I'm Improving the Improvements...

And They Shall Be Impecable!

Published on September 28, 2007 By ScottTykoski In GalCiv Journals

It's been a while since I've had something (I was allowed) to talk about, and with production in full swing for 'Twilight' I thought I'd pop in and show off some of the new Improvements we've been working on.

Pictures of some New Artwork

With the race specific tech-trees come TONS of new Planet Imps that need made, so that's what I'll be doing for the next few weeks. Above we have the following...

Arena of Agony: Boosting the morale of any evil race that may build it, the Arena takes the place of 'Entertainment Networks' used by some of the Neutral and Good races.

Slave Pits: A staple of the Drengin production force, Slave Pits do the work of a Factory for considerably less money and mechanical wear-and-tear (expendable slaves take most of the punishment). If you're a good player and take over a planet with Slave Pits, you'll have to either convert the vile improvement or risk a change in foreign opinion of your moral standings.

Temple: Uh...I actually don't know what Brad has planed for this one. I got an email that said 'I needs a Temple', so I mades him a Temple.

I guess that's it...Oh, and I've been helping the Ironclad team on their intro cutscene, winch also needs to be done by next month.

Wow, October is going to be crazy. I'll keep you posted on my sanity!

They probably hold a "slave of the month" award ceremony as well.

Seriously though, I don't see how this can be implemented without scrapping alignment choices or significantly altering how it works. Essentially by making every race truly unique, it will clearly define the ethics and culture of each race and hence whether they really are good or evil. I could never see races like the Drengin being anything but evil anyway, so I wouldn't mind if the choice of "researching" your alignment was taken away. Perhaps there could be different effects to the moral choices you make. Or maybe if you are fixed to a specific alignment at the start you could still sway between differing degrees of that alignment, which could impact your relations with other races. Eg, the Yor don't like you because you "aren't evil enough." I guess we will find out how this all works pretty soon when the beta gets released.

How weird its going to be when conquoring planets. So far we've seen the example of a good race taking over Drengin Slave Pits. But think about the You getting a planet full of moral buildings. and other cases when the existing planet improvement may be useless to the conquoring heroes. I think its cool though, Like you'll have to "convert" the planet into one that more resebles your race. Maybe ill even use some improvement-destroying invasion tactics.

I do wonder now if this means that invading a race of a similar ethical alignment will make more sence.

And keep those pics coming, and if you let something slip out, we won't tell. lol

Marshall, i think he can have all the fembots he needs, as long as we get more evil looking structures as these.
