[quote who="ManiiNames" reply="1" id="3621725"] Brad is definitely in favor of diminishing returns. [/quote] I don't think it's right to assert the CEO of Stardock's opinions for him without offering a reference. Nor any dev's for that matter. Do you have a reference?

Pushing spending to the edge of the wheel adds activates coercion. The farther towards the edge, the greater the coercion penalty. The coercion penalty negatively impacts Raw production and moral. Moral, if too low, can further penalize raw production among other things. Raw production is the base from which your wealth/ manufacturing/ and research allocations come before modifiers (improvements, racial traits, etc.). The wheel allocates your Raw Production

[quote who="stevezar" reply="5" id="3621781"] I am curious what the arguments are for the opposing view. I cant think of a single good argument. Hell I cant even think of a BAD argument! [/quote] I was arguing for diminishing returns in beta. The opposing arguments were many, loud, and full of vitriol. "Freedom!", "Its a sandbox. You play your way- I'll play my way.

Yes... filling a planet is more efficient than upgrading existing structures. No... output per maintenance is not the best gauge of efficiency. Bcs are easy to find, output per tile is more important as space is far more limited than money. If you need to save bcs watch your ship components, such as 3rd or higher tier life support modules, as you can loose a lot of economic efficiency quickly there. Also... scrapping an improvement and adding a farm once your

I agree with the op in that it is counterintuitive for the tiny searcher ship to be slower than the medium-hulled surveyor and the cargo hulled colony ship. It feels wrong. Not arguing realism. Fully understand that larger ships would have vastly more speed in space than smaller ones from any conventional physics standpoint. Too much realism can quickly kill a good game, too little kills immersion. In my opinion Gal Civ 3 has erred on the side of too lit

I thought 1.6 was to clear up UI issues brought up in https://forums.galciv3.com/474070/page/1/#replies such as sorting of build and fleet lists, reducing the # of extra clicks, etc. The roadmap was changed after the discussions in that thread.

Dedicate tiles to as much pop as you can keep happy. Population is the prime determinate for Raw Production. It weighs across the board whereas bonuses to man/ res/ wea only effect the portion of Raw Production assigned to them. Influence works better scattered, though focusing on a planet near where you're trying to culture flip a rival certainly helps.

[quote who="node10" reply="211" id="3551430"] Every linear additive stacking bonus needs looking at in this game. Honestly, you should look at how daft Drives get with this sort of abuse: fleets have so many moves they're effective teleporting stacked death around the galaxy at will.

The Dregin ship in the screenshot is a Torturer-L. The "-L" in the name is the designation the core designs use for variants with augments. There is no question that the Dregin ships you faced had some form of kinetic augments.

What's their population? How many worlds do they control relative to other races? Are they studying significantly more research relics? These would be the most likely place to find your answer.
