The Eri (Hive)
A wartorn race, who bear the mostly resemblance to the Orcs in terran mythology.
They are humanoids, and their homeland is the earth-like planet of Eritka.
They have always been a very backwards society, carrying out whatever shamanistic rituals they seem fit. They were also fighting constant war between the tribes on Eritka. There hadn't been any signs of any major technology, except for more and more advanced weapons. Such as flame-ball throwers and acid-showers.
But one day, according to their own records, a "godly" people came from heaven and gave them knowledge.
From that day Eri, as they are called started building a gigantic empire on their planet. The "gods" also gave them the technology of
interstellar travel. The Eri saw this as a magnificent opportunity to expand their empire, and began working on spaceships.
Their first recorded landing on a nearby planet is 2114 Earth Years. They had begun their conquest of terror throughout the galaxy.
The godly people can be one of the "Elder" races in the Outer Rim.

Is the map actually modeled after a certain region of the galaxy or are the systems just placed randomly?
I'm sure i read somewhere that all new expanding races should be in the core, and the old dying races out along the rim. But i could be wrong.
Heres my Race:
The planet Plastia is a planet similiar to Earth, some what isolated from the rest of the Galaxy and is majority water. The people that live on this planet are a mix of Humanoid and semi intelligent animals. It is also split into several nations like Earth but unlike Earth it expirianced an industrial Revolution earlier and almost achieved intersteller travel but the Empire of Zion fell who controlled much of Plastia and the advanced technology that they possesed also fell with them. They have yet to redescover it and have not industrialized yet they are stuck in about what we would call about the mid Rennaisance. They belive in a Single god who once walked the Earth with them but left them for the heavens and on day will return. Lately a new thought has been born and is spreading through out the old Monarchys and Empires on Plastia, Socialism.
Thats all I got

I think I might do somehing à la mindworms in SMAC, any objections to that?
EDIT: and have you seen, we are mentioned in the new Paradox Tribune?

Yes. They said the whole thing revolved around Reviled and Josip! DAMN THEM!!!
-_-
There, there, i'm sure they love you too.. :rofl:The Gonzo said:
Now tell me, What do you think about my Eri race?
I like it.Da Swede said:
And about the mindworms: Why not? The galaxy is a big place, and anyway, the city graphics would look soo nice.
We maybe could look at the CivFanatics forum for Civilization 3 sprites, and remake them for EU2. But i have no idea how.. ^^
Making sprites? I don't know of anyone (except Kaigon, but he is semi-retired)...Mezzo said:
Converting sprites from Civ3? Cool-toxic seems to be quite good at it, and as Mr. Capitalist earlier found, Civ3 has quite a lot of space-sprites...
We could ask in CivFanatics for a sprite maker. I imagine there shouldn't be too much difference between the two sprite thingys.
Nope there isn't.. There's even a Sprite request thread where you put Civ sprites and some guy transforms them to EU2. Long queue though.
That's Cool-toxic who does that, anyway, as we are doing a space mod, then a spaceship shouldn't be too hard to do as a sprite, as it doesn't need to move a lot (it has no legs) so it should be easier to make space sprites than vanilla EU2 sprites. I think.Da Swede said:

The Chingits
The Chingits are a race of warlike aliens from the planet of Pithra in the southwest of the Galaxy. Humanoid in appearance save for a shelled back and 7ft tall, the Chingit are ruled by the strongest and smartest among them, who they name "Great Chingit". The Chingit are one of the newest spacefaring races, having gained the ability less than 100 years ago when an alien race (who the Chingits call Ck-aha) encountered them while they were in the "Early Modern" stages of deveopment. At the time Pithra was in the midst of an arms race between several Great Chingit and their followers, and when the alien explorers made contact with one of the leaders known as "Hyachak", he immediately joined the Ck-aha as part of their interstellar empire. When the other Great Chingits, fearful of these extra-terrestrials allied and attacked Hyachak, the Ck-aha promised assistance and rained death upon most of the Planet, causing massive destruction. Nevertheless, Hyachak became the first Great Chingit to rule all of Pithra.
Hyachack however, was smarter than he (or his kind) seemed. He managed to manipulate the Chingit population into beliving that they had been almost destroyed by the Ck-aha, and that Hyachack had lead an army to fight them and stop the destruction of his people with much success. He managed to foster a hate of the "opressive aliens" within the Chingit, and prepared them for war. He altered the few lightly armoured Ck-aha Spaceships he had with massive cannons and meters of Terranium plating, forcing whole continents to work on the upgrades to the first Chingit interstellar ships.
Within a few decades, he was ready. He struck hard, taking the peaceful and ill-prepared Ck-aha by complete suprise and capturing the Ck-aha homeworld of Erill within the first few weeks of the war. The Ck-aha were not a species built for battle, and quickly fell during the following months of battle with the Chingit. By 2081, Chao, Qualn, Luna, Valhalla, Vakin, Hathor, Sokar, Vilz, Andra and Rodo had all fallen to the might of the Chingit war-machine, finally destroying the last outposts of Ck-aha resistance. With the impending capture of Sokar by the Chingit, the fleeing Ck-aha Government decided that there was only one option open to them. Every single ship availabe was filled with Ck-ahan Refugees, Soldiers and Scientists and sent west to deliver their revenge on the Chingit and rebuild Ck-ahan civilisation. The convoy had to first escape the blockade and then enemy space altogether, though, before it's mission could be completed. Sadly, thousands of the convoy ships were destroyed while escaping Chingit controlled space, meaning that only a few hundered thousand Ck-ahan actually lived to see them reach the south-western reaches of the Galaxy.
The Ck-aha however, had their revenge. The escaping fleet reached their destination, the Chingit homeworld of Pithra, and unleashed a massive planetary bombardment on the world killing every single lifeform on the entire planet. The unaware Chingit had no chance to fight back, almost the entire fleet was away bent on the conquest of their killers. The Ck-aha now had another task, the colonisation of the other worlds. They did so, establishing cities and spaceports on Octavia, Vitellius, Patroklos, Petroni and even Pithra itself. But soon, the Chingit came home to find their homeworld obliterated and occupied by a few thousand Ck-aha. The advance party intended to massacre the aliens, but were fought back by Ck-aha fleet who stunned the Chingit with their ferocity and stubborness. Hyachak himself was furious, but had reached the end of his long life. Even on his deathbead in 2083, he was still planning the total defeat of the Ck-ahan with his maps. His death was mourned throughout the Chingit world, and it was replaced by anarchy.
The past 80 years have had an astounding effect on the Chingit. The utter destruction of Pithra has created a severe lack of Chingit Mating Couples, making many belive that the Chingit species may not survive unless it crossbreeds with the Ck-aha. The governmental consequences of the destruction are significant too, the Chingit homeworld has been moved from Pithra to Erill, displacing millions of Ck-ahan who have been mostly sent to the "Death Moon", Chao. There are also many who now claim to be the Great Chingit, after Hyachak's death a Great Council was set up on Erill to deal with the successor, which was almost completely ignored. The new leader would have been chosen by a series of complex trials set up by the previous Great Chingit on Pithra, however they were totally destroyed in the devestation, and Hyachak had little time left to build a new set of trials. Most Chingit had little intention of following this self-proclaimed "Council" and built up their own little fiefdoms with which they made war on each other and massacred Ck-aha. The Ck-aha had been cowed enough with infrequent massacres not to rebel or make war in the time of anarchy, and the Free Ck-aha used this time to consolidate themselves in their area of space.
It would take a new Great Chingit, one in the mold of Hyachak himself, to unite the Chingit, finally defeat the Ck-aha and expand to rule the Galaxy. It could be you!
