what i would realy love is if PA was going to be a bit more city building game. instead of only military building being able to build houses ,markets... do you thing something like this is possible
Should be possible as a total conversion mod, but not in the main game. I'd like to see this mod... especially if it was the natural progression of Caveman to Cosmos (a Civ IV mod that is held back by the engine at the moment).
maybe. but i have a question .what is the point of a huge galaxy with huge planets only to build 5 military producing facilities and 5 resource gathering ones
Because the point of Planetary Annihilation is Annihilation. Also I take it you haven't see the Unit WhiteBox pics? The idea you'll only build 10 buildings is ridiculous. Part of the whole point of PA is scale, as in hundreds to THOUSANDS of units. Trying to shoehorn in civ building will only leave everyone disappointed. Mike
I think PA would be better if it was about racing high performance petrol-fuelled cars around an elliptical track. Prizes could be given for the first car to cross the finish line.
I think PA would be better if it was about commanders running around with various firearms, and capturing objectives. The commander with the most kills and caps gets to launch an asteroid at the planet while leaving.
I don't think the intention of this game will have anything to do with that, but if you are interested in a decent city building game check out Anno 2070. Its got a fun resource management system, trade routes and the ability to build huge cities Not much military aspect except as sort of a 'defense' and the game has a horrible learning curve, but its pretty fun
while it's far outside the scope of PA's already amazing concept, a full conversion mod that takes the PA engine and turns it into a 4X style "god game" sort of thing would be fantastic, and I would throw money at it
