[quote who="MabusAltarn" reply="1080" id="3516549"] This confirms what I suspected. The AI will always build the "best" structure if it has the choice. Again, they didn't build a single factory and I suspect why. Maintenance. The Factory has 6 mp for 3 bc. The Basic Collective has 5 mp for 1 bc so in mp/cost terms it's superior. It seems the AI takes this into account when picking improvements. [/quote] I'm afraid this is both not true. B
Hello, you're asking alot of questions but I give it a try. First off, this game is totally different than MoO2 in many ways, so you basically have to learn alot. [quote]1.) The button at the bottom left has sliders for military/social/research. These affect my entire civilization. What are my options to instead control this for individual planets? It's very frustrating to not be able to optimize each planet's production. I know about
Unzip the Community Update-folder into the mods-directory of the games installation-folder, on my drive the path looks like this: C:\Program Files\Kalypso\GalCiv2Ultimate\Twilight\mods (if "mods" is not present create it manually) Start the game, go to Options and check "use mods" and select the Community Update as path. Kill the game, go to your MyGames-folder and delete all raceconfigxml files. Restart. Should be working fine then. PS: You don
[quote who="MabusAltarn" reply="1067" id="3516291"] Non-Generics have about 15% mining. Imagine grabbing all of it and getting up to 50%, that's madness. Especially since unique factory tech is more powerful/cheaper/etc. [/quote] Please read my post again, as I've edited it in the time you've written this (I saw you already gave the info so I saw no need to repeat it) Well, if you don't count in the initial one generic have +20% mining, so combined we
[quote who="leiavoia" reply="1065" id="3516288"] It took me a while to figure out the mining starbase module issue. I'm sure other players might experience this as well. Is there a way to make these techs untradeable to non-generic-tech civs or otherwise hide them? [/quote] No, either untradeable to all or tradeable to all.

[quote who="MabusAltarn" reply="1062" id="3516275"] This is completely intentional. You don't get access to Basic Space Construction when playing the Yor which unlocks the prerequisite modules required to build the starbase modules unlocked by Xeno Industrial theory, etc. The reason for this is that races that get unique industrial technology get unique starbase modules solely used by them and no one else can get them. Unique industrial tech tends to be more powerful and if you
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="1050" id="3516107"] Changes: (not tested) Torian and Iconian colony management improved so that they keep building improvements. [/quote] Tested & confirmed. Torians at 250 colonies have a starport everywhere and the only planets without a social queue are already outbuilt or show a single empty tile (probably from terraforming). Well done :)

A single +60 Influence is all that they can attach to their starbases. In my tests I haven't been able to flip a single planet via starbases using this, even when I picked all available influence-

[quote who="OShee" reply="989" id="3514170"] From what I can tell, Thalan got a lot more +SP/MP and +Research in their tech tree. Previously, they had no bonuses on their version of Planetary Improvements other then 10 economy, and no Military Production on their Space weapons/Militarization. No +Research from Hyper Mainframes and only 5 from Remedial Engineering. Overall they gained most - 10 SP, 40 MP, 20 Research. Others like Drengin or Korath also got more bonuses in their tree, but
This is how Thalans wreck their own game: (Medium abundant 65 turns, normal speed vs 5 AI) This is the day when Thalans finished research on tier1 facs. So far they can sustian their production even with espionage (without espionage 100% would be possible). They have ~800bcs in storage. After this week they build facs and research tier1 labs. After 3 months the rapidly increased maintena

[quote who="OShee" reply="984" id="3514082"] Just make custom races worth 100 points, down from 150. Same issue happens with Torian - you can mimick all their stats with 15 extra Luck and still have 90 points left for spending, [/quote] Then there is absolutely no reason to make a Costum Race anymore. Custom Races only get the smallest amount of logistics and no other stats, so having more distribution points is justified - and it makes sense because it gives a player
I find that the Thalan racial penalties are too strong. Actually a CustomRace using the ThalanTree is stronger, and this shouldn't happen. According to Kryo the StockRaces are designed to be stronger than CustomRaces. The Thalan stats (including bonuses from techs & political party but without spending their distribution points) are: -35 Popgrowth +43 MP +33 SP +20 RP -30 Diplo +1 Sensors +40 Loyalty <

Starbase-repair simply gives you a fixed amount of HP every turn, in our case it's 1 HP. The % shown is a bug. Simply exchange it with HP then everything is right. Racial repair gives you a random amount of HP, the range fro

If I make 2 or 3 MSB of this kind I could basically insta-repair even large hulls within 1 turn and if I get to lure foreign enemies into this array and defeat them lossless with a strong fleet, this fleet would be able to continuue in this forever because the array wil
