Ridiculous Requests

Don't read this if you're serious! :)

from GalCiv2 Forums
Can you like create a modification for the Mass Driver tech tree where you can research a mass made out of cows? I mean come on! Would you fight an alien race which is crazy enough to shoot cows at you in space? And think about the graphic effect it would make on the beautifull bumb mapping of the ship's hulls that are being under attack!!! Brains, gutts and fecal matter!!!

Just the odour would make the other races run to their mothers (if they have any, after all, maybe they have weird sex rituals - which could also be explored as a game feature in the future), even though there is no air to permit transmission of odours in space, when the ships land on a planet they will stink. So they will have to scrap all their ships in space and/or be unable to upgrade them. Yeah, that's a cool idea and smart too!

If u read this post thus far, just know this : it's a joke. I'm waiting till friday to get the game (no money) and been reading all your posts. I'm just giving devellopers something to unwind at : stupid request. I think they're doing a great job.

If you have stupid requests feel free to post them here! hehe

There seems to be a lot of different projectile types depending on what weapon you're using, not all railgun bullets look the same, etc, so I'd bet one can mod in new projectile graphics. That is to say, you could probably mod in flying cows. I haven't seen yet any feature where bump-maps can be altered by weapons however, so there I'm not sure.

Imagine being able to add animated gifs to the game, flying rotating cows going splat on the hull of an enemy ship LOL!

Man you are insane!

Hey Fardoche, might I propose the addition of a new ruler? Passe-Partout.

My stupid suggestion would be to program in a random AI response for when you blow up their flagship. For instance, if your leader name were say...Khan.. then the Drengin would say, upon the blowing up of their prized vessel, "KHAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNN!"

Or maybe just program the AI to say that randomly for no reason at all.

In space no one can smell the rotting guts of your bovine projectiles so you're losing one of your major offensive aspects right there. If you had an armour piercing cow it might work; That way the cow carcass would actually penetrate the hull of the ship and the atmosphere inside the ship could bring the rot to the crew, incapacitating them. Against races that evolved from scavengers shooting cows at them would only provide them with snacks as they destroyed you.

Citizen DeadJohnny is right about the rotting cows on the exterior armor!! Then armor piercing cows would be great, but the ennemy could then counter this with Starbuck Ademanticow Armor...

Then we need new missile tech tree : Genetically enhanced CyberCow Missiles Mark III

This would be the motherload! (Again with the mothers...Damned aliens) The genetically enhanced cows would kill any scavengers trying to eat them.

Actually, we could have a race that would base all their tech tree on cows!

Exemples :

For bonus of population morale : Cow philosophy; a mutation of hindu religion where they replaced the meditation "Ummmmm" by a meditation "Moooo", Hence the expression : "calm as hindu cows"!

For Propulsion Technologie : Cow Fusion; by fusing 2 cows, u create energy and methane. The Energy will provide movement and the methane will be used as afterburners.

Stealth : Cowardise; by disguising as cows, agents can infiltrate a lot easier any ennemy planet, but there is the penalty that they may get slaughtered for their meat.

And just an added bonus for the Cow mass Driver : when u use them, u get a bonus health and moral on all your planets. Why you ask? Simple I answer! Cause less cows on your planets means less farts, less farts means lesser global warming effects (It is a true fact that the farts of cows are part of the equation to the global warming of our planet), hence the envirenmentalists will be happy. Also, less cows, means more place for population.

There is a security penalty though, more terrorist activities from animal groups activists like peta, but hey! What can you do, right?

Anyway... I think I went too far now.

P.S. Citizen FuzzyMatrix, yes it is true that my name is reminescent of this great 70"s french canadian children show Passe-Partout, but I only took this name to give an insight of my farmer origins.... To think of it, I don't have anybody in my family who are farmers.... Then I guess I chose this name cause I didn't know what to call myself!

I'm gonna take another cup of cofee now.

I'd ask what you were smoking -- but I notice it's coffee you're drinking. That explains a lot.

Hmm. Cows? Why not take it one step further and use ping pong balls?

Well... There is no reason... I thought about a race that would concentrate on Beaver technologies (Barrage of Tree Mass Driver Mark V, Beaver Tail Missiles, Beaver Fur-Mantium Armor to name a few), but the fact that a Female exclusive race could exist, does not make sense.

Arg... Think I'm gonna pass for a matcho for this one.

That is rather funny. MOO 3 would be the tech that would “utterly” fail and cause all future hopes for such techs to vanish, and cause a huge section of your population to abandon you as the undisputed leader.

In other words MOO3 would indeed go, “splat!”

..Actually I think you could have a shotting cow weapon. You'd just need to model the cow and make a .x file and put it in the weapons directory and have a component in the gc2types.xml point to it.
