Evil Empire Council

I booted up the galciv writer to try and see what would be a good balance, and I cam up with this:

Morale -10
Diplomacy -10
Ship Weapons +40
Soldiering +20
Military Production +20

Lose Control:
Morale +20
Loyalty -75
Creativity +10

As you may have noticed from my mods, I am really into things that give both bonuses and subtractions. It forces you to make a real choice, and nothing like this was included in original Galciv.

It is a difficult problem.
I think you need a list of the existing civs, so that the evil one is different to them and not too difficult or easy.
The War Party might be similar to the one above, not sure from memory.

Stardock have a lot of experience in this.
Maybe they are reading this thread and would like to comment?

hope this helps with your decisions. pick the traits you like the sound of for + and -. or if you would rather stick one of the above let me know and i'll just rename and stick the logo on it.

The War Party as I recall just gives +50 hit points. I still don't like the idea of a government pick subtracting stuff from you. I mean, the whole point of being evil in the first place was to get bonuses right? Otherwise everyone would be pure good and let all the worms live and leave indigenous life forms alone.

Cool banana's (except in Qld)

I was just about to start thinking about the wording
for it too.

email sent.

a minus pick for being in control? surely you would get a bonus for being in control. unless of course you were the evil dictator LOL LOL LOL

How about every bonus available +1000? Of course, that'd only be meaningful if the AI couldn't pick it as well.

if you want a negative. how about a decrease in population growth.

to improve the genetic line all births must be approved by the government and hence everything need paper work and slows every thing down.

Would add a different aspect to the game. not a bad idea though. wouldnt inhibit gameplay too much either.

at the dark lords request, i am off to kill some Altarians.(play the game) if you wish to leave a message do so here. or email me [email protected]
please leave ideas for council mod. doesnt matter if you dont intend to use it. but need some more ideas. :notsure:
once the dreaded Altarians are vanquished i will return. all other empires in my way MOVE ASIDE, i will stop for nobody!

Evil Empire For Ever

It FEELS so GOOD! to be so BAD!

It's good to feel bad.

you are not yet evil enough to join the Evil empire. but you are well on your way there. follow the evil feelings in your heart. embrace hate release your anger. kill your slaves

Picking our party is too difficult for me.
I will leave it up to you.
Don't make it too hard to win with, otherwise I will not use it and I want to.

Lord Megatron,

you have no idea how evil I can be.

And if I were YOU I would NOT!
Want to find OUT!

I have just tried this party picks out for a game and was able to win without any extra help or trouble/ doeas hurt a bit when you lose power though (more fun that way)

+traits
pq +5
government +10
ship speed +1parcec
loyalty +10

-traits
population growth -50
diplomacy -50
economics -10

anyone like the sound of these choices?

if you lose control of the government it will make things a bit tight for a while, but it will not stop you from expanding or going to war.

Lord Megatron,

That's my POKER FACE.

poker faces are no good when faced with one of the damned. we can see right into your soul. there is no hiding from us.

My slained enemies ( would ) have argued that statment.

'Tis good to be the King

You played two hours to die like this?

I grow tired of asking.

ask away my lord.

That could hurt, though I guess it doesn't matter if you are just killing everyone anyway.

Hope you don't mind my slipping in - I'll leave if you wish.
