Empire Types |
I have to say, that i love this game... so many things are possible. I even created a "Mobile Transwarp Hub" (Baseship equipped with many Wormhole creators and destroyers / thank you, Borg), but i guess i'm not the only one who did that.
Something that really bugs me is that the Type of the Empire ,i.e. Kingdom, Federation, Republic, Regime, etc., has no effect on this game. And there are many Examples thoughout history that many states don't really are what they claim to be in their names.
I was thinking, if it was possible to determine what can be or can't be built in the Empire due to its Empire Type (perhaps via Racial Trait "Federal Empire Type").
For example, you choose "Federation" you can built some sort of "Federal Parliament" one per Empire and "Local Parliaments" per System you inhabit. Or you choose "Regime", so you can't build any sort of Democratic Facilities like Parliaments but one "Imperial Seat of Goverment".
Does anyone understand, what i mean? And if so, what do you think? 
Re: Empire Types
I think, dimension is rather irrelevant. My games always take hundreds of rounds, until the really interesting part of the game starts.
But that's a good idea. I'll keep you posted and write about it, when i'm finished.
Re: Empire Types
I don't know if the game needs another new dimension added to it. You can tie this in some way to the "Cultural Studies" tech.
