I think an estimated X of habitable X number of extreme x number of minors and average # per civ would be a nice start. When you change a variable like common to abundant habitable planets, it would update the numbers. That would make it much easier to get the "right size". You can calculate it from the values in the xml, but that is a PIA.

I would like to see the number of players per difficulty and how much TIME they play. I would guess a large portion of players who play at normal or below also play less overall time than those at higher levels. The higher level players are also probably veterans, play larger maps and play longer. It would be a good stat(s) to know.
I said this earlier. Even a soak gets achievements. I wish they would fix this.
Have to say, at that age I would probably named it after a hot girl I was trying to impress. I should have named it after a mentor or (cliche) my mother, but nope. I would have hoped to score. [e digicons]:')[/e]

Agreed, what a legend and a humble soul. I agree with Raven. A kinder, gentle soul while being great and humble probably would never exist in this meat market in music today.

There is a game called Order of Battle: Pacific. It is in the same vein as Panzer General/Panzer Corp. However, as the title says, it is in the Pacific. It also changes many of the rules. Supply is a major one Artillery is another as well as support from anti-tank. It has a mix of land/sea/air. So you have to balance what you buy for your corp units. Some scenarios won't allow army/naval units. That will limit which air units you have as well. The scenarios are long. Just finished Leyte G

[quote who="L4nt4r" reply="101" id="3562256"] I looked at an AI in game, I read what you guys wrote here and I see that AI is mainly focused on setting correct hendicap. This is wrong direction. I see following main issue with the AI: 1. Bad planet management focused mainly on population growth (believe that program is calculating efficient production, research and weath and with current bonus from hendicap it gives him best results), AI is not focusing planets, in
[quote who="Blaze of Glory" reply="3" id="3562257"] I asked for this as well. I don't think it should be in game as that makes it too easy for you to min/max optimal ships/fleets. Rather, something from the main menu where you can do this to get a feel for how roles and weapons/defenses/targeting/tactical speed works. Of course, you CAN do this in the debug console. At least I think so. On the streams Paul creates fleets and has them battle. I think you can build specific

I don't know why they got rid of the tree list on the left side that was in FELH. Also, we really need sectors. Having planets sport by newest first to oldest doesn't help much. The reason being I colonize by best planets first and farthest. Then I back fill the planets. So I can have a couple of planets in one solar system, but colonized them at different times. So they aren't next to each other on the list. At least let us sort alphabetical on

Yes, sadly, it seems that whatever calculation is used, it looks like a poor one. Sort of like "We have 100,000 guys with spears, all they have is a couple of thousand." Never mind those few have machine guns, cannons and horses. I would like to hope I am wrong, but so far quantity seem to count more than quality. I need to do more research/testing. I would love to see the equation(s) and see what I can offer.
I would like to see a special ops or invasion mechanic to capture a star base myself.
I think part of the problem is the vagueness of the surrender mechanic. This is the only can I can recall that has this mechanic. The idea isn't bad, the implementation seems to be the issue. When I say it isn't bad. Let's assume the UK surrendered to Germany in the Battle of Britain. Wouldn't the UK "gift" Canada, Australia and India some of their assets, colonies and outposts? However, the current mechanic seems too random.
