[quote who="Mankarr" reply="55" id="2956174"]Hello, just want to throw in my appreciation for this mod! I just want to point out something in your RaceConfigs.xml file for v1.1 that I think was a small mistake. The Korath have two entries for super abilities and no entry for AI personality. It looks like you just replaced the entire tag for AIPersonality with SuperAbility 1 and still left the old SuperAbility 10 entry further down the list. Looki

[quote who="petergandalf" reply="52" id="2947090"]Thank you for working so hard on this mod and explaining it so well here. After more than a year of not playing, I decided to try again with your mod. Early in the game (so far) I have found Altairian and minor races with scout ships just piling up at the planets where they were made. I wonder if 1) I did not get the mod installed properly, since these races should be exploring? 2) This is a known&n

Sorry folks. I've had pretty much zero time to move on this in the past month. Between yard work, getting the garden going, fixing two cars, various other spring/summer projects, moving to get new A/C and furnace, extra time at work, and trying to actually spend a little time with family . . . I've been happy just to get a little time at the end of the day to do nothing at all. I have no intention of letting this fall into the Pit of Abandoned AARs,

*Zombie Tolmekian rises* Yeah, I know I'm taking a long time, but life is running away from me. Perhaps the zombification has something to do with that . . . On life support.

Certainly. Feel free to get involved any way you like. You can suggest names off the ballot if you want. Just send them up on the game thread and I'll work them in.

Unfortunately, the "pop-up" minor races can't be modded. Well, you can get at the file where the names are listed and put whatever you want there, but you can't change their stats at all. I had a great time with MOOII and always wanted to put those races in somewhere. In fact, during my playtesting I used all MOOII custom races instead of the stock majors. Made the game more fun. :)

Honestly, things are going slowly. I've done a number of fixes and tweaks, but my greatest effort is going toward bolstering the evil races. Well, I standardized the weapons techs, too. That was a big job. I'm kind of on hiatus right now. After all the effort put into getting v1.1 up and running I'm fighting off burn-out. I've also been very busy lately. With summer coming I'm looking at yard work, landscaping, painting, an

Yes, safe to call it. Sorry, but I've been quite busy lately. I'll post the results and get playing ASAP.

Hmmm . . . I'm not sure what might be the problem. I vaguely recall having the same problem once, but I can't remember what the issue might be. Oh, I remember. It happened when I broke a race's tech tree then tried to play as that race. I don't know why it would be happening for you while using v1.1.

[quote who="MarvinKosh" reply="147" id="2926482"]Looks like I will need to take another look at the Torian tech tree, they seem reluctant to research Interstellar Construction for whatever reason (so they're going to war with piddly tiny hull fighters). It's probably because it costs five times more than for other races so I will need to either break it up like with Planetary Improvements, add a pretty heavy AI modifier, or revise the tech cost downwards.[/quote] It'

Alright, will post the ballot ASAP. My computer power supply burned out on Sunday and I've been busy dealing with that and other things. Hopefully tonight. Thanks for patience and can't wait to get on with the next quarter!

So, I finally had a planet defect to the I League while running a test game. One of the Krynn's worlds had the low-morale sad face and eventually split off. Thing is, there was no I League in the game. I was controlling a minor race to watch the majors develop, and the planet defected to me! Is this what normally happens?

Yeah, sorry that I haven't pushed it forward. I was just going to reply to your concerns and give notice that the ballot will be posted. I've been a bit concerned myself about the lack of response. After Noctilucus posted his response, I was wondering if everyone else just figured "yeah, that sums it up." or what. Now that things are finally reaching the boiling point, it would be a bit sad if participation stayed dropped off. I'll keep on pla

I've never seen the I-League pop up in GalCiv2. In GalCiv1, I was usually a major cause of their formation by using my spies to tank approval ratings across the galaxy. Pure speculation, but if the mechanic is anything like GC1, the chance of a defection would be based on low approval. Man, I used to love those pop-ups. The I-League and Fundamentalists were awesome in GC1.

[quote who="azerbaijan42" reply="34" id="2916982"]Great mod, but you missed a spot - or I did. I was looking over your changelog in TechTree Fix v1.1 and saw that you changed the Korath super ability among other things. As far as I can see, there was no raceconfig.xml in this version of the mod and Korath are still using Super Annihilator on default. That suits me fine, but I'm not sure that's what you intended for that version. <br

[quote who="Drengin" reply="31" id="2916695"]Must just say thank you for the time and effort you have put into this mod. Now using it all the time and looking forward to any further updates [/quote] Thanks for that! I'm still working on it, just not at the furious pace that I was for v1. After the weapons and defenses, I did some work on the ethics techs and am working on the Drengin and Korath. They both still underperform in v1.1.

***RESUME TRANSMISSION - SECURITY LEVEL ALPHA*** Cmdr Mekoides: That pretty well wraps up the report for this session. As p

Ship assist modules provide a per-ship bonus. The only restriction is that you need to have a weapon to receive an attack assist or a defense to receive a defense assist. It doesn't matter what kind of weapon or defense. For example, my transport with no weapons or defenses gets no assist at all. But if I have a fighter with 1 beam attack and 1 shield defense, it will receive any and all available assists, be they beam, missile, armor, shield, whatever.&nbs

I'm not exactly sure what you mean . . . but I'll give it a try. How do you get experience? By defeating warships in combat and collecting certain anomalies that give experience. What does experience do? I think going up levels gives ships more hit points. I don't think it does anything else, but I'm not 100%.
