@dansiegel30: I suggest double checking your numbers, The communion shrine is better than the stadium, sure. But that's a 3 steps further up the research tree. For a long time your actually giving up morale compared to other races to get the influence adjacency modifier. The truth is that yes Altairan's morale building main benefits ARE influenced based compared to everyone else, not approval. I mean it doesn't help that approval is utterly irrelevant, getti

The Gaia Vortex is certainly nice and powerful though i'd say that it's no worse than a number of other player wonders. If the wiki is right the Iridium store is much nastier since you can have one per colony and it provides a global boost.

Also the have better adjacency benefits than basic factories/e.t.c. so you can use that if you get one of those monster colony layouts that lets you do that. About the only time i use them. In fact i barely use any resources TBH, the stuff they work for is either too weak or something that would have to be fairly umbigious in your build to be really worth it, and you just can't get enough of the resources for the most part for that.

Just ran a s[readsheet, with a top level factory and max adjacency benefits difference it runs to even till 54 pop. With basic factory you need 160 for a basic factory. However even with a basic factory the bonus drops below 20% by 20 pop, and below 10% at just after 30 pop, And that's assuming a base multipler to raw of 1000% with hive, so for basic factory';s it gets better even faster in reality. Like i said mainly a very early game thing, (first 50 turns or

Reply to When I Play With Anything Else Other than Thalan Tech I feel Bad About Myself in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Yes it's raw, but a soon as one factory's % times your pop exceeds the amount it gives it becomes much less impressive, and that point comes quickly. @Adamb: thats a completely fair point such as it is, but i don't generally see it as completely broken in that respect on it's own. It's nice, even powerful, but i don;t feel, (given the lower adjacency bonuses and no food bonus), it's any worse than the Iconians. And i don't think anyone

Honestly i don't get the problems with the Thalan tech tree above and beyond the part where anything that lets you fit more modules is broken in general right now.. Which isn't really an issue with the Thalan tech tree so much as a general meta problem. Sure the extra terraforming step is wonderful for flexibility and the hives are nice. But they don't come close to totally breaking things 4 production even early game is out done by a basic factory come 16 pop, and by later games

Why don't we all sit down and help the devs a little by talking about our perceived flaws with the tech trees? I'm pretty new and still getting a handle on things but i'll have a go at the Altarian's. The first issue as noted is their unique building. It appears it's designed to let them build mixed research and manufacturing setups. But it just doesn't compete because at the e

Reply to [eMOD] [LH 3.0] XtraDeconstruct: Legacy of Magic (18 January 2022) in LH Modding Elemental Forums

Okay another question. I know some mods have fixes for ports that mean you just have to have some part of the city bordering a river instead of the center, does your mod include something like that, (the list is so dammed long !!!)? And if it does, does it include an equivalent for lumber camps?

Ok question, according to the big list in the sticky your mod pack includes a wildlands wandering boss fix, what files do i need to separate out to get just that fix?

Reply to Some Mod and Modding questions in LH Modding Elemental Forums

Just to make sure i'm still clear, InternalName refers to the individual xml entries, within the file, not the file name? So if i wanted to edit any parameter within an item entry in the file CoreItems.xml i'd need to copy everything contained within that items tags at the top and bottom of it's entry? Also i know you've said a CoreAbilityEntry tag can't be edited, does that mean i can't add extra Tags to the entry thoug

[quote] ...and this is mainly why it's better to know the underlying program and syntax than to blindly "use a bat file" for data conversion. Anyway, the .bat file uses the program ConvertData_Rebellion.exe (or older ConvertData executables), which is located in your SoaSE base directory. It is a command line application, meaning if you run it manually, you must run it from command prompt. It's main syntax is ConvertData_Rebellion.exe <output

Been a while since i modded SoaSE and unfortunately my mass converter.bat files have gotten lost somewhere, can't find them at all. Could someone just remind me what the code for that was bat files that convert everything in their current folder? Also on that note, if a mod sees this, the modding tutorial thread needs an update/cull as it's all links which are all broken by the users site being shut down.
