[quote who="Maiden666" reply="263" id="3611782"] How much time would you give them for each turn if I would select them as opponents and click turn manually? [/quote] Around 5 seconds. Maybe 10. More is only needed for the AI to calculate better moves. In any case, the Krynn should have Laws of Krynn by the end of year 0, year 1 at the latest. That has been my experience so far.

[quote who="Maiden666" reply="261" id="3611760"] Further I've removed the generic econ-tree from them completely - using moral structures in conjunction with high taxes will also net enough money. [/quote] So, you're going to make their econ similar to that of the Yor? Except without any Econ-bonuses? I'm not sure how well that would work. The base-income from population isn't that high.

[quote who="Maiden666" reply="1514" id="3611738"] AFAIK the AIValue on techs is used by the AI to determine its value when techtrading, although ironically there's a second tag (WillingnessToTrade) which plays right into this, as well. His researchbehaviour is mostly influenced by his AIP in relevance to his global needs. [/quote] That's not entirely correct. AIValue does determine the value of techs when techtrading, true. However, it also adjusts
[quote who="Maiden666" reply="259" id="3611678"] No, but the CU did actually change some stuff with history techs & their improvements. In vanilla most of these history techs held unique stuff like GAs etc the CU somehow now splits moral buildings into them. There was just alot of homogenization there, eg. Drengin also get Market Centers instead of Black Markets etc [/quote] I know. Most of that was done by me. There were two reasons for this: 1. some races have access t

By the way, would you be okay with my changes to the Thalan and switching the alignments of the Drath and Terrans back? I would like to know, if there would be an outcry, if I did that along with my proposed changes to the Bio-techs.
[quote who="Maiden666" reply="257" id="3611642"] IMO there has to be a reason why someone would pick the Torians - or any other Stockrace for that matter - they need to excel at something. [/quote] Well, I always play as one of the stockraces, because I just don't get the appeal of creating my own race, or recreating ones from other franchises. Sure, from a purely mechanical standpoint it might often be better to play as a custom race, but they don't share the

[quote who="Maiden666" reply="1502" id="3611589"] Then there is the Altarian/Drath SuperAbility interrelation. Around midgame the Drath usually throw the whole galaxy into wars and they make a fortune out of it. That keeps all other military low. If the Drath ask someone else to wage war against the Altarians, then these will ask the Drath to help them out. Ie, the Altarians SuperAbility takes care that the Drath also have to fight their own wars. As it is now, they can stay too much in

In the campaign, they used the Korx as proxies in an attempt to regain their homeworld from the Altarians. By the end of the story, the Drath repented for what they did, and gave up their claim for their old home. Turning them Neutral again, and making them covet their homeworld once more, is undoing all of the character deve
I've been wondering, would anyone have something against the following changes? -reduce the Pop-Growth-bonus of Xeno Biology to +5% and Fertility Acceleration to +10% (Yor: +10%, +10%, +15% for Population Acceleration, Spark of Life Enhancement, and Extended Lifetime respectively) -move Aphrodisiac to Xeno Medicine -re-add the Fertility Clinics improvement (using a low AI value, so that the AI doesn't spam it on its planets) The bonuses to the Pop-Growt
[quote who="Spinorial" reply="1489" id="3611426"] Hah, I see what happened there. They never bothered to animate the grill or the furnace behind it. So, as the robot moves around, they stay in place and clip through. Sloppy. Can it be fixed? If one had the actual animation file, sure. Otherwise, a moderately skilled artist would have to fix it frame by frame. Worth it? Hell no! If I had GalCiv3, I'd look to scavenge some of their assets (if they're pre-rendered), but as is, I nei
[quote who="Maiden666" reply="252" id="3611459"] Judging from what I can see in the CustomRace's techscreen I'd venture to say that the game presents the MinorRacetree of DA or DL - there's WarpDriveIV & V present (or perhaps he looks at the non-modded TotA...) and alot of empty techs devoid of a name.... [/quote] DL and DA didn't have a minor race tech tree. All races shared the same tree. Are you still running v2.04? That would explain why WarpDrive IV

[quote who="Maiden666" reply="245" id="3611295"] btw I wonder what your stance is regarding some starting improvements, like eg. Social Matrix, Hyperion Matrix or Innovation Complex. As it is now, they can be built multiple times... is this working as intended? [/quote] They are all SPs, so can only be built once per race. If you have multiple races with the same tech tree, then it's also possible to get multiple instances of those improvements. That is WaI.</p
