Why would it be better to have a text document in another place? I guess you can do all that in an orderly fashion in issues, or here ?

Because ideas can be consolidated and organized. For example, imagine if all the civ names that were suggested in this thread were in a single list, and you could could strikethrough all the ones that won't be considered, and eventually delete them. And people could simply add more names to the list until final decisions are made.

On that document, if you highlight some text, you can create a comment thread, so you can essentially have threads for specific items that require discussion.

I've threw some things on to the document to illustrate more clearly. Anyone, feel free to edit

[Radiotraining]

Awesome stuff!! It's great to see all ideas and contributions coming together! ^^ 

Thanks for creating it, Andy and great spirit of initiative! I'm going to read the proposals and come back if I have feedbacks

I encourage anyone who is interested in making this mod to take a look too, so more ideas can be welcomed 

 

[Radiotraining]

Okay, feedback: to be really honest I tried to write some backstory for the mod just a few posts ago, that sparked a bit of discussion and ideas very recently. I thought you could have picked from there, since is the most "fresh" development. Anyway any story/idea is good. We just have to pick one and stick with it. Otherwise we risk to not move forward 

Anyway I gotta say that the document manages to keep everything more tidy and organized! Especially the selection of names and the building list. It helps to have everything there at first glance

Let's do a back story open another entry.

[Radiotraining]

Well, the story itself is not a big deal. Everything could work  It's just to reach some clarity because if everyone think something different then is very difficult to develop something. And having yet another version adds confusion. Just that. But anything is good for me.

Anyway we can follow along with Andy document and try to shape the rest of buildings/units which are also important as a guideline for the project

I do like to imagine.

I made a detailed backstory entry.

Aaaah gotcha!! good one! Yeah, I'm curious to see also your ideas! 

Now it's a bit too late, but tomorrow and next days I'll contribute with these documents as well that we can use as blueprint for the mod 

[Lion.Kanzen]

Humans will have 4 styles of play depending on the concept called the "wisdom of the ancients".

The Styles are:

United Nation: Europe and Latin America.

African Union.

Euroasian style

North-American style (Five eyes).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes

 

 Each style will have unique units.

I must write them in Spanish but I already have the prologue.

Spoiler

the dream of a united humanity begins with the ideas of globalization after the Napoleonic wars.

The wealthy defender of the British Empire Cecil Rhodes, who founded the De Beers Group, in connection with and with the support of financiers of the British Empire, gave rise to the diamond industry (and today to blood diamonds). Rhodes gave his name to entire countries: Northern and Southern Rhodesia (today Zambia and Zimbabwe). Rhodes (1853-1902) had the project to build a whole railway and communication network in Africa to protect the British Empire. It should be noted that Rhodes' ideas were imperialist, as they usually are among the highest echelons of society, considering that the Anglo-Saxon cultureshould rule the world and unite to consolidate this regime. This would be "the basis, the foundation that will allow the birth of a World State animated by the principles and philosophy of the Anglo-Saxon commercial aristocracy" that would lead to "the birth of a World Commercial State".

I love history.

There are 3 main terran factions that appear in the original game. The Terran Confederacy, The Sons of Korhal, and The UED (United Earth Directorate).

Feel free to add it to the doc under the backstory section. My intention wasn't to add everything already mentioned in this thread, but just throw something up quick and dirty-like to provide some vague idea of what I had in mind.

Ah, sure... better to create a new doc then and post it here and/or add it to the backstory section of the main doc?

I made a new document just to connect our era and that of the mod. I am compiling all the world events and some stories from books or articles.

[Lion.Kanzen]

I like the Lore of the origin of the Transformers.

Also in Marvel there are superior beings like that.

[Lion.Kanzen]

https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Celestials

In our universe there will be a being that originated everything. And from him he originated other beings as workers the "primal builders"

They are gods for the rest of the races. They would be giant beings as in mythologies, with the power to manipulate organisms.

As long as it's a reasonable equivalent to Star Craft i'm fine with it

Sounds good! Is not a problem really! It was just to understand where to start from. But as I said, anything can do! 

I appreciate the initiative because it keeps everything more clear and organized.

I would like to help out more, cause I like the idea of a space themed mod, but since I have never played Star Craft it's hard to suggest something close to it

Well all the stats are on the internet, a lot of the buildings are in the pureref file  You can also watch a game on the internet   I doesn't have to be Startcraft, but it has to play similarly.

yeah, as Stan has said it's pretty straightforward. "Starcraft" is just a general reference, but since it's all work of imagination, anything can be useful to create a believable "universe" of aliens and humans.

What is needed right now is probably inspirations, references and materials that can be used to create new concepts and models.

The core elements of Starcraft are very simple: less economic management and more fast paced action. Three asymmetrical races perfectly balanced together: Terrans, Zerg (insect-like organic aliens) and Protoss (highly developed aliens)

Here you can get an idea : https://starcraft.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_StarCraft_II_units

But any other game can be similarly useful as reference: C&C Tiberian wars, warhammer etc..
