EVERY mission you start from scratch, having to research everything again! WTF?!?! I agree with this sentiment, almost completely...But then the Campaign would become too easy and the only way to compensate would be to make the dread lords even more powerfull. Where does it stop? To ease your mind: By assuming that we know the tech
"If its worth playing to death its worth Analysing to death" - anonymous Laudable sentiments Veblen. I've read a lot of your posts so I know that what what you wrote is not far off the mark. But dude writing in generalities is never going to sway people. Lets be specific about the AI weakness and the exploits. otherwise, well, it either sounds like a grudge, a whine...whatever. I'm going to be specific Its already been stated elsewhere, myself included, that the AI planet
Nice post Metaphase - When you going out kissing Babies and pinning ribbons and whatnot? I'll vote for ya!
OP -------10:30:05 PM Bump ---10:30 PM wow your a loser. I was going to answear this but now i am not. I think every one is missing the point here. According to this amazing bit of factfinding, We can now tell that Alfonse is a time traveller. I know, i know, its only 5 seconds, but with a bit of refinement...We might well have
Hmmm. I'm not averse to plenty of micromanagement, but i know that out there, in their teeming thousands will likely want to bludgeon you for the profanity of your Idea.... I like it though, It would make more sense once you reach at least star democracy, because it states that planets are getting increasingly more autonomous etc etc. Damn so much to say, but i'm getting kicked off the computer...Godamn housesharing sucks!
Hey its a free galaxy, chill! even though i have absolutely no idea what he's on about. Does he want his Mom? A home? What?
Give Richrf a while, i'm sure he'll come up with something very close to actuality (is that a word?).
Hey guys this is not really relevant to this post, but in Sandbox mode it can be a great asset. Overlapped economy starbases give a huge boost to production and research! But you can only fit 4 starbases per sector. The Bonuses stack! @P22 you are right that sometimes even if you do everything right something happens to mess you up in the campaigns, hey they're a reflection of life generally!
I've just started using stacked starbases in my latest game, wicked!! thanks for the heads up guys. In my latest game (Sandbox - large - Abundant - Masochistic) I'm way behind the other civs, militarily, but I've got Battlecruisers with nuff defences kicked out every few turns ( thanks again). It was a quiet galaxy for a long long long long long long long long time until the drengin got Picked on by all the races. They died in less than 5 months as everyone ha
They are all doing it, the arceans, the torians, the drath, yor, every one of those poor planet management AIs that we have. Only one [if they build all the capitals on one planet ] or two planets[ if they split the capitals up] per AI race is built properly, the rest suck really really badly. |The only reason they stay in the arms race is that the bonuses mean that they have wads and wads of cash with which to buy those fleets. And all that potential for production and research is wasted.
do production and research stack aswell?
Yup! well done p22, satisfying aint it? how about you gmjapan? Dread Lords campaign IS Fun! nuff said

Bump from me too, this is too important to ignore!
Me 33...
Wow, that's some crazy figures iztok. i don't think i've ever seen anything like it, and i'm nosy about my 'neighbours' too. stardock take a note of this! Also all 4 capitals are on the same planet - imagine if it used planets properly - one producing 2000 + research points, one with a production of 2000, and one doing the same economically?? then it would make more sense. BTW iztok - we already know the AI gets 200% bonus on everything at the masochistic level, its in the journals.
@gmjapan - Ive noticed the same thing, primarily the defence rating of the DLs is set to point defence, but they get the defence value on shields and armour. Its a bit of a bugger, but like i said earlier swarms of small fighters with a military starbase maxed out up to starbase projection will be the key to staying alive until you get the top tier weapons and ships. The DL start of with top of the Line attack and defensive techs, total majesty, the best farm, but no logistics. they s
@heroine4life are you keeping logs of your games and performing analysis regularly? If not then refrain from passing over meaningless percentages please, there's a good girl. As for v1.11 I do beleive that they would only be addressing part of the problem - less embassy building. Read the logs, i am not expecting much from it, but i will say that the save/load times have improved. wehey! Reaver - my strategy is okay, but i'm rarely at the top of the food chain. the drengin
Yup random events for me too, how could i have forgotten?
sorry for double post...oops
What happened? The game has become an exercise in building sandcastles. No more war. The new and 'improved' AIs no longer declare war. This has got have something to do wih that fear factor algorithm that has been introduced recently - "Aggressive AIs will think twice before going around conquering because they know the other civs will gang up on them" Great idea man, unfortunately it works too bloody well. The only wars i have seen in my last few sandbox games have been trivial. And

BTW - nice thoughts starlost, esp the ship assist idea.
Me want carriers too, but what would be the point without tactical combat?? all it would be is little missile analogues going up and down the screen in the combat visualisation gimmicky thing...Sounds great huh??
ditto meglobob - although an initial boost would help somewhat. 5000... going, going... gone...Bugger!
Go mistoffeles! Wade - you got off lightly man....
