hi friends, i have a question about the adjectives in txt file; below a practical example, i'm referring to the last line

Navy Federation, The Seaman, Navy, F, 1, Svanzkuffer, F, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0,
TECH, AdapDoc, TECH, DocFlex, TECH, DocInit, TECH, Metal, SOCIAL, +ECONOMY, SOCIAL, SOCIAL, +MORALE, SOCIAL, +INDUSTRY, AQUATIC, 0
Values, Power, MORALE
nil, nil, nil
Navy, Navy

first 'Navy' is reported on the description of military units when played by AI, example 'Navy Chaos Squad' 'Navy Laser Infantry' ?? and second 'Navy' is used as diplomacy adjective in conversation screen ?? it's right or wrong what i've belived to detect ??
thanks to reply me

Kilkakon · « **Reply #212 on:** June 27, 2013, 12:53:44 PM »

I THINK that the second one is used when the first one won't fit.

I just keep them both the same myself.

ariete · « **Reply #213 on:** June 28, 2013, 10:35:36 AM »

thank you kilkakon
i was thinking to identify what is the size of leaderhead in pcx file, which is used during battles, just to give him a more military connotation, but i don't want it used for something other as in council window.

Kilkakon · « **Reply #214 on:** June 28, 2013, 01:12:11 PM »

Sadly the one you are thinking of is used in both battles and council.

JarlWolf · « **Reply #215 on:** July 18, 2013, 12:34:03 PM »

Ariete, do you have that synthesized Believers+Planet Cult+ Gaians faction? I plan an AAR soon and I wish to include one of your factions, and for faction variety a militant Green fundamentalist seems appropriate.

Let me know your thoughts: Some of your work is really nice, you know how to make a good militarist faction.

Edit: If you require idea's/names for them and other help, I can definitely assist. I would be happy to help.

As for names off the bat, The Church of Chiron, The Brotherhood of Chiron, The Planet Guards, The Green Army.

Does it look alright? You have changed names a couple of times.

Is the Free Company what you want to go with?

Like I said earlier I have played a game with the Company played by the AI. It seemed to work just fine.

Rymdolov · « **Reply #217 on:** July 19, 2013, 11:00:06 AM »

This is the Federation proof. Only minor changes. Fixed grammar of the blurb and changed "polishing her/your beloved artillery pieces" to "polishing the guns of her private skimship", just to make it different from the Spartans. A few minor similarities with the Spartans remain, but I don't think it will matter. They are former Spartans, anyway.

A question: The base names western front, etc, may be inconvenient if the western one ends up in the east, etc. Is this ok by you? I know I wouldn't like it if I played this faction.

Proof of the Union. I hope that I have proofed the right versions, by the way.

The faction leader was coded as female, so I changed some him:s to her:s

I'm unsure about the blurb source, so I'll ask all English-speaking forumists: Does art. 1 of Constitution's Act - Union's Treaties sound real to you?

Of course, if anyone wants to read through these .txt-files and offer help it is very welcome.

Is that supposed to be a written or spoken quote? Seems wrong to put abbreviations in speech when no one talks that way, and it tends to slow down the reading even in written text, as the reader has to stop and mentally translate.

It's a jawbreaker, even with "article" spelled out; needs rephrasing.

Rymdolov · « **Reply #220 on:** July 19, 2013, 07:28:44 PM »

It's the source of the qutoe. Like this:

^ The Senate of the free and independent cities of the planet,
where members are nominated by citizens, is the primary organ
representing the will of the United Confederation.
^
^ -- Supreme Minister Clessidra Johnson,
^ "art. 1 of Constitution's Act - Union's Treaties"

I thought that the code tag would be good for this, but turns out it makes the text unreadable (though easily copied). I'll repost the proofs so that anyone interested can have a look.

wait, i'm revisionig my custom factions with more accurated graphics and more customized txts. now it's too hot here to stay on pc but in this autumn i think we can have more interesting materials to discussing on it. i'm going to post the results meanwhile anyone can say me how long the base name must be?? for example i can named a base 'marquesate of Thor II of the Kaliban Home' ??

The maximum characters for a base name is twenty four. Anything longer then that will be clipped.
