taking planets

February 19, 2011 5:08:17 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

I'm trying to think of a way to conquer a planet without bombing it ...is it possible to give a capital ship an ability, so that when it enters an enemy system, the culture of the enemy planet starts dropping, so after about 10 minutes the enemy planet becomes neutral ?cause it would work great with a "blockade" ability and an "embargo" ability

Sounds like what the Advent super weapon does, Check out the 

"AbilityPsiOrbitalCannon" file & its buff file. You might be able to craft something similar to do what you want.

SuperZERO0 is right. You have to find some way to culturally flip the planet and the only thing that can do that (potentially) is the Advent Super Weapon.

Actually, you just need to use a passive ability to either cause the ship to spread your own culture, or to have it decrease the allegiance of enemy planets it's stationed in.

Download project equilibrium for an example. I made a change to the Advent's cultural assistance for that mod to spread a small amount of culture. You can also fire the culture bomb which is more fun. I do that in my Sins of the Fallen mod with the Plauge colony capital. Culture flipping will probably take a long time though and may still require you to having normal siege ships, though you could reduce the population kills to zero and only focus on planet health.

Also there is not a modifier to reduce allegiance, there is only a modifier to RestoreAllegiance for buffs.
