I just renamed the RaceData class to EmpireData, as it seems more apropiate considering it doesn't hold any race data at all, but rather empire wide information such as relations and tech.


I very much like the naming you came up with. Using empire, race and player as separate concepts makes a lot of sense to me. In theory different empires could be using the same race.

I'm just thinking out loud here, but this is how I see the relationships between these concepts and how they might work in the context of a game:

  • A game contains one or more empires.
  • An empire has exactly one race.
  • A race can be used by one or more empires.
  • An empire has zero (AI-controlled or human-controlled, but idle), one or more players (cooperative online gameplay in large scale games).
  • A player can only belong to one empire at a time.


Crazy ideas I'm sure. Just had to get it out Smile

Excellent work.
