Civilization: Beyond Omniverse

[Rubick]

I have a REALLY freaking dumb idea that might just be hilarious.

There's a small fad in the Civilization community that involves letting the AI control their nations and fight bouts against themselves without player interference. With some mods to configure a decent setup, it's possible to sim an entire game in this fashion as you monitor the world with your submarine under the shadows of packed ice, meaning player control is essentially nil.

Here's where the Omniverse comes in. People who want to join in this little experiment can post their characters and the names of what they want their empire and title to be (for example, Rubick, Grand Magus of The Society).

I'll put everyone who joins in in command of a nation. Starting positions and the characteristics of the AI will be randomized and impartial. I can then provide screenshots of major events as I sim the conflict in my free time. I'm still deciding whether it'll be completely Domination victory or if there'll be other victories enabled, but rest assured it should be interesting depending on who joins.

Also this might not even work...but...no reason not to try. SCIENCE DEMANDS IT!

Since this is my first time attempting this, I had to do a bit of research.

I've tested the process of actually getting the map revealed and having the AI take control of it all and succeeded. Setup 50% complete.

I'm now in the process of using some free time to quickly code your civilizations, since name changing only works for the player. When the civilizations are done, I can start letting the game do its thing.

[Okor]

Sweet. Can't wait to see it. I take it you're using Beyond Earth for this? Do you have rising tide installed?

[Gilgamesh]

King Gilgamesh and the Babylonian Empire

[Rubick]

Ja. I'm using BE because my copy of Civ V is currently stuck at vanilla, and BE vanilla is a lot more in-depth in comparison.

Unfortunately I don't have Rising Tide installed. Probably might in the future when i have the funds to waste on vidya gaems.

Also added ye in Gilga.

If anyone else takes note of this feel free to add yours in. I might have to do two games instead of one depending on if more join tho.

I can say for certain that I've successfully made the bare bones for a functioning civilization, starting with Adam's Anachronomalous ChronoKingdom (fuck, I don't even know if I'm saying that right anymore).

Here's a small portion of XML code to show that yes, indeed, it's actually getting done, and will happen in the near future.

It wouldn't look pretty if you were to actually play the game with it, but the bare basics such as AI, territory color, city names, and the like, the things you guys will actually be seeing, are ready to go, at least for this civ. The other 13 or so should just be some quick copy-pasting!

Depending on how much time I have, I might assign unique personality values to all of them as well...but that'd entail a lot of reading of profiles and translating words to mere numbers. Also certain values left in character would screw some civs over from the start, such as making them too non-aggressive or averted from building military units. Therefore my current course of action will be to just assign them all the most aggressive/deceptive personality currently in the game (ARC), which should provide for some interesting situations.

Also considering i've started a skeleton for each of these guys, I may actually turn this into a full-fledged mod. But that's a story for another day. First there must be a battle to the death for ultimate control of teh Omnivurse :frog:
