I the other day designed a ship with insane speed, (29)pc a turn) well for the first few turns it worked fine but then all the sudden my ships now move 3 pc a turn. does this have something to do with the survey module or some bug?
I intend on releasing some mods in the future .changes, would be to improvments tech tree and abilities,also i would like to create some events that trigger if possible. My question for today is ,what can I change of the game freely ,that the AI will actually use ,if I make something new? for example if I change or create a new tech. how far can i go and the computer will recognize as something beneficial enough to build or research. Is there A way to "tell "the AI to research or
true enough, superdiplomat probably is more effective. furthermore i usually play on tough or higher diff settings and set my opponents cpu usage to 100% so maybe thats why they abuse more than drath .also drath seems to have horrid diplo skill. but either way. the main drive of this post is that bribing to war is just too darn cheap not to use every single game. so I would like to get a concensus here from people whether they agree the (Cost To Bribe War is Too Cheap Compared To The Cost Of War
firstly I do not complain when things work as intended. but this ability does not balance. furthermore only my custom races abuse it, the drath on the other hand do horribly with it. secondly who are you to defend that which even yourself cannot explain . go troll posts somewhere like the barbie website where you will fit in . nuff said??!! back to my original post now. this is an exploit that i use often and it is not at all balanced. the cost of paying someone to wage wa
ok so I been playing gigantic maps with max races, i use all custom races ,these i have found off the "library " from this website. i have found that the custom races with the super manipulator ability seem to cause a bit too much chaos for my liking. most of the time by the 2nd year they have managed to pay about 6 races to war on me and everyone else. so i want to change this , Is it possible to simply change the values for that one super ability so that it does
when i looked at the shodan customrace xml file it lists the logo filemane as shodan_logo3 but in my dark avatar gfx file it lists the shodan logo as shodan_logo8 so i just changed it to shodan_logo8 in the xml file and it works now. so i am not sure whether this is my bad or i downloaded it that way
Actually I have about 15 different customraces and the shodan is the only one that this happens to
as you can see ,other planets do appear as icons yet the shodan planets do not. even at max zoom. how do i fix this
ok this is really just a sort of inconvenience but, when i have the map all the way zoomed out all planets appear as icons , but the custom race shodan from the library that i downloaded actually does not, its planets that are colonizied only appear as small images of planets . even at maximum zoom . what causes this and how can i fix it. . only this one race appears this way.
For me . increasing the size of my pagefile to 4096 which is 4 gig seemed to solve all errors i have had.
could someone please list some of the things that can be altered. I do know about tech tree,anomolies,races,ships,components,graphics.
I have A few Ideas for some changes to dark avatar. #1 I would like to have events that are triggered, what i mean is that certain paremiters would need to be met before occurence. A few examples would be. :the universal population reaches a certain point and A new race appears.this race would not be trying to win or colonize ,but its goal is to invade planets. upon success, the planet is destroyed completely thereby spawning a new (we will call it a locust ship)enemy un
Do a little research and you will see that all religion is simply based on differennt astronomical configurations. for example on december 25th the north star and (the three kings) which is a set of three stars! all line up in the sky and point to where the sun rises . there is a point where the sun stops rising in a location east of the previous day and seems to rise in the same spot for three days. which is where the ressurection comes from after three days .almost every religion has the same
Ok I was wondering, I own Celestia( free planetarium software) and It is heavily modded at the moment with tons of planet,asteroid and star textures,(not to mention nebulae, black holes ,and comets)I noticed that the planets in galactic civilizations are basically the same kind of models and textures. is it possible for me to swap or just add some more planet textures to the game with my existing ones from celestia. if so do i need to resize them to a certain size and where would i locate the fi
Here is a solution I use to prevent being wazrred into oblivion. firstly and most importantly always be aware of your relations. if you see that people are hostile to you it is time to act. first thing . you should always be researching diplomacy tech line and you will see why . with a greater diplomacy than your enemies you can negotiate better, you would be suprised how little cash you need to pay to simply pay one race that is hostile to you to attack another race that is near it an
Ok I usually play on the challenging difficulty setting ,while the computer seems to have a grasp on its micromanagment of colony improvments, it does not have the slightest clue how to manage its economic growth,often i notice that the computer uses leases(never have I found that to be cost effective)to buy factories,colony and other ships in its mad dash to colonize planets. This literally cripples it 2/3 times for almost a whole year. Why does the A.I only judge me on my alignment/mi
ahhh thanks
i recently downloaded the 3 add ons for ship components created by general pants. in their readme the instructions for instalation say to simply extract to my favorite mods folder. which confuses me. do i have to add these files to an existing mod or can i use them standalone somehow. where do i extract them to excactly and do i need to create a subfolder or anything?i tried to just put them in the mods folder and they do not appear in the list to activate mods, in my in game options . and
yes version 021 sorry
the new update is now available on stardock
actually beakers can be converted into hammers and vice versa depending on what you chose for a planet to specialice in . if you choose social or military production then any beakers from that planet get converted into hammers at the cost of 1bc each unit. so in essence. yes they can be used for either
the three sliders that modify spending on social \military\and research are how much of your total beakers and hammers you allocate to any of the above fields :IE 33% military/33%social/33%research. when set this way each of those 3 will get 1\3 of the total of your beakers and hammers you produced on your planets . Additionally . those 3 sliders have absolutley no bearing on how efficiently your research/military/ or social production is advancing it simply divides the total resource
The percentage you all speak of is not the percent of the research/social/or military production at all. it is the amount of your produced beakers and hammers that you are allocating to your chosen research,social or military capacity, that is why you can not put 100% in 2 different production fields there is never more than 100% of some amount. 100% is all of something
Seems Like lately My Games Always Evolve the same way .I almost always end up researching the same techs .I almost always End up with the same ship build(cosmetic additions not withstanding)I research the least common weapon and defense to make my ships more effective.I add to my planets in the same way. What I would like to see are some cool enviormental things to happen here are a few examples #1 Supernovae . Every so often A whole system goes Boooom! and its home star explodes.(thi
Recently I played A Gigantic map with 9 races and minor races . I had numerous ships which were being outdated so I decided to sell them off to another race ,possible for some techs or some money. well when I presented the option to a race the Drath I decided to see if i could get any planets for my ships. Amazingly one after the other I could select every planet the race had for just 6 ships In essence I got rid of my outdated ships and gained controll of all the drath planets thereby eliminat
