Fixed it.

Somwhow, while typing the previous reply, I horribly and epically failed with the background colour.

"Mr. Clemens was once asked whether he feared death.

Eh, just quotes about any subject and from any era. "When we abandon the thought of immortality we at least have cast out fear. We gain a certain dignity and self-respect. We regard our fellow-travellers as companions in the pleasures and tribulations of life. We feel an interest in them, knowing that we are all moved

1. If you were the Emperor of an Empire, what would you place priorities on: peace, prosperity, ecological preservation, the quality of life of your citizens, number of planets under your control, technology, scientific levels? 2. Would you maintain a large military fleet or a small planetary defense fleet? <span style="font-f

Could a civilization realistically fit billions of people on a Earth-sized planet while sustaining ecological diversity?

How would any Faction gain global control of a planet?

Stant, I have two questions for you: First off, you know how when you bombard a highly populated planet (Terran, for instance) and you destroy all the planet health, but theres still alot of population and cities and the cities explode when planet health reaches zero? Well, why exactly would the cities

I kind of disagree with you Stant123 about planets having no cities on them before you colonize.When I look at planets I can see lights on the surface which clearly indicate cities.

I'll continue from my last post, most of the planets you can colonize are inhabitable and have native populations, therefore, they would have their own developed infrastructure, including energy creation and distribution and agriculture when you first colonize. They would have their own cities and their own government, so why would you have build out the native population centers when there already develo

In the Trinity manual , under the Starting A New Empire section, it mentions: "Make sure to build out the population centers of any new planet you acquire. You'll lose money until you do so and you won't last long with the credits draining from your economy." as an explanation for the Underdevelopment Tax, so here's my question: why would un-upgraded native population centers be a drain on your credi

First off, happy Friday! Second, I'm going to use a part of one of Uranium - 235's reply to the Conquering Planet:why only bombardment thread to help get the gist of my question:"It's infrastructure, that's what the upgrades are called. When you're dropping bombs in the upper megaton range like th

Speaking of bombing a planet to the Stone Age, have you ever seen the defeat screens for the TEC or the Advent, that's what the planetary surface would probably look like.

On some Asteroids there is a bonus called Frequent Meteorites and I was just wondering: If you don't have a planet-side population how are going to collect the minerals from the Meteorites?

After orbital bombardment destroys all government facilities and major cities on a planet, I would think that much of the population would be in refugee camps so, how much would be needed to re-naturalize them as citizens and to reconstruct the cities?

Would the natives of planet that was just nuked/kinetic-bolted/beamed to the Stone Age abandon their Modern beliefs? I'm just wondering.

a110, wouldn't the colonial government be centered in the major cities, along with much of the population?

I found the story I was talking about:it's called By the Waters of Babylon by Stephen Vincent Benét. Here's the summary:Set in a future following the destruction of industrial civilization, the story is narrated by a young man who is the son of a priest. The priests of John’s pe

Wouldn't that imply that much of the Sentient population was bombed to nuclear ashes?

How much do you think it would cost to occupy a Terran planet,more or less,intact?

Could someone please tell me why the survivors of the nuclear holocaust in the story I mentioned reverted back to the Stone Age after Earth's major cities were decimated?

But why would the TEC send the survivors to POW camps when they could re-naturalizing them as citizens so they could pay taxes?

True, alright the Vasari are out of the equation, who do you would win a ground battle, TEC or Advent?
