there are some threads bout playing yor... right now, godlike and beginner probably have the sake algorithms with only the bonus/penalty it gets eing the difference ou are seeing terrans declare war on the yor because +2 diplomacy vrs -2 doesn't take much to start one... It takes a little more to edge past acting on one started though. If the terrans are declaring war on your yor, you probably won't be doing well enough to get attacked fir

System Monitor tells me I have 4G of RAM and that's exactly what I have... but it does not tell me what's going on with the page file. Is there any specific way I can detect this?

[quote who="EvilMaxWar" reply="4" id="3513554"] I played the Yor a bit and right now I feel the high granularity of their population growth breaks the experience. You only need 1 hammer to grow 0.2 pop a turn constantly. That is a pretty good investment return. By contrast, to get to +0.4 pop a turn you need to pump up quite a bit of factory output. As a result I never want t put more than 1 hammer on pop growth. I feel that if the hammer/growth ratio was more line

Took me A minute to get what you were asking. I think you are asking about the yor factory upgrade bug fix & ideology lock hackishfix that sidesteps it? Those are the only two outright "fixes", everything else has been experimental tweaking of things like research speed & such so not "fixes" perse. Changing starspread from 0 to 2-3ish(higher=even closer)is a preference thing(I like 2:) where people can find their own happy points. I'm not positive what exactly yo

I forget how GalcivII handled them when players had different versions of the XML files. Given the lack of complaints about multiplayer & XML mods I imagine it's handled similarly

I Recently posted a thread a few days ago asking if anyone had tried playing with cargo modules to make them extend range & got a number of mixed reactions including " the Dev Team has bigger fish to fry ".

[quote who="thenewteddy" reply="6" id="3513498"] I'm good with hardware, its affording the new ram that would be the problem. 6 I could afford; but likely not this month (that being january in terms of budgeting) but it feels wrong to just abandon two of my 1G sticks, as shouldn't I be able to sell them?

[quote who="NGC7000" reply="5" id="3513470"] There are far, far more examples of failed diplomacy due to a lack of trust than the reverse. Trust is the bedrock of diplomacy regardless of edge cases to the contrary. Would you trust the Drengin? Of course not, and neither would I. Nevertheless, from a gameplay point of view they may be sufficiently penalized already, but the fiction suggests otherwise. [/quote] After th

[quote quoting="post"] Thinking about this from a lore standpoint: Everyone (save maybe the Yor who are in it for a short term convenience desire) are at war with the Drengin and really hate them. Instead of discontent, should they not have an unlikeable penalty as well? [/quote] I strongly disagree. Yor get: Unlikable: -2 diplomacy Observant: +1 sensor range Organized: +10 logistic

[quote who="Larsenex" reply="3" id="3513404"] I agree, we should NOT see any of the other races hardware till after a set time or event such as a trade line or such. Granted YOU the player can sell YOUR ships but I think it would make the game far more fun to not know any of the material any race has. In fact if at war NO trades should be allowed except for grovelings of peace or offerings of tribute. No tech no hardware and the entire area of each enemy should be re fogged unless there
