Hi...i havent found bug report section (which is my first suggestion, since the games has crapload of them...or to make it bit more transparent if there actually is one), so i post it here.
So, across multiple plays i have noticed several serious, some "not so serious" (ill let you decide which are which) mishaps in the game
(game performance is solid with me, never crashed for me and i am of course talking about crusade+all DLC. Played always godlike, random mapsize, random amounts/types of opponents)
So.
1. Snathis tech tree has still "scavenging" tech that makes +1 mining. That makes me basically unstopable, since its 1000% increase over the intended 0,1. You need 1 starbase of each and youve got tons of resources to barter/make ships. That needs to be adjusted - and perhaps there are still other similar technologies out there that were forgotten.
2. When other race offers you some trade very often happens one/both of the following 1 - They request from you amounts of resources you dont have (i had around 5-15 of each and one Krynn AI asked for 20+ of 4 resources. If accepted, it would made me go into negative amounts which...doesnt make one bit of sense. This happened to me with more than 5 different races.
2 - You can actually get tons of resources for nothing. These Thalans asked for like 5 reources each and some treaty in exchange for 500bc. I cleared "my offer" to 0s (by clicking on the amount, backspacing and typing 0), and then i could ask for anything. In this case, they gave me about 30 ships they had, 7 planets and 100 000 bc (and all treaties aviable) for nothing. And thanked me!
3. Sometimes (i have yet to discover why) game get stuck on "wait" and it never finishes. It doesnt count opponents turns and i still can move ships that have moves/control planets (basically after kiliicking next turn, the button goes on "wait" but the opponents turn never starts, thus the button never changes back - you cant save/load game during this time, all you can do is retire or exit game alltogether)
4. I dont mind cheating AI, after all thats all it does in 4X games on higher difficulty, but i got feeling the races now are superpowered. Very aggressive races (drengin) roll over anyone really fast and then they snowball into monstrosity - as far as i can tell they have insane (way beyond reasonable even for godlike - dont mind me, but it seems other AIs fall victims to first AI that gets some money up very fast...and then the one snowballs insanely) income of money. And as far as i can tell, the Drengin always roll over any other race. But, as mentioned before, thalans on 8 planets had about 100 000 credits saved up at turt about 60, which is...kind of a lot. And again. I dont mind playing against that. But the other AIs with slower starts (one planet, nothing habitable nearby) fall victim to these guys superfast.
5. I cant say this one is more than feeling, but...its like the AIs attack starbases like they still think they got ships from before crusade - i got 20 ships attacking my starbase that (before crusade) would cut through 10 starbases without breaking a sweat, but thanks to newer mechanics they all die - which often made the AI suicide their main fleets to starbases (or pirate shipyards) and without armies fell victim to other attackers very fast.
Edit1:
6. While crating new factions, there are some duplicit options (twice vigilant, twice warriors...perhaps more). Not sure if they stack, at this point i just keep finding more and more stuff that needs to be fixed and got no time to test it all =/
Edit2:
7. For some reason, after colonizing another planet (i think it was thanks to the Observatory galactic wonder) i was able to build second central bank (that should be one per player - and i could build it right next to the first one)
This is all i can think of now, ill play bit more today and i will let you know, but some of these are really major mistakes which make the game way easier than it should be (snathi, fucked up bartering, managing to ally drengin - insta win)
