[quote who="JinglyGoo" reply="367" id="3362108"]Are you suggesting that culture centers should act like trade ports or be as beneficial as TEC trade ports?[/quote] Main probelm is Advent trade network will always be inferior to TEC and Vasari ones (and guess what is the late game main income source..), and they don't have anything for compensation, and if you check the extraction increase, things get even worse, I don't see the reason why can't they have crystal extr incr

[quote who="Ryat" reply="1" id="3362127"]3. Generally only when needed.[/quote] well in singleplayer mode you can research more than what Ryat suggested.. Best things to grab are ship types, ice and volcanic colonization, increase of terran population, first two increases of resource extraction (I am sure someone will complaind many of these are not worth it, but I say especially in single player they do worth it..) and to be able to see incoming enemy ships.

[quote who="Timmaigh" reply="365" id="3362082"]BTW, by saying the culture is underrated, did you actually meant that it is not so worthless as people make it out to be? Cause it seems Turchany is going to disagree with you . I really cant say from my experience, as i tend to ignore it in SP, but if you meant it this way, it kinda supports my opinion that most players, even the Advent ones, cant really "appreciate" its benefits, as it gives less tangible results than economy or military, thus

@Timmaigh (stupid quoting didn't work well this time..) Itss a really good question, I noticed you get your own bonus if you researched it and your ally is the same race as you (and has culture of course), but i cant confirm it works with other races culture.. Never really tested it, with AI ally it is me who has culture on most enemy fronts as I try to defend the AI if possible as he can't really defend worlds well even with fully upgraded starbases.. I would say NO YOU

[quote who="Timmaigh" reply="359" id="3361789"]giving those to Advent?[/quote] well devs wanted every race to have unique cultural bonuses.. A slight economic increase would be good, like with every culture upgrade some allegiance increase, with 10-20% max at the end, or making the culture center increase trade income by xx percent (it would be a good idea if not only 1-5% increase..) The real problem is we can say anything, it would need so much

[/quote] too long to put the text in :D VASARI, the looong millennia journey, uber technology etc etc. They can be strong, but I guess they should need to worry about their numbers, I don't think they could afford any losses and this could be their weakness, keeping the armada together with minimal losses. But in the game they can easily rebuild, a strong economy paired with a fleet that can defeat 2-

[quote who="Timmaigh" reply="334" id="3361087"]I guess by the time high level Vorastra comes into action, more often than not the PvP game is pretty much underway, perhaps with some players beaten already and one team basically winning. Now if the VL player is on that winning team, he s winning anyway, vorastra or not. If he is on the losing team, the Vorastra is certainly not going to turn the tide of the game. Or are you saying you can go 1v2 or even more with high level Vorastra and win? I

Why do they think it is fair (the huge PM damage increase VS higher mitigation levels) when they only give tiny weapon upgrades to every other race? 5-5% with each research capping at 20-30%? Maybe they know something we don't and we are all wrong?

The reason you never played online for Advent is your fear of losing, not balance concerns. In short, you rather win than play for your race of choice, congrats. And btw, how can you know, you would get beaten against Vasari as Advent, when you never tried it yourself online? Would it not be wise to try it out before complaining? [/quote]
