Hi ,

I quickly read the post here , but i don't see anything about planet that "evolve" through time... By evolving , i mean that a planet with full population will be partially covered with cities , like this , when you just colonise a planet , you'll see nothing , but when a Terran planet have 6 of population , you'll see huge city

And when you attack a planet , before taking it down , the city's will be progressively destroy , with big black smoke cloud due to fire

What do you think about this idea ?

It's a nice idea, though the models would have to be really high quality to not look a bit silly. This may be why we haven't seen it before, I don't know if they are currently working on anything like this, but it would be interesting to see. Then maybe also having some unique buildings in there based on your planetary exploitation or something.

Yeah , i don't know if they're working on it , but i took the idea from Civilisation V : it's so good when you see a big city full of house *-*

Your title made me think of something else completely. An anomaly called 'sentient planet'. It could be quite interesting!

Doubt you could really make theat look good and make sense. maybe, have the planets go dark (ie: show a representation of them rotating. Then show the lights from the cities).

Also you could show a polluted planet's atmosphere getting dirty etc.

but really all this is window dressing, neat to look at, but not important to the game. atleast imo.

I agree the game is already pretty enough and while extras are wonderful I'm much more concerned with multiplayer and balancing atm.

like the idea of "evolving" planets. hope there will be some "evolving" , especially when there is reacting events like disasters, attack etc.

I've thought about it for a bit, and I think having lights criss cross the planet when it has a high population could look pretty cool.
