Can a multiplayer faction be Revived?
« on: April 30, 2022, 05:14:42 PM »
Is it possible to revive multiplayer factions by modding?
Within the code, what disappears when a player Dies and what is required for that code to live again later in the Game?

If they have to have a city then can they be spawned on a city of an existing faction? Like a Peacekeeping town suddenly being replaced by a revived-Gaian one?

There is a configuration option at game start that allows eliminated faction to respawn.

Are you referring to the "Do or die: don't restart eliminated players" option? I don't know about multiplayer, but I seem to remember that in a single player game I was restarted after an early defeat. I believe that you are restarted on an unclaimed tile elsewhere on Planet, and receive a colony pod and few other units (a bit more than the vanilla start, but not a lot).

Once upon a time, in a multiplayer game, I freed Deedee from a human-played University 'sphere.
The good Provoost was livid I tell ya!  ;lol

As we approached we were confronted by the ruined splendor of Sparta Command. The true immensity of the place became instantly apparent as our Quantum Tank crunched over the rubble and parked next to a shattered bunker, but the extent of the destruction took weeks to assess. The shielded datacore had sustained several massive breaches and smoke still billowed from the numerous cannon ports. There were few signs of human life.
