Hi
I want to a few questions to ask about game set up, if anyone can help me, that will be much appreicated.
1) On the starting set up screen, it states that one can choose hwo fast tech rate grows, "very slow", "slow", "normal", etc. What is the actual differences, does anyone know. Is it only applicable to the AI players or does it affect me.
2) for custom race creations, the racial bonuses with political party affailations and the abilities points selection, i am a little confused.
suppose i pick the "federalists" party, and i get an economics +20
so now, on my abilites screen, if i allocate the max economics bonus to +30, does that all added up to an economics of +50 or does it remain at +30. like wise for other abilities
also for trade routes, if i choose the master level, that means i get an extra 3 routes at early start of the game, during game play, if i research "master trade" tech and get a +3 trade routes, don't i get a total of 6 trade routes because of my inital choices.
bascially do all my abilites added up for a particulr abiliteis of a race if one of my options for picking that ability gets me more than what is given to me in light of some other choice i have alrady made.
3) if i build my own non-mining economic starbase compare to a economic starbase which mines resources, what would be the differences in term of bonsus to the economy.
4) by having stellar cartography researched, how does that affect having "blind exploration" selected?
Thank you everyone
