I'm pretty sure that when approval gets REALLY low there is a chance that a planet will rebel, not to another civ, but to form a new minor race. Not that I've ever tried it. I guess I'll test it now while I wait impatiently for v1.3. EDIT: Apparently not.
You can use the alignments to set up three distinct tech trees. Then have three civs starting as Good/Neutral/Evil. Put Xeno ethics at the start of the tech tree, so that it has to be researched before anything else, and give it a cost of 1RP, forcing everyone to research it immediately. They should pick the alignment they started with. Then, just use the tag on any techs you want to restrict to whichever race/alignment. This does restrict you to only three trees, b
It was probably a smart decision for him, since I'm sure I can't be the only one planning to murder somebody and nick their ticket.
Terrans should be neutral though, shouldn't they?
The difficulty isn't programming, it's making it easy to make your ships go where you want them.
What S1Genocide really seems to say is not that you aren't adding plenty of new stuff, but that you aren't adding the precise things that he happens to be asking for. Dark Avatar is miles above just a mod, or even just a normal expansion. As you say, most expansions I've ever bought just add more units, which really would be nothing more than a mod, just an official one.
No you shouln't, because your production spending should be at 100% all of the time.
You keep saying this. I'd love to see the reasoning behind this. Last I checked just because a house (parliment) or legislature (representative democracy) change party majorities doesn't mean the executive is automatically removed. In crazy countries like America, perhaps. In the UK, when a new party gets voted into power they get into p
What version are you running? v1.2 allowed the AI to get tech victories.

Was the planet they took one that you'd just flipped by influence? Perhaps the transport was already on the way to take it, and then when you flipped it the AI got confused, still thinking it was one of his opponents.
Yeah, it's a waste. Capitals don't take bonuses from bonus tiles (I guess it would give way too much of an advantage if they did).
It's a nice idea, but I think that the devs are more interested in gameplay improvements, AI upgrades and bug squashing than providing an in-game method of doing something that can already be done manually by visiting the library.
Wow... Sometimes the AI has trouble enough attacking unprotected transports that are on an adjacent square.
The prison riot is your own lookout for voting the galactic prison onto one of your own planets in the UP... As for the destroyed ship, that sounds like a bug with the latest beta.
I have two legal copies of this game Er... why?

It wasn't always as sensitive, but it was turned up in one of the updates because people would hide transports just outside of their perception range, then swoop in and take most of their empire in a single move. It still needs a bit of tweaking.

Yeah, the AI isn't too smart with these sorts of things sometimes...

Energy shields can't be bypassed by Directed Energy Weapons, or ANY weapons for that matter, only broken through. Has this been tested in some scientific experiment somewhere? Er... no, because it's all made up. Hence, if one particular sci-fi wants to say that part of the beam energy may get through then there really isn't anything to s

The simple reason is so that you can't build invincible ships. Otherwise, you'd get battles that would never end, if both side's attack values are less than the other's defences.
In what way does it penalise them? You can't go without either military or research, you have to do them both. If you build all factories or all labs you'll loose fast (apart from the slightly cheasy tactic of NLCs and focus...).
EVERYBODY MAKES SPELLING MISTAKES But not half as many as you. Just because you're on the internet, that doesn't give you an excuse to drop your standards. Besides which, it was the lack of paragraphs, spaces and capital letters that made your posts the most difficult to read. Any sufficiently thick armour will withstand an antimatter at
Could have been worse. They could have won.
Ethics is special I think, you can set a tech to have an ethical prerequisite (Good/Neutral/Evil), so you can only research it if you have chosen that alignment.
If English is indeed your first language, perhaps you should work on: 1. Capitalisation of I and the start of your sentances 2. Spelling and Grammar 3. Spaces at the start of a new sentance 4. Paragraphs Frankly, even if English was your second language, that's no excuse for 1, 3 or 4. If you do have a history degree, you must have done essays, and I can't believe you'd have passed writing like that. Until you do this, you'll have trouble with people not taking you serio
I hope for your sake that you did this with the latest 1.3 beta, because otherwise the miniturisation changes are going to completely muck up your ships...
