Planetary Intimidation

Planetary Intimidation

That reminds me of Planetary Annihilation a good bit, unlike Planetary Legacy. Legacy sounds kinda good.

It's a really tricky thing, to be sure.

I'm also trying to think -- but having a really hard time -- of names that are something like "Don't Starve."  Those are a lot more catchy to me.  "Orcs Must Die" and so on.  They aren't nouns, they're declarations.  I like that sort of thing quite a bit, but it's hard to pull off.

Haha, that's really great.  But of course people seeing that out of context would REALLY get the wrong idea of the game.

Interesting words and phrases:

Allodium
fatherland
Life Support
governance

Survive the Fatherland
It Wants to Kill You

It's a terrible title, but it was the first thing I thought of when you said that.

[x4000]

Sure, it makes sense.

Maybe along the lines of [something] Contact, where the [something] would indicate the unexpectedness of the contact or just future spaciness in general? I can't think of anything that fits well there.

I was originally trying to think of referencing life alongside stronger and more established races with a pun on the Social Contract, but I couldn't get far there either (and it would probably put too much emphasis on a diplomatic route anyway).

[doctorfrog]

Maybe something alien-cultural, signifying the journey's start/end? The name of some cultural visionary? A cultural metaphor?

Lone is pretty cool, and Lone Colony doesn't have any real results.  But that does seem to imply there isn't anyone else there -- when in fact the planet is brimming with other races, AND you might have co-op allies, AND the planet itself is harassing you verbally.

Our Planet Is Annoying?
