Stardock will be closed for the week starting on Monday, June 29th and we will be returning on Monday, July 6th. We will be monitoring support tickets and forums during this time but expect delays in responses during this time.
I wouldn't mind some all-negative choices that proceed more op bonuses later in the tree. If the tree can branch, then placing better perks at dead ends and worse ones at whyes would be a cute way to add a little more angst to the decision making.
[quote who="tetleytea" reply="40" id="3685830"] So we are able to mod the ideology trees themselves, and not just the events? I couldn't find the XML for it under Crusade. [/quote] Nor could I. .... because Crusade doesn't alter those files and I didn't think to look for them in the base game files instead.
Fighters still have to close to fire at each other. I thought I put the starbases at 2400 or so, but my mod currently has 1500 (scratches head). Another way to achieve the similar results is to boost starbase/ shipyard weapon ranges. I upped them +50%.
Crusade mods. I know it reads it from there. Not sure if it would still be read for Crusade from the vanilla folder. Curious. What are you setting the starting position for starbases to? I altered this in my battle behavior mod to try and get starbases to fight with the defending fleet instead of in a 2nd engagement after defenders were destroyed. Still not sure how effective my effort was.
BattleBehaviorDefs.xml There is a battle behavior definition for starbases/shipyards in this file where you can set their starting position.

@ Gauntlet It's in an old post. I'll post it later, gotta watch another episode with the gf first.
This MOD is absolutely awesome. I linked your video on the GC3 discord. Some of the community rarely stops by the forums.

[quote who="tetleytea" reply="22" id="3684692"] So what can we do to get the game from here to there? It would seem our interests align: we want a good game. Stardock wants a good game, so that word-of-mouth spreads, they grow their loyal fan base, and they get long-term sales. Is fan-modding the answer? Simply criticizing Stardock is certainly not, no matter how strong (or accurate) our opinions. Walking away is an answer, but last-resort. I c

BUMP. I agree. The game needs polish, and lots of it. I don't care that there's a hot post about how "polish doesn't sell" and most everyone there agrees. I'm upset. The Ideology choice for diplomatic trade value with minors has been left in the game how long since trade with minors has been removed? Three months? That is not just lack of polish, it's sloppy. Yes, I said "Sloppy". Many of the other choices are wild
