Topic: Creature Making Resources

[Oviraptor]

I suggest organizing the links by similarity, usefulness, and/or into an alphanumerical order. Might make it easier to use.

[Brandonazz]

I was considering that.

I'm going to organize them by their purpose.

Such as:
Making Your Creature
Modeling and Architecture
Culture and Sciences

EDIT:  Done.

[Oviraptor]

To make it even clearer, maybe you should do something like this:

Creating Your Creature

• Subject Ideas for Creature Drawings
  
• Creature Part Ideas
  
• Creature Editor 3.0
  
• Creature Coloring in Photoshop Tutorial
  
• The Associated Artists (Request)

Creating Their Planet

• Planet Feature Generator
  
• Planet Information Generator
  
• Gimp Planet Making Tutorial
  
• Photoshop Planet Making Tutorial
  
• Astrosythesis 2.0 (For Planet Terrain Generation)
  
• Bryce 5.5 (Terrain & Model Rendering)

Architecture & Ships

• Google Sketchup (Modeling Ships and Structures)
  
• Endorphin (Modeling Ships and Physics)
  
• Bryce 5.5 (Terrain & Model Rendering)

Creating Their Culture

Makes it even easier to read, I think.

I wanted to do that but had no idea how

[The Time Traveller]

Add "Crappy MS Paint".  That is my resources.

[Snake]

Take out anything with ties to Earth. Islamic republic for instance.

[gec05]

We need to narrow it down to the bare and core basics.

[The Time Traveller]

I don't know what creature is going to use this, probably my second one, but I plan on making a Darwinary Government.  Basically, the strongest rule, the average are ruled by the strongest, and the weakest are used as a food source for both.

[Brandonazz]

Perhaps we should make a democracy meter.

0=Totalitarian Dictatorship 5=Federal Republic 10=Pure Democracy

This of course would leave the type of government to be determined...

Here's a simplified list.

-Dictatorship/Despotism (Communicants)
Complete rule by one or more people, generally through military power.
-Democracy (Athens)
Rule by every person together. Subgroups of society may be excluded.
-Republic (U.S.A)
Election of more than one person to determine politics. May lead to Electoral dictatorship.
-Theocracy (K'jal)
Rule by priests or Gods as per interperetations of priests, unless a false God is ruling.-Monarchy
-Agricracy (Suntus)
Rule based on power over agriculture.
-Electoral Dictatorship (Tal'po)
One or more complete rulers is elected for a limited period of time.

Then you can make your own icon for that. I'm not making that many of them.

[Kcronos]

I really hate you at the moment Brandon 

I also purveyed the list.  But wanting a simple system, I chose the core basics.  A dictator and a despot is about the same.

[Brandonazz]

Any additions to the simlified list?
