New "Government" - Jihad

You heard me right, Jihad!!!

Jihad is defined as "an Arabic word that means "striving in the way of God." This striving can take a number of forms, including the daily inner struggle to be a better person. However, jihad is often used to refer to an armed struggle fought in defense of Islam."

With this in mind, a new government type should be used for Jihad:

* Suicide ships which crash into other ones
* Structure killers doing more damage than normal SK's
* Less XP for roid captures
* Higher Cov Op levels, less resistance to Cov Ops
* Slower construction / research times

Re: New "Government" - Jihad

I only agree if suicide ships are dirt cheap and target everything, so I can compose my entire fleet from them for comical and self defeating reasons.

New construction type - Mosque, raises cov ops stealth

Democratic planets should also get a bonus when attacking Jihadic planets, and whilst attakcking their.. ships (army) they can in fact choose to kill population instead (by accident ofc )

Re: New "Government" - Jihad

A religious government is a good idea. But it shouldn't point to any specific (and existing) religion. No need to introduce a new ship type.
- higher damage for SKs
- population 110% (more ?)
- trading with gal fund at 20%
- higher cov op, lower resistance
- research takes +10%
- A GC from a religious governement can only pick his minister among other religious governments

The only people who might benefit from that would be cov op planets. Because who builds SK's nowaday's anyway?
And what would happen if their weren't enogh religious goverments to fill the minister posts if the GC happened to be religious?

Re: New "Government" - Jihad

I think Theocracy is a better name for it. Jihad means struggle as you say, but struggle means struggle. A Theocracy is a system of government where the idea of a Jihad can be used as a reason for war.

Isn't war a struggle against evil (or axises of evil)?

Re: New "Government" - Jihad

I like the idea but with out the extra ships part.

Adding extra ships for people who take one branch of government would imbalance the whole system as would adding a 6th race.

The idea is great though, but perhaps not calling it Jihad :P Maybe something a little less specific. Theocracy is a good idea.

No. Wars tend to be over money, territory (which is money, heh), resources (oil, fishing, water), power, political or emotional (revenge, nationalism) and similar reasons.

Wars tend to involve killing people, with a number of exceptions like the Cod War. Wars tend to - despite best intentions or otherwise - involve killing people in new and horrible ways, and indeed are far more likely to perpetuate "evil" and suffering, prolonged misery, despair and usually economic degredation (for at least the loosing side(s)).

Unless you're a certain person in a certain white house, in which case War is all about making people all over the world happy, even if they do wear strage white rags as if they were going out of fashion :\.
