design and modding for Universe is impossible cuz it's simple not out yet.
and it's hardly considered as "design" because these areQuestions. it's question about how it will work,hardly anything about design of his mod and ideas.
i really don't like how subforum specifically for modding and design(there actually fixed meaning for this word) mutating in to random spam junkyard.
i personally have no interest in digging through all of this nonsense just to find mod.
that's why we have separate subforum and general forum in the first place.
not sure where it goes ? post in the general forum. solid mod or design ? well,you know where to post it.
PS: my tits are calm,they are just shaken by the wind of disorder.
Respectfully speaking Mad Igor, in response to your post please review the following:
One, what WAS asked:
I have a few questions. Some may have already been answered in some form, but I'd like further clarity on a few things with a specific context in mind:
Seeing how you can have multiple playable maps in the same "theme" (from what I saw in Das' first Universe video), will you be able to set up numerous maps to essentially have the same function that the "start dates" do in the game Crusader Kings 2. -- (This is a 'Game Editor' Question)
I.E Geographically each of them is the same map, but each one is a different period in a universe's history, each with different playable factions and national borders.
Directly related to the previous question: Will we be able to modify the year in each map?
-- {Note the word "modify". This is a 'Modding' question)
Are we capable of making an empire which is dominated by one race, but not actually have any aliens from that race in that empire (by removing all their populations in the editor), -- (Pretty self-explanatory)
thus having it populated solely by the minor races that are in it, as if it were a loose multicultural/multinational federation? A better question is, does doing this cause any weird problems with the game (i.e your dominant race changing)? -- (again, a modding question).
I haven't tested it yet, and I haven't run into a situation where my entire starting race has been suddenly eradicated from my empire through genocide leaving only other aliens who've been conquered or migrated to my empire.
Is there any limit to how far into the future we can make an event actually occur? Can I go so far as to make an event take 500 game years from the start of the scenario to actually happen? Better yet, can you tell events to occur on a specific year? -- (Pretty self-explanatory again that he's talking about 'modding')
E.G, I want to create a scenario in which you simply (semi-)peacefully build a large empire, and then have the scenario set up so that 150 years after the game start you will have several rebellions trigger.
Will we be able to create a blank map with no stars or nebulas on it for maximum world-building power? -- (Definitely a 'scenario' building question)
If not, I'd really like to suggest that you make it so that we're able to.
Just how customisable will government types be? -- (Customize/Mod, synonymous wouldn't one say)
To make the answer easier, the few specific things I'd like to be able to do other than modify the stat-boosts of a government type is to be able to change the way the empire generates and replaces leaders. I'd even go so far as to have certain governments spawn multiple leaders to simulate having a "Troika" or a constitutional monarchy with a king/queen and a prime minister.
If neither of those things are doable, is it possible for us to at least make certain government types directly affect the spawn rates of certain characters? I.E Republics cause more colony governors to spawn -- (Again, a 'modding' question)
This is semi-related to the last question.
Character types. Will we be able to create totally new character types that tie in to the kind of government that you have. I.E Having an ordinary "leader" character as your monarch who gets replaced similar to how monarchs get replaced normally, and then also having a "prime minister" character-type who is replaced through democratic processes the same way leaders are replaced in democracies and republics. -- (Definitely a modding question)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please remember that DW Universe is a combination of ALL the previous DW versions, which allows one to choose how they wish to play, mod or design/create a scenario for the game. I've been a tester since Return of The Shakturi and I know Elliot has taken into consideration MANY ideas specifically
from this forum, the Master Wishlist forum, individual player requests and one creature contest (which is
where the dreaded SilverMist came from).
Please state where a better posting place should be. If you need, please re-read my previous post number 8 above. Hopefully this respectfully clarifies to you my position concerning this.
