This has happened to me and it was caused by including ship class(es) in a ship style that were not recognized by the game. It was two new designs that I had added. I think it is a bug that they didn't validate but I fixed it by replacing them with previous designs.
[quote who="GrimmAG" reply="54" id="3686099"] I do not like ideological choices giving negatives at all, those should be in the actual decision as to which path to take. [/quote] I agree
[quote who="matezzo" reply="3" id="3686021"] What do mean vica versa? [/quote] I believe that on normal difficulty you can see anything that the AI has uncovered and they can see what you have uncovered, but never mind, at the levels above normal the AI does know the location of everything. I think that is the first advantage given above normal, even before they get the huge money bonuses. I agree that it is annoying for the average player, (me), but as I commented i
[quote who="tetleytea" reply="2" id="3686016"] If an AI is "godlike", I think it is fair that it be omniscient. [/quote] Yes, and the better players beat the AI consistently, in spite of the omniscience. The AI is so stupid it will always blunder the game away regardless of the advantages. In fairness to the AI, many (not all) of the wins are accomplished by using a formula that some would call exploitation.
[quote who="Veristek" reply="8" id="3685984"] Which section of the page is that button supposed to be located in? [/quote] On that page, on the far right of the Welcome message you should see the search option, right below that is a tiny black button to create new post
[quote]How can I build an Ascension Gate (I've researched the appropriate technology) [/quote] You have to accumulate sufficient ascension points by building starbases adjacent to lots of ascension relics. When you have enough points the gate builds itself I believe
Had you cleared the fow for those planets? If so I think the AI can see what you see and vice versa. Maybe not but I think so. What level are you playing? They claim, and it seems correct to me, that the AI does not cheat on normal. That is where I usually play. I have beat the AI on higher difficulty but it is not fun to me when it seems the AI can virtually rush buy everything.
[quote who="Gauntlet03" reply="50" id="3686006"] One-off penalties really won't be happening though [/quote] I didn't put that well. The 10% penalty is fine, just not the continuing money penalties at frequent intervals.
That was rather vague. Mostly the tree choices. When it is the colony events, I feel compelled to consider the positive and negatives vs the morality of the choice. When you think about it, that is the way it works in real life. What are you willing to do (or not do) to get the great deal. I can understand the penalties in the colonizing events, but when you are in the tree the good or bad choices have already been made. I would prefer that tree choices be positive e
I am using the mod and I like it. Needs some work on the text problems and of course it will be better with further development. It has definitely elicited different choices. The only criticism I have is that some of the negatives are so severe, in game, I avoid the choice based on that negative vs my opinion.
Please StarDock stop the default auto updates and the repeat garrisons. this is by far the most annoying features in the game
I would like to mod dead planets to be minable for durantium/thulium/promethium + occasionally some of the minor resources (no anti-matter) at a higher return than the standard resource. Maybe 5x or 10x depending on how rare the planets will be. The main thing is to make some of the hundreds of dead planets have some value in the game.
I tried playing II recently and it is just too old timey. Back down to pre crusade is the best solution imo.
I love this game. It is my favorite all time game which I have been playing in it's various releases for nearly 20 years. With GCIII/Crusade I am like the kid playing with a broken kite. In spite of ripped fabric and broken sticks, repaired with cellophane tape and super glue, I manage to have fun with my badly damaged toy. If the AI doesn't like me because I have no diplomatic skills, it should indicate this in some way other than offering stupid trades. The AI has im

I am using more than several mods, this would be one of Horems I think. I'll see if I can get it for you.
I created a new civilization with a fleet consisting mostly of ships that I designed, (I just used the defaults for the specialty support ships). The civilization saved and I played a game using the civ with no issues. Next day I started up the game and got an error message that the ship style for my new civ was not valid and would not be included in the game. When the game started none of my custom ships were there. The civ loaded okay, just no custom ships. just generic terran ships. I have
I found a PQ 50 planet in a game today. I had no idea they got that high. I don't recall anything over low thirties that wasn't terraformed
I have found that the best way to control planet frequency is by making stars occasional or rare.
I hate Iceland and I don't want to trade with them or have diplomatic relations. I wish we would send the Mississippi National Guard and a flat bed truck to invade Iceland.
Hmm, maybe I screwed up replacing the game dir files. I am pretty sure the my games files are okay. I'll play around with it.
I love it. The choices present some really tough decisions that create real immersion in the ideology choices vs the "cartoonish" malevolent choices and the "goody two shoes" benevolent choices. Can't wait to try it.
Well, it appears to be over my pay grade. I removed the only mod file that included a merc file and the game still ctdt when you open the bazaar.
Installed the update with no problem, but for some reason DRM-M is crashing the game when I open the bazaar. I am thinking it is a conflict with some other mod I am using.
