Yes, that was a good idea. We can have advanced nation strength, abbreviated ANS, and just nation strength, NS. The tech thing could be a multiplier, plus the other factors. There could actually be a formula for it, where the number of soldiers is divided by a number and then multiplied by a technology strength, infrastructure strength and land strength.
Hmm. A system could be, make up a military strength number, technology strength number, land strength number and infrastructure strength number, MS, TS, LS and IS, then add them together and divide by four to get the NS.
We could have a planetary strength, which could be the nation strength of all nations added together.
And at last, an empire strength. If a nation has made it into space and got mulitiple planets, the strength of all the areas it has.
But with the ANS, was your idea then to make it a choise whether to use ANS or NS as a measurement for nation strength?
By the way, how often are you on Spore? I was thinking about making an adventure in GA with your Tripe crashing down in Industrix on Laktra, where the player plays as either the Tripe or a Zarva and then has to follow the history (try to repair the spacecraft in the lab, perhaps launch it or experience The Kalva Nation invade the bunker, and what the future might bring).
But the problem is, I've tried to search for the Tripe and remove you from my friends list and add you again, but my com just won't download the Tripe again. If you can, it would be great if you would upload another Tripe, or send me the image made by the game in My Spore Creations so I can upload one (I will give you credit for it, but you might prefer to upload it yourself?). I will continue trying to get the Tripe though.
