i eliminated the ship range bonus on huge maps and still have almost no trouble trading with all the other races

Well for one you are the yor that apperently makes all the races more likely to declare war other negative effects i usually encounter early game are shared borders and weaker military strength
there are a few i have a file that puts their extreme planet terraforming off to a side branch allowing them to actually use the higher levels of terraforming and i also changed the final tech in thier population growth tech to give 25% Goods and services bonus instead of 25% food which has no effect at all for the yor https://www.dropbox.com/s/38micxxm12tqj41/YorTechDefs.xml?dl=0</
the yor are clearly the good guys with thier advanced systems merely trying to defend the galaxy from the virus that is biological "life"
[quote who="erischild" reply="4" id="3512479"] I don't know about the Yor, but for what I have played so far, I really like the mechanism that puts the project behind my other build items. I use the projects as a default nothing-left-to-build place holder. Then I work fairly hard to keep a construction tech or two ahead of the curve and avoid that default. [/quote] personally for the yor i would like to be able to set something that says if my populatio
this could be something that will come in later once the ai learns how to make the best use of terraforming tiles
so ive been playing a game with the yor and we recently had our first UP session im currently at war with the drengin , the terrains, the alterians and the iridium. the only people im not at war with are the krynn and they trust me, they are the only race that voted not to make me the UP chair
i prefer the gc3 method as well i would like to see it rebalanced a bit for example have soil enhancement stay at one tile, no put in a second tech that does the same thing as soil enhancement but limited to 5 tiles then terraforming plant for 1 tile, and a second tech that does the same as terraforming tech for 4 tiles etc etc this i think would give us the willingness to use the terraforming early in the game without letting it become to overpowered in
[quote who="erischild" reply="22" id="3512669"] The first time, I would complain at you. If we are friends, I would forgive you, but I would get resentful. The second time, I would chew you out with emphasis. I might respond diplomatically or economically if I can. The third time, I would flat out warn you of military consequences. Fourth time, war is declared. I'm not putting up with it anymore. For one thing, you are probably
the point is if you limit races ability to join the UP by requiring some form of action from a member race [quote] Question: Why additional races that I wasn't previously aware of appear in the UP? Answer: Other races that were aware of said race, invited them. Question: Why aren't races known by Race B included in the UP? Answer: They haven't been invited or applied for inclusion in the UP.

what id really like is the declare war button to be moved to the bottom of the list rather then the top
after re-reading your post i like it i thought you were asking for research speed controls at first not just better controls for it 9
i have a rebuttal but am too tired to think right now in the morning
[quote who="NGC7000" reply="2" id="3512563"] and while I have a list of regrettable purchases (Daikatana? Spore?) [/quote] you know spore while being a bad game the concept is still good that game had so much potential but what we got was crap
gc2 did not do it on its own you still had to do the upgrades unless you built the super project that terraformed all tiles
[quote] Question: Why shouldn't their be two or more UP's Answer: This is a peaceful general agreement non-alliance between many races, if races want to create alliances on their own they can but it's not the UP. [/quote] Well we don't like your U.P. so we are going to make our own and we will call it the supreme rulers of the galaxy it's laws will be absolute and no laws of the inferior U.P
Actually it makes all construction obesolete as well as soon as you hit that 300% manuf bonus each point of manufacturing is worth more converted to wealth then it is when used as manufacturing. this means you should stop all cunstruction and just quick buy everything.
i dont mind engine speeds but in i believe mapsizedefs ( could be wrong since im at work) there is a series of lines for combatmods which atm serve only to increase ship range for larger maps which i removed i might play around with making that smaller

[quote who="Gilmoy" reply="1" id="3512412"] The deeper issue is: does such a planet beat an all-research specialist planet? i.e. is your civilization's upper bound +mp% bonus four times greater than your upper bound +rp% bonus? I think it can't be. So it still pays to specialize all 3 separately. [/quote] yes as soon as you hit a bonus of 300% manufacturing it becomes better to use projects with 100% focus on social production because it mul
[quote who="Seilore" reply="4" id="3512368"] Depending on the race you only can re-use the last tech for terraforming a couple times. [e digicons]:([/e] But that is the design of the game [/quote] you should be able to use it any number of times only limited by the quality of tile it should not have anything to do with what race your playing with
Also the last tech on the tech tree lets you upgrade all the tiles that are at the same level as soil enhancement
what if there were two tiers of U.P. rather then the possibility of multiple U.P's what i mean is we have the U.P which represents the whole galaxy then we have maybe the coalition of evilmongers or some such which would represent something like 3-5 races in an area. (these could be made up of races anywhere in the galaxy not specifically neighbors) they would be able to pass resolutions for their area of space but would not specifically be able to counter the resolu
they have said in the dev stream that they currently dont have plans for hotseat however if the community is very vocal about it they may revisit that decision
