There isn't a slider that dictates the frequency of occurrence for these. I recommended this to be put in when Frogboy asked what players wanted added, but it wasn't put in. I think it'd be a solid addition that would add customization value, but I'm just some random douche, so who knows :D

That's weird because I can't recall my PQ4 ever stopping before it hit 8. Apparently I just didn't notice, or terraformed it and it increased. That wiki is very handy. Thank you kitty. Here's a Pounce treat ;)

On my 2nd home system planet, I have 100% approval and super breeder going on it. But the population is frozen at 2.546 billion. I click turn, it doesn't change. My other planets increased and are full. This one is stuck there. How do I fix this? Or am I basically boned?

I have realized that in TA, when you're doing the initial colony rush, many times it's best to build nothing until the population gets to like 3 or 4 billion, that way the spending and maintenance costs are offset by the tax revenue. This wasn't as much of an issue in DL or DA, but in TA it's big. Also being Torians is great cuz you keep your approval at 100% and the population EXPLOOOOODES. It's frickin great. You fill your 8bil populations so damn fast and have lots of tasty tax reve

It also depends on how good or evil you are when you make the choice. For example, If you're extremely good, and you decide to do something bad, you move more on the slider than if you were neutral and did something bad.

Is trade more lucrative in larger sized galaxies? Because in the medium ones I play often, Trade is essentially useless except perhaps very early to balance out early losses before income streams manifest (which I rarely do because the production required to make these ships could go to other improvements or research) or for relations purposes (which at the obscene level I play at, everyone hates me all the time anyway, and even if they do like me, they can still make war with me at the drop of

[quote]Oh yeah, thats a great movie. I didnt remember that particular quote though.[/quote] To be fair, I can recite the whole thing from beginning to end heh. OT, but check this out. I did an obscene game, medium galaxy, 7 opponents. I was Krynn, and started with 700% and 100% industry tiles on my homeworld. AND I BLEW IT. ARRRRG. I got bogged down in a vicious fight with the thalans, and even though I had both treaties with the Korath, they declared war on me anyway

Each game I play has 1 race that is orders of magnitude stronger across the board in every category than any other race. This by itself isn't remarkable. It's the fact that they never seem to have any reasons as to why they are so far above the competition. The Korath do it a lot, most recently tonight. They had 4 planets (their HW and 2nd home, then 2 others of no particular magnificience). Zero galactic resources, yet their economy, military and research were literally equal to or great

No that's a different one. Jagged Knife affects all civs. There's a similar event called Fundamentalists or something that leaves evil empires cuz they're all moral and stuff. I had the Jagged Knife event go off last night. End game, 2 enemy civs left with 3 planets each. They each lose 1 to the JK, I lost 15. Needless to say, I loaded an autosave lol.

I think they had a plot with one of those involving Hillary Clinton. Someone tried to sneak a snuke in her snizz.
