Another easy-to-fix issue:

In the Slaver's research improvement line, the first two (Research Chamber and Stockade) give +2.5% to Research per level. But the next three (Research Motivator, Extractor and Amplifier) give only +1% to Research per level.

This doesn't make sense at all and I assume it is a copy-paste error. They should all give +2.5% to Research per level, that's the way it is in all other improvement lines.

Glad you guys are liking it!

Not an issue on the same level of importance as most of what's been posted or worked on so far, but the balance for the original release campaigns feels somewhat broken with Intrigue's release (my wife and I attempted to replay from the start of the story when Intrigue hit and ended up holding off until it could hopefully be reworked).

The combination of the production wheel of yore with the tax slider from Intrigue and none of the mechanics (that we got to) from Crusade feels like a very strange place to play (for example, going 100% industrial/research early on (for those first buildings/techs) while having tax rate at 0% gives you full production as well as a sizeable morale boost at no cost).

When things have settled down with more important patch issues, we're hoping that the campaigns can be rebalanced to work with the expansions as well (death to the production wheel! *coughs* ahem), but in the meantime, wanted to raise the issue so that it's in the queue.

Thanks for all the hard work so far, and looking forward to seeing more things continue to get ironed out

The Aurorus shipyard mission menu label is "AurorusMission_Name".

Also, it would be a HUGE quality of life improvement if you would please add the missions as options to the shipyard command sub-menu in the Govern Civilization screen.  Individually keeping the idle shipyards busy when they aren't building ships is horribly tedious.

Fixed last patch.

Colony Module costs 23 Maintenance, looks like some one pressed 2 and 3 by accident. Well it will cost 23 when ship component maintenance gets fixed as someone else has already pointed out it does not work with OnTime but needs to be Flat.

I have this fixed my end, it does have some large impact on economy, since ships from 3.0 untill now, have cost very little to nothing. I know tourism was reduced pre 3.0 release and would not have been so bad if people had realised ships were not costing what they should have been. If you do need to adjust the economy again to compensate (I think you probably will tbh) Trade routes could do with a look at before Tourism .

AI does not use tourism improvments at all and is not benefiting from the new economy like it should be.

Promethion Refinery does not give the +5 Promethion listed with the planet trait. In DLC4_PlanetTraitDefs.xml the target type for it is
<TargetType>Planet</TargetType> when it should be Faction.

Thulium Moon and Durantium Cloud have lost the bonus resources they used to give like Promethion Refinery.

Devout Influence improvements still have pre 3.0 influence bonuses, they effectivly give less than the Market Center and should be equal or better than the default ones (used the internal names) :-

• KrynnConsulate - 0.2 (Colony unique)
• KrynniacTemple - 1%
• KrynniacMission upgrades from KrynniacTemple - 0.2
• KrynniacOrder upgrades from KrynniacMission - 1%
• KrynniacOracle - 1% (Colony unique)

The 2 wonders, KrynniacMinistry (15%) and KrynniacSanctuary (25%) seem a bit low for wonders to me.

I think tourism might be broken.  Or maybe I don't understand how it works.  I built a couple of ports and it changed my weekly income from -650 to +400,000 a week.  I built a couple more and now I'm getting -419,000 per week.  All building happened before I clicked "Turn"  See screenshot.

AI is still always building a starbase next to their bazaar.

All fixed, thanks!

Fixed, thanks.

If I use the opt in but my opponent on multiplayer don't deos that affect my ability to use multiplayer.

Multiplayer requires the data on the 2 computers to match. You aren't playing on a hosted server (on one computer), everything is playing a separate copy of the game on their own computer and syncing actions between them. That doesn't work if the data is different (ie: you get a message that your opponent built a ship that your copy of the game has never heard of).

You can't play multiplayer if someone is in the optin and someone else isn't. But you can switch back to the normal branch at anytime to play MP.

I wish we had a better solution for having to match DLC. By the time you choose a multiplayer game all the data is loaded so it's to late. I hate to have it automatically disable DLC (because people often miss that and won't understand why a month later their DLC isn't working), but I know that doing it manually is a pain. Ideally we would have a screen in game to enable, disable and sync DLC. But we don't have anything like that on the schedule.
