"Modern Humanity" Proposal

When I started playing Endless Space, I soon realized that United Empire and Pilgrims were the humans in the game. The problem is that neither the United Empire nor the Pligrims satisfy me. The United Empire is imperialist and their clothes and architectures are too much "gothic". And Pilgrims tattoo their faces. Then I thought: what if there was a humanity more "modern", equal to the humanity in the game Mass Effect? Then I came to the conclusion that it would be interesting if there was such humanity into the game, which would have no connection with the United Empire, nor with the Pilgrims. Such humans would not replace either of them, it would be just a addition, like if the United Empire and Pilgrims had never existed. You could add this modern humanity and the United Empire in a gameplay, but that would not make sense, since the humans that I am proposing here would be an alternate version of the present humans in the game.



Just to give you an idea, the architecture of such humanity would look like the architecture of an futuristic Vancouver in the game Mass Effect, as seen in the image below:

Or like New Alexandria of the game Halo: Reach (try to imagine the image below with no destruction and no enemy ships flying everywhere):

Well, but that's just a suggestion. I just wanted to speak my mind here, and I'm not saying that such humanity should be added to the game, I'm just saying that it would be interesting (at least to me smiley: stickouttongue).

This is my response to that suggestion.







I get enough of the 'Modern World' every day when I wake up. I don't want to see it again but with more flying cars and monorails in my games. I'm sick enough of playing and seeing the 'modern world' in fantasy and historical games because developers can't seem to imagine anyone wanting to play or relate to someone other than a pastiche of the patriotic American.



The United Empire and the Pilgrims are both unique takes on humanity, and both are possible evolutions of our society. Look at how much has changed in the past 1000 years, do you seriously expect that our society, values and beliefs will be exactly the same a millennium from now? Does Earth even exist in the universe of Endless Space, considering that every game technically takes place a different galaxy?



If you want the Systems Alliance, then a make a custom faction with the Pilgrims affinity or go back to Mass Effect. It's not like the ships are exactly sporting tattoos or something.

LOLOLOL! I'm just exposing my ideas. And I also did not say that such humanity must be added in the game, it's just an idea. And it would not replace neither the Pilgrims nor the United Empire...it would just be an addition.

I understand your idea, since I wasn't absolutely sattisfied with UE or Pilgrims either, but I guess this can be done by a Customfaction and/or a more free customisation-process with own pictures and Avatar-Pcs. smiley: smile

I agree with you, Veers. In my opinion, there could be added a way to customize the affinities, like adding a custom picture for the faction, as you've said, and if possible, a way of modeling the ships for that faction.

I think it is even in consideration, if not already in progress. I would love to have some custom Avatar-Pics for my CustomFactions. smiley: approval

Well, like Codename_Veers mentioned just above, we have mentioned here in the first add-on the ability to mod ship meshes and textures (Modding). And you can already add custom pictures for the factions through a mod again.
