AI cheat to get credit periodically even on Normal. Dunno for Beginner and Easy since i never play against them. Pre-Crusade, they are bloody dumb, and use most of those to rush useless warship out and constructor to spam starbase. Crusade AI get a bit smarter and now they actually spend it on something meaningful like colony ship and improvement.
Recall in promotion is what take them back to general pool. It will cost you 10 Prometien which is damn expensive. I wish it is free but use cooldown period instead.
Citizen is how you specialize your planet now. Space wise, using all three; Space elevator, DCM, and spaceport together aren't worth since it eat up too many tile unless you want to specialize them. I found it is better just to surround Space elevator with factory since each elevator level give +1 All production. It take less tile this way and still give you a lot in both Social and Ship construction. You need more tile to taking care of your planet right now since colony that isn't capital s
[quote who="a0152570" reply="3" id="3676127"] edit MapSizeDefs.xml and change MinCameraZoom. Increase it for each map size to limit how far you can zoom in. I had to do this to prevent crashes on a computer with V old graphics card [/quote] Those damn nebula is the GPU killer. I don't know why particle effect in GC3 is so severe to render.
4X game is about min-maxing and denied player to min-max it is opposite of what 4X should be.
All those things shouldn't be visible for you to demand to begin with. It should only available as an offer.
There are weapons that don't need resources to use it but it only appear in early tier. Resources requirement also add another strategic reason for you to knock down all those mining starbase instead of avoiding them. Although i still want the resources free version of weapons back since each weapons now require difference resources, it might possible that you are in position where you can't have the one you wanted and it restrict your playstyle a bit. Can't find any Antimatter nearby? Say go
[quote who="a0152570" reply="1" id="3676100"] All good points, my priorities are; 1,2,4,5,6,7 I would add In designer, allow ship component bar to be dragged up to show more than one line of components. [/quote] I wish the ship component actually snap the where i actually want it instead of randomly snap into other 6 widget that hide inside the ship. It grind me gear quite a lot how imprecision it is. They should add snap deadzone for it.
[quote who="TheFunMachine" reply="3" id="3676115"] Should just have a way to auto-cycle the current projects. [/quote] There is no auto for this but they insist keeping the dang auto-improvement upgrade. There should be an option to make it off by default already. It mostly just ruin your empire, it is much worse in Crusade since upgrading improvement now take resources.
[quote who="Syrkres" reply="85" id="3676097"] Missing Improvement! Planetary Defense... Sorry was the straw... No worry no posts from me for some time. [/quote] It turned into Player Achievement instead. That big defensive gun, now you can only build ONE of them. Need to research top row of military tree.
[quote who="SuborbitalPigeon" reply="2" id="3676074"] For some reason, nebulae really slow down things here, down to something like 10 fps when fully zoomed in. Switching off particles fixes the issue, but makes nebulae and elerium invisible. [/quote] The nebula is the one that knock FPS the most. Try zoom into it to the closes, it can knock your FPS to single digit.
All construction give to all but Social and Ship give to none except themselves. It raise a question why would you build Deep Core Mine in the first place since it give only 1 Social while Spaceport give All production which benefit from Factory too. Each level of Spaceport also add 1 All production. Unless you not interest to put that planet into ship construction and it has tile that improve Social one. Deep Core Mine need to has lower construction cost. Like half of Spaceport so it can jum

[quote who="Kraegor1977" reply="68" id="3676024"] 3. Resource hexes with special abilities spawn too random (like +3 social manufacture on Homeworld) but you can't build anything on it (Except Deep Core Mining) but you can't build Deep Core on your homeworld. (And it does NOT apply to Space Elevator) Very frustrating. [/quote] Slave camp generate social construction. It only available if you pick Slavers trait for your race. So that tile has it's use.
[quote who="BIF" reply="9" id="3676023"] I agree with the OP. In order to colonize a planet, it kind of requires that you get close enough to see it and touch it. No sensible colony ship would blindly enter a planet only based on long range scans or charts made up decades ago when a scout ship last flew past its solar system. Colony projects are just too expensive to build and launch and they have too many lives on the line for us to throw caution to the wind. Rig
Custom faction always get to use this hideous low framerate tech robot in tech screen. It annoy the hell out of me since all other vanilla faction got their own flavor with smoother animation. It get much worse for me since this dang robot also appear in Citizens tab too. I wouldn't mind to add my own image or video if it is doable without fiddling with xml or other file.
[quote who="Publius of NV" reply="43" id="3675733"] A version of this mod that works with Crusade can be found here . The additional terraforming improvements require the same amount of resources, but instead of returning it when completed it's used up, like all other resources in Crusade. So now you have to choose - do I use that durantium that I mined over the last 10 turns to terraform a ti
[quote who="mortili" reply="5" id="3675884"] There is also a mercenary invasion-ship, not sure if you actually need legions for it or if it comes with its own [/quote] It loaded with 3 Legions. You don't lose the invasion ship in Crusade, so if enemy let their planet undefended or you knock out all their defender, it basically unlimited use until they train legion to defend their planet.
Administrator is not assignable. It is one shot flat bonus. Citizens are limit to 10 of each type in global pool. Since Admin can't be assign, you get only 10 of them max.
[quote who="Waragh" reply="2" id="3675810"] Yes but there is five om more bonuse for social construction but if there is only one or two buildings for it. Then it's almost useless. [/quote] Slave related improvement count as social construction. It only appear if you pick Slaver trait.
Yes, since most of everything in Crusade require resource to build, even basic ship weaponry require resource.
They should fix the "recommended player" tooltip since they change map size for like 3 times already. It is misleading and create trust issue against player.

Keep in mind that a lot of faction start with 2-3 planets in their home system so you need to subtract those. If AI doing planet rush then you go for invasion rush. Make them regret doing that.
