Altering the UNP

Method · August 5, 2002, 15:37

it seems we are going to choose the UNP as our faction. so, are we going to change it to something Apolyton-ish, or just leave it as it is.

Leader: Moderater MarkG
Background: Apolyton CS forum Co-Owner
Agenda:blah blah blah

-1 efficiency {blah blah blah}
etc.

Basenames
Apolyton Central
Markos' House
Dan's House
M@ni@c City
Death By The Sword
Andemange Station
Kassiopeia Base
and so on...

DeathByTheSword · August 5, 2002, 15:45

i think the basename can be made by the commissioner or vice-c and the ministers....like very ministery has his own base....with an name that is ok.....and captured bases could be named after an exminister or ex-C that is now gone..........(orsomething like that) i do not like the idea that the bases will be apolyton related for the rest i think its cool but can anyone make this then...city grahps arent that imported.

Method · August 5, 2002, 15:47

so do we just want to keep the basenames?

DeathByTheSword · August 5, 2002, 15:50

no change them but change them to something game based or what the ministers want but nothing apolyton based. what we want and if that is apolyton based than ok...but nothing fixed

DeathByTheSword · August 5, 2002, 15:53

Method · August 5, 2002, 15:53

I liked especially those blah blah parts in the first post

me thinks that we should have a poll about what faction we choose, and do we modify it or not.

Method · August 5, 2002, 18:03

we do have a poll on what faction to use.

BTW those blah blah blah parts were only put there because i couldn't think of anything, not because blah blah blah is our agenda.

"Greetings CEO morgan. i am Markos of the Apolytonners. my intention is to blah blah blah. do not attempt to interfere"

United Nations of Planet. UN = Peacekeepers (or at least thats what Im guessing

)

I don't know exactly how we come up with city names at civ3dem, but people get selected, and then they can name the next city. This includes conquered cities. You might not want to force any city names before the city is made.

I think it stands for United Nations Peacekeepers.

I suppose the Director in charge of building cities, along with President could choose the city names out of citizens' suggestions.

In the civ3 demo game, we have a list of people and every time we create a new base, we go down that list. I named my city Tassagrad (and if I get the chance, there will be a New Tassagrad on planet)

The order is something people vote on. Order by citizen number? By ministers then citizens? random?

Anodyne · August 5, 2002, 18:51

Hmm.. I'd like to see Vittula on Alpha Centauri...

Or then I might just settle for Macondo, Ellooen Deeooen, and / or Babylondon (if anyone has read some García Marquez or Rushdie...)

Mr. President · August 5, 2002, 23:53

I am in favor of making our agenda "blah blah blah".

Instead of the Indian City Mangalore: ManiaGalore. What do you think?

Crisler · August 6, 2002, 08:47

I feel that we should leave the faction on the whole alone. However I like the idea of naming our own cities. I propose that the Commisioner and the Vice each have an opportunity to name a city and then furute cities during that term are subject to a pre-apporved list. In that manner the Commisioner and Vice get something to leave as a legacy.

I don't have smacx so could some one tell me what the pro/cons of the UNP are?

Method · August 6, 2002, 10:30

UNP is UN peacekeepers.

Tactical Marine · August 6, 2002, 10:35

Method · August 6, 2002, 10:39

i recently tried pasting the base pictures found at http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...8&pagenumber=2 over regular PK ones. the result was this...

Maniac · August 9, 2002, 16:38

I always have the same problem when trying to create custom factions. Networknode of the Network Node solved my problems, but he didn't explain me what caused them. Therefore I do not know how we could solve this.

Maniac · August 9, 2002, 16:40

Btw, I am the only one who gets the feeling the human player always starts on the Borehole continent on the Huge Map of Planet?

DeathByTheSword · August 9, 2002, 16:42
