And you, sir, are a troll.

On-topic though, I am most definately with ashkelon. I am bugged to no end that all limbs in Spore move the same. every single leg is running the same bit of code: move left leg through walk cycle, them move right one. Switch for every new pair of legs. Single legs run walk cycle as left legs (as seen by the way a single foot points).

(I might have gotten left and right mixed up...)

There! That's how Spore calculates how everything with less than (10?) legs moves. The Polypod gaits just change the starting order of the leg pairs walk cycle.

This is nowhere near enough. As shown by the standalone Creature Creator's "running quadruped" gait (first 2 feet start cycle at same time, second 2 feet start cycle at same time) other patterns are viable within Spore's programming framework, such as Kangaroo hopping.

Rough Draft: Scrolls of Honor

1. There is great evil running rampant in this world. None can deny this fact.
2. War, opression, famine, genocide... just a few of the unspeakable crimes committed year after year...
3. We must stand against it, for both our sakes ant the sake of others.
4. We must eliminate those who threaten the peace and functioning of the galaxy.
5. Do not fear for your life, fear for the lives of others should you fail.
6. Your goal is to protect, not destroy. act aggordingly.
7. Do not kill those who are innocent, or you will be no better than your enemy.
8. The Grox are a race of unfeeling machines that hold the core in their iron fist.
9. They have crushed entire empires under the weight of their evil. Trilions have died by their hands.
10. We will prevail over them, and rid the galaxy of the danger they represent. What they hold in the center is of no worry to us.

I like Justice, though. That would also work. What do you think?

Name: Abomination

Philosophy: Hate. Their goal in life is to eliminate all other races, as they do not deserve to exist. Everyone but them is ugly, stupid, arrogant, or worse. They will show no mercy on these beasts.

Archaetype power: Haxxorz: Allows for one colony to break the "no buildings on T0 planets" rule. Recharge is 1 hr.

Reaction to new Empires: -70 to all empires. Resistant to social tools. Gains relationship points when you break "that stuffy, unfair Galactic Code"

GA Parts:

-Cyber eye: Increases targeting range of weapons
-Metal cap: Decreases damage by 50% with a small energy cost
-Footbot: Maxxes out speed and give Jump lvl3
-Robo Breather: Regain health (5 per sec) on T0 worlds

Can you guess who follows this Phlosophy?

Hey guys, Why don't we give maxis a specific list of everything they need to make for the Knight Archaetype

Every Space Philosophy has a:

Backround
Check!

Icon and Type Card
Check!

Superpower
Check!

Voice
Here's where the work starts. The Knight's voice needs to be unique. Perhaps gruff like the Warrior's, but lower pitched and not screaming. Urf galag urf atagag!

Philosophy
THEY DO NOT FOLLOW THE PHILOSOPHY OF FORCE! Perhaps something like "Honor" or "Justice". I've got a rough draft of "the scrolls of Honor", but I'd like to see what you guys come up with

Shopping Screen
Probably a combo of weapons and Rally call/ AOE repair, maybe Uber turret as well

Missions
Not GA missions. Ecologists, for example, will usually give you "collect plant/animal", "terraform" or "scan planet" missions. Perhaps Knighs would give "collect artifact", "Eradicate citizens", and "abduct sapient" missions...

Change Archaetype Mission
Most likely something like: $10,000,000 -- Defend 50 friends.

GA Mission
As discussed above. Diplomats have the Romeo/Juliet mission, Zealots have the Defend Priest mission. Perhaps something combat related, with defend goals? I realy have no idea here.

GA Parts
What everybody wants! See first post for suggestions.

Ta-da!

THE RESULTS!

1st Place: Zaaperlord!

2nd Place Thatcadmusguy!

3rd Place: mysticdragon159!

Honorable Mentions: Zargwargs, DerTypDaneben, iiiHuman

Thank you everyone, your prize comments will be distributed over the next week or so!

Still deciding... There's so many good entries!

I'll get back with the results later today!

Don't touch the plant editor... It's bad mojo. Glitchy plants can actually ruin your Spore game so much you need to re-install!

LAST DAY EVERYONE!

Error Report:

The parts Amphibitude (Broken animation, jaw moves, but not lips) Gobsterclaw/Handibles (no animation. Intentional?) Larveye (animates in palette) Coygamine (eye shows through when closed... I don't know if other eyes do this) Fleurbine (appears to be doubled... Intentional?) and Porcupain (no animation. Intentional?) possibly have animation errors...

Other than that, it's realy fun! Great work!

I personally prefer the Red Red Green Blue:

Increased Health
Increased Energy
+10 to relationships
Increased Spice

Or, Red Blue Green Red:

Increased Health
Faster Speed
+10 Relationship
Fewer Raids

Nice!

3 more days! Deadline is September 20th, for anyone reading this...

Unfortunately, the only way to make bomb objects explode is to have them picked up, "activating" them. Depending on the type of bomb, you have a certain amount of time before it explodes.

To answer your problem of getting a bomb to explode at a specific time, you can use act changes and an explosion effect, along with setting the target's HP to 0.

If you were thinking raining bombs on the captain, it's not realy possible right now. Try a mine-field or suicide bomber creatures instead...

Yes, I'm getting the same error. I know for a fact that the creations I'm looking for exist (I searched my own name, and several other terms), but nothing has come up...

Wow! Three entries while I was away! Added!

Thanks for entering

And thank you again to everyone who has entered so far!
