Rebelious Planets

[Darwin]

I've noticed that when planets rebel and start their own empires, they are easily destroyed. They are at a severe disadvantage. I was thinking that maybe the new empire should get any ship or station, in orbit of their new homeworld. Maybe this would give them a better change to survive. Just wanted to run this by everyone, get opinoins before writing Aaron.

I am against this. It's better to leave it as is, as this is more balanced.

Later in the game, you can just more a ship into the system and ask for their surrender, thus gaining the world and any ships back into the empire of yours.

a lot of people don't like it when the computer cheats, the way it is now is just fine.

How would it be Cheating?

because the computer gets resources that materialize out of thin air. it would be like beating down the computer and suddenly he gets 40 new ships from no where. some people don't like that. because this usually takes the place of a real AI in other games. SEIV has a pretty good AI to start with, so it doesn't need to rely on cheap tricks.

I think that this would be a good idea. Giving the rebelling faction some ships and all. I mean what's so bad about a planet rebelling, you can just put it down. If it has ships it has some sort of chance. This would also make a good senerio. You are a rebelling planet at the edge of the empires border.

What would be even better, is if you are an unpopular leader, have whole systems rebel from you all at once. Like a coup detat. That would be even more fun because then you have another empire to deal with. Though the AI would have to be improved if the rebel empire had any chance of winning against empires like ours.

And an even bigger/better idea. Civil war. Have half of your empire rebel and go to war with you.

That's jut my 2 cents though.
