Brad has stated that he wants to add another difficulty above normal where the AI has FOW, but will remember ships it has seen. [quote who="Frogboy" reply="4" id="3556338"] I want to have 2 more difficulty levels. One just sub-normal and 1 between normal and gifted. I don't feel like "normal" is very fair to the AI since it can't load and save games. What I'd like to have at a slightly above normal AI is where it has FOW but once it knows about your s

On one hand I'm happy XCOM is getting a sequel, on the other I'm disappointed all my efforts in the first game were in vain.

I'm also unhappy about the nerf to insane, even considering that my machine can't run such maps. Edit: For comparisons sake in GC2 I once managed to have 400 colonies. This was with everything set to abundant and after absorbing almost all major factions.

[quote who="econundrum1" reply="6" id="3556786"] Stargates in more are inefficient because you need to build one at both ends with ftl constructors that is not an issue. [/quote] " Research firms across the planet quickly concluded that a propulsion system could be developed using the theories from the stargate that would enable individual ships to travel on their own. Those same individual ships would also be able to travel much faster than they could thro

" While stargates offered a significant upgrade from sublight travel, the immense structures are astronomically expensive to build and require placement both at the point of origin and the destination. Expanding into new parts of the galaxy via stargate took literally ages, since a stargate had to first be sent through normal space to the target star system. " " Having studied the plans in detail, the humans saw that the stargate confirmed many of their theories on how

[quote quoting="post"]AI trading suggestion: There are several items which the AI seems to overvalue. Trade resources seem highly valued by the AI, even if they already have the trade source that you are offering. (They get no benefit from having 2, since they never seem to trade away their second.)[/quote] As far as I know they stack. [quote]Offering credits. Annoying that the initial offer is too high, the next is too low, and you have to offer several times before you fi

I disagree on #5, tourism does give lots of money, I can stay in the black without putting anything into wealth. While trade is good for improving relations with other civilizations.

Mars no longer has a colonization event, that applies to all colonizable planets in starting systems. I do think colonizer should not grant free shipyards. And the Benevolent trait Prolific should be changed to grant say extra 50% pop of what the colony ship has when colonizing, rather than a flat +5 bp. The same goes for the racial ability.

I finished the campaign in Dread Lords, made it to the mission where the Dread Lords return in Dark Avatar, haven't played the campaign of Twilight of the Arnor. While I think it's kind of short I prefer the campaign of III to the others, it's less frustrating and the missions feel more important.

[quote who="Larsenex" reply="1" id="3553025"] Rhonin you awesome! [/quote] Not really, I only checked a few of these. And I don't think I'll look through the tutorial and campaign tech files since they are repeats of the normal ones. But I hope this method will be easier for the devs to see typos pointed out.

I've been thinking of a better way to catch typos and grammatical errors. I'll put all the text XML files in Google Docs and only people with the links can comment on them, don't edit the text directly, instead make suggestions. After making suggestions kindly make a post on which files you verified. 15.08.2015 - replaced with the newest files <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Eg2_s0q71I5cLZmL_rnkMLexoVPnmf9CdBLaMXXX_jE/edit?usp=sharing" target="_b
