I had to download the full 85mb thing. The upside of that is metaverse submissions work for me now, or at least one did tonight. The bug where multiple AIs can build the same GA or tradegood still exists though. olaf
As of the latest version, the problem where multiple AIs can build the same GA or tradegood still exists. Also, I saw 'String not found' on a number of text entries in game. olaf
Well something changed with regards to how the AIs trade and value technology. Prior to patch, playing on sub-normal and normal, it was easy to trade techs with AIs. Now, its very difficult to the point of not being a good idea. Tech for tech trades they like 3 for 1, prior to patch it was 2 for 1 worst case. Tech for cash, they will not give me even half as much as they were giving out prior to this patch. olaf
The 1.01A patch made this strategy completely untenable. It needed some tweaking, but the patch went overboard. Even on sub-normal, AIs value your tech at basement prices but put a premium on their own. They also seem to trade them around with each other much more frequently now. It makes for a vastly more difficult game. I am in the dark on how to win even on subnormal now, whereas prior to the patch a victory on normal was very possible. olaf
I got the update installed and running. It seems like the trade/tech AI adjustment was overboard. Playing on normal AI levels, the AI now values their techs bigtime when dealing with the me. They want like 3 of my techs for one of theirs. Kind of ridiculous, but they seem to be trading them around more with each other... olaf
Thanks I will check into that. olaf
It doesnt work for a lot of people, and apparently, even when it does work there is no feedback. olaf
Which is 12 turns. Damn no edit. olaf
12 months. olaf
Yeah I have seen this too. Its the honor system, you are supposed to take it out of your queue yourself. olaf
Yeah being able to see what the improvements did from this screen would be a big help. Also, is there a way to use a governor, but then not have it override stuff I manually order to be built? For instance, when I get access to new wonders/achievements/trade goods, I want them built ASAP. So I tell a planet to build them. But if its on a governor, it reverts to the stuff in the queue next turn. :( olaf
How do you tell if the bonus pack is installed? olaf
:( No powerleveling board titles. olaf

Well, a printed version would have been nice, as would a more detailed manual and a tutorial scenario. But, the game still rocks and there is great online docs/info around. olaf
Yeah those would all be nice to have. Its getting hard to follow stuff if you miss a day. olaf
I think its a great game. Buy it, and if you like it tell all your game playing pals to buy it. olaf

Autoscout ability for ships. Adjust the impact population has on morale. Its out of whack. olaf
Propaganda helps. But yeah, the whole population/morale thing really sucks. Why dont my people stop having babies, christ! The population growth in this game is astounding. The UP must have outlawed birth control in one the sessions I missed. olaf
Heh maybe the metaverse isnt taking his submissions? It isnt taking mine. Not that I have won, or even played a game vs intelligent AI. Anyway, I do this tactic in my games. I pretty much have to to make ends meet. Without coin coming in from tech sales, I cant tax anywhere near the rate I need to have my spending slider near 100%, because of population/morale issues. olaf
Where is that strat guide you are referring to? olaf
What is the difference between these files and the manual that came in the retail box? olaf
I totally agree. The way the economy works, and especially population and morale (needs patching IMO), are not readily apparent to new players and the lack of a tutorial scenario doesnt help that learning curve. olaf
Still not working for me. olaf
This needs to be a feature included in a patch, autoscout that is. olaf
