I'm not sure if this is included in the game, but I'm hoping that we'll be able to create customized OBJECTS for our creatures. What I mean is like - if you create a more "human-like" race, you could give them spears and such, but then once they got more advanced, you could create for them cars, bombs, etc. that could help you develop your nation/dominate others. Just some food for thought.

I thought I saw something about giving them spears in the article....
*Digs around*
Ahh, here we are:

There it says he bought the weapons, but here it says he built the drum....

So which is it :blink:

Anyway I get what you mean Ace. It would be wicked if you could totally customize weapons etc. like you can the creatures. A car would be really neat...get the creatures to make a wheel and see how far the wheel takes them or make them live without it and see how big of a difference it makes :P

Perhaps a bit of both? ;) Customization AND pre-made objects?

And wouldn't that be cool - start them off with the wheel and have them slowly evolve it into cars...soon they'd invent trains and rockets and everything else inbetween!

I'd love to see a civilization get by without any wheel or fire. :lol: I wonder how far they will actually go or if they are just destined to discover both those things and the power of them....

Hmm....I think it was destiny that those were discovered.... :P

If not, those civilizations would still be stuck in the Stone Ages.

from the article i just read it seems like you have a base object that you can costomeize to fit your style.

I think you might be able to choose what weapon you can give them, because on a review on gamespy I believe, it said that when Will came in contact with teh other race of creatures with his UFO they were four legged creatures that carried "tridents". so my guess is that theres probly a list of weapons you can offer your creatures.

I think so too ;)

Giving them premade objects is a possibility but I think that shaping your own objects and weapons will be included. I mean, that was only a demonstration of what spore is like. It's gotta get better. :D

I think I distinctly remember seeing somewhere in some article that you could edit objects as well as creatures in the editor.

I've watched the GDC demo myself and you can buy materials and objects for your creatures in tribal mode, these objects can be built by yourself or imported from other players to suit your tastes.

The customisation of objects, buildings, vehicles and weapons runs from the tribal phase until the space stage.

I think car bombs are too specific.

I saw something somewhere where i found a thing where it mabye said yes it should pans and fires :)

Also, it would be cool to create fleets of fully customizable ships and be able to build teleportation sytems....also let the fleets have lightspeed like Star Wars and a slipspace like Halo

he meant cars AND bombs, not car bombs...

:lol: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :lol:

car bombs...that would be great! lol :P
I know what you mean though, Cars AND Bombs will both be available is my guess. *sighs*

yeah, but he still said that, you get to create weapons, buildings, creatures(duh), and plants...so yeah, you can make pretty much anythin you want...
