Don't you think that the introduction of unique homeworld for every race could be a good addition to this game? In the actual implementation every race has a random homeworld which doesn't add anything to gameplay or immersion.

A unique homeworld should have:

- fixed name which is identifiable everytime you play

- every homeworld could have specific environment, anomalies, bonuses or maluses

- brief lore introduction of the planet

-(OPTIONAL) unique graphic look

The introduction of unique homeworld has several positive effects:

-further differentiate the gameplay when playing with any race

-further improve immersion and delve even deeper in the races lore

The only drawback is that it could require minor art assets for devs to create unique graphic look for planets, but it is optional.

So by the last one being optional I presume the rest are mandatory and you wouldn't support getting any one of them without getting the rest?

Just messing with you. Anyways, I think it could be a cool idea. But don't the races already have favored home worlds? The amoeba have ocean, the pilgrims have jungle, Horatio has arid, etc?

Well that at least is my idea

.

Yes they have a fixed planet type but their planet is not recognizable because it is random.

For example i would be interested to know whether United Empire has Earth as their homeworld.

Just make the system a yellow star and rename it in-game?

If you look at the first post it's not the point of the thread

It's small touches and details like custom homeworlds, custom ships and species specific lore that add depth to a game in my opinion. I think having custom homeworlds, with custom stats and working it in to the game lore would be a great addition.

I also think it's a good idea, although there should be about 8-10 unique planets available as a starter planet for customized races. Perhaps even disallow the unique planets of the stock races for customized races as an added bonus for anyone taking stock races.

+1 for this idea, would make finding the "homeworld' planets of the opposing races a quest in itself

Actually i was thinking to make a post for that today good to see that more ppl think about it

I would love to see fixed starting system both on name and planets. Most of my games i start with the race specific planet and 2 asteroid belts while AI starts with full planet system ( i conquered their home system thats why i know it :twist

The issue i see with a unique name is having multiple of the same race in a game but they could have a back up name or 2 or 3.

I posted about this awhile ago, it should be a complete system and heroes a "Lore Start" for each of the races.
