terror stars be disbaled or set so they could only use there weapon as a "ship killer" ability on a timer??

I think this one is already a "no" but just a wish due to not liking the idea of available planets being reduced ( 2 important a resource)

 

Any help / info anyone  can provide on these areas appreciated : ) cheers

1, 2: No plans for any of that that I'm aware of.

3: Via custom made maps/scenarios.

4: No to the first, though you have always been able to mod available points in the .customracexml files directly.

5: Disabling is easy enough via mods, but the other would require code changes to the TS functionality, so no.

Unless I'm mistaken the maximum number of enemies is nine (except minors) and will stay this way.

Does anyone think it would be a positive thing if;

- Max number of players on a map adjusted to 13+ so you could play as a custom race whilst having all the remaing 12 races also feature on that map???

- Be able to set which mega events can occur in a game maybe through a check box system??

I.e. allowing the dreadlords event to be possible whilst diabling the plague or multiple planet revolt???

- Allow the option to set starting positions for all the races so you could posiiton allies near each other & where you want minor races etc?


I don't think these features would be difficult to add in?? And would boost the fun factor through giving the user more controll over how there games plan out...

thoughts / comments appreciated

-Yes, I think that, especially with the advent of Immense, it would be nice to have at least more than the current 9 max races on a map... perhaps not 13+, though.

-No. Certainly not.

-Already done.
