Complaint: Race "homeworld name" is really "homestar name"

August 30, 2005 8:21:56 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
The label "Homeworld" is not exactly right, since it names the Star that your homeworld orbits. I started a game as the Humans, and started at the star named Earth, with planets Earth I, Earth II and Earth III. I don't want to live on Earth III, it sounds like a bad movie sequel!

I disagree. Homeworld I feel is correct.

Home - Your place of origin
World - the planet

Hence the word Homeworld.

The names of each planet around Sol could be changed IMO.

I think what PC is saying (and correct me if im wrong) is that when he makes a custom race, and sets the name of his homeworld, that he want's that wo be the name of the planet that he starts on.  RIght now, the code is setting the name of the star as whatever he's entered for his 'Homeworld' name.

Ideally we'd also put in a space for players to put in the name of their HomeSTAR as well, but that's further down the list of priorities ATM
