Regarding the Great Library "Dome of Rememberence" ... Good that it is In
A small wonder idea
So that leaves the idea and concept of ... every civilization should be able to build a small wonder which is their own version
... of the concept of gathering all written and recorded (data storage) material together and then through a process of sifting and cross referencing all this mass of pre war data ... gain a benefit.
Each Civ would have a unique title for this project, but the graphic would probably be the same (maybe the wierd ones would be different - Bots)
> The Great Audit
> Project Archive
> Data Sort
> Initiate Catalogue Programme
> Knowledge Gathering
> Think Tank Initiative
... anyway you get the idea.
> The Great Discussion ... new creature civ ... or maybe ... The Sharing of Stories, which would be a gathering and stories shared with everyone about what has been seen or heard.
Pre-requisite ... would be that at least 5 Libraries (Data Dump for Bots) have been built.
Effect ... Maybe make it an increase of the entire civilizations accumulated beakers or only that city ???
Naming Stuff
I'm wondering if it is a good idea for civs to have a difference label (and later a possibly unique graphic) for a building that does the same thing.
Reason, especially the Bots (why would they build a scavenger market, hey would build something with the same result but called something different)
Question ... Is there a speadsheet or a list of all buildings that can be constructed somewhere???
... if in a text file in game files please direct me to the source.
> I am very interested in this, and feel that having the more stranger civs having totally unique titles for things will certainly add to the game.
Observation of Mob Units
> regarding the nomenclature of the Mobs, I wonder if they would not have a more
'Soprano' feel to the units.
... Having units called - Enforcer, Hitman, Goon, Thug, Brut, Gangsta, main Man, Pimp, Fingers.
This again following the theme of individualising the civs more ... now please understand that I am coming from a week of testing and that only playing the
Enclave ... and I've noticed that many civs already have an individual feel ... but we can do wonderful things ...
The WH mod has totally different feel and look for all grpoups and then the civs within the group. ... some even have their own techs.
Decision ... Thor, I'm proposing to start a Spreadsheet
... a Bible for the Project if you like.
... The resulting spreadsheet can be used as a quick check for bugs in the text entry of the game.
... and a good double check for when changes are tweeked.
... It will be cross referenced to the civs, eras and could even be used to check graphics and text entry.
Request ... can you e-mail me what you got which will assist in this project.
I guess the thing I'm talking about is maybe not a priority to get it to a Beta release stage ... but then again .. could we have a
To Do List posted somewhere?
... I for one work better with one ..
... I used to be the Production Director of an experimental opera company (which I co-founded) and am used to working with the left brainers (directors, composers, artists) as well as the techos and actual doers LOL. ... My role was to ground and focus the team, while not strangling the creative process
Game Play
... noticed that it is difficult to get out of negative economy ... I understand the concept of it being a struggle ... but I'm thinking at the 10% upto 20% ... even 30% surely the rate would be positive.
At this stage zero research is still negative ... every town has library.
I tend to over build but ...
What are other's thoughts ???
WOW ... I got promoted
