The colonization of space is the optimistic hopeful answer. You can stay on the Earth, but likely many issues will plague your descendants...even if they are not directly affected. The smart solution and still have freedom and natural rights, not weak civil rights based on kooky democracies by fickle mob rule, and being able to own land and create wealth...will happen on space colonies.

This might interest some of you. On this website is a database of all known exoplanets and categorized by size and type of star and how much radiation they receive. You can plot all Earth sized exoplanets which are those from 0.5 to 1.5 Earth's radius only and then it shows how many of them exist within pc (parsecs) relative to the Earth's galactic position.

A parsec is 3.26 light-years or 206,000 astronomical units or 19.2 trillion miles or 30.9 trillion kilometers.

A million years ago when I was a kid, I would be jumping up and down to see this kind of stuff. The first exoplanets were discovered in 1992, but was a huge disappointment because it was around a pulsar (neutron star). The first exoplanet around a star was discovered in 1995.

Anyways, this is for astronomy nerds.

The reason I was looking was I redownloaded unciv and I was trying to think of a way to update the terrain types with planets (it has very low quality png files for terrain so it runs fast even on the largest map).

I am seriously tempted to create a whole mod in unciv of my own design with races that would allow various types of combat as that is open ended with map editor support. You use github urls and unciv finds your mod and then players easily run mods for tech, buildings, units and is a Civ5 clone that is cross-platform so runs on practically anything.

You could have multiple solar systems on a map of many planets and fight 6 species and actually do a ground invasion or a starship or fighter plane or bomber or have tanks and infantry albeit with very simplistic unit icons. There is nothing fancy about unciv.

Right now people are making WW2 mods and that sort of thing, but the potential exists for space combat.

Here is an interesting web video on dark matter given by a pretty astronomy nerd and science writer Abigail Bollenbach. What a sweetheart.

They are unofficially called "guardians".

Cygnus X-1, the first black hole discovered in 1964, is actually bigger than astronomers presumed. Or maybe it has grown?

BotE doesn't have to be just about conquest, but if story elements are added and missions, then it could be about exploration and discovery in a magnificent galaxy. Generally you want to reward the players who do so. Then BotE isn't see alien smash alien.

What is a Neutron star?

BotE is so amazing as Magnetar actually can show up in the game as a hindrance to navigation.
http://birth-of-the-empires.de/wiki/ind ... tar_SGR.29
Stringtable.txt: A magnetar is a type of neutron star with an extremely powerful magnetic field, the decay of which powers the emission of copious amounts of high-energy electromagnetic radiation, particularly X-rays and gamma rays.

Ingame Impact:

High risk of permanent engine failure,
shield damages and imminent hull breach,
disrupts scanners,
obscures sensor readings in surrounding sectors,
total loss of crew experience
