[quote who="soase-maelstrom" reply="1058" id="3020316"]I like your idea, it could be adsorbed into another ability and not as a separate ability. Also have you thought about increasing the resource drain further when the dread becomes a super-dread?[/quote] The super-dread upgrade could easily have it's own income penalty added to the buff files. Though, I have to say that adding an income penalty for every level up, that is, with each new ability, seems to be a bit much and essen

The AI doesn't move it's Home World unless it's starting one is lost; so they remain on the Dead Asteroid, which severely hampers their income flow and thus ability to colonize other planets and expand. Starting on a 'roid also mean the AI has an utter lack of logistic slots, so they do not build the research labs required for ice and volcanic planets.

Got this for Entrenchment, just wanted to say this is some of the most fun I've had in Sins for a long time; the AI responds very well to the mod in general. Only criticism so far is that the Skylark of Valeron seems a bit overpowered; I see the issue has been pointed out here though it's still present as of the latest Entrenchment version of Maelstrom.

[quote who="Cylon_Luvr" reply="225" id="3014769"]Lavo_2.... you're approach is from the standpoint of simply "playing against" the Cylons as an AI, rather than considering those who actually want to play as the Cylons. Wouldn't be very enjoyable playing as the Cylons if you're left with duplicate and "filler" ships that are prohibitively expensive.[/quote] No, I'm assuming that the Cylons do not need a "complete" fleet, in comparison to the stock races, in order to fun

The first is to simply put in duplicates of ships and simply change their frigateRoleType; this will give the AI the "number" of ships it needs while maintaining the smaller is better route. The second, while partially untested, is to put in "filler" ships which have the "unused" frigateRo

[quote who="Wrath89" reply="36" id="3008095"] Quoting Lavo_2, reply 35I tried this over ICO. Not sure if that makes a difference. I tried it on ICO. Both players instantly lose, no map is displayed, the only option is to quit.[/quote] That's... Odd. It worked perfectly fine for me... Perhaps the fact that it was a random-generated map, even if a custom/edited one, was the difference?
