Retribution: shipyard decay reduction not working anymore?

March 28, 2019 5:37:32 PM from Galactic Civilizations III ForumsGalactic Civilizations III Forums

Is it possible that the Ideology choice Pragmatic -> Builder -> Coordinated doesn't reduce shipyard decay anymore? In my current 3.6 game max shipyard distance for full production is 6 fields before and after taking this choice.

Just stumbled over the same issue. Looks like the tool tip on Coordinated is incorrect. What it really does, is reduce the decay effect by 50%. The standard decay is 2.5% per tile of distance over 6. Coordinated reduces this to 1.25%. If you also have the Engineers Ability, the decay effect is reduced to 0 and all planets can sponsor a shipyard at 100%, no matter the distance.

it's been this way since crusades. I used to play the slyne.

I'm pretty sure this works as intended, in fact I like the mechanic.  The only real "bug fix" would be making the tooltip less ambiguous.

Yeah the main thing I included was just that we need to make sure tooltips reflect what they do. Balance changes are a separate discussion I think.

Well I don't care whether the text or effect are fixed, but in a game as complex as this, we really don't need misleading tooltips.
