Astrophysics: A new, very powerful, highly coslty tier in tech tree. Astrophysics basically means stellar manipulation - that you can influence and even manipulate stellar objects like suns, planets, asteroids, even black holes and everything else. Stellar manipulation is a way of shaping cosmos (galaxy map) and circumstances for you or your opponents as you wish. There are lots and
Those old generation geeks do not know what true EXploration means. Not only there could be invented rule that (thanks to stellar manipulation, see my astrophysics proposal here ) „a player can change the map to his will” but also „the map changes to its own will, as player develops”. This basically means that the galaxy map develops/changes strategically as time and development goes
Halfway through 1st attempt to play crusade noticed following: 1) Aquatic races do not have that little pleasant symbol that others (carbon based life, synthetics) have. 2) Warrior trait being listed 2 times have already been mentioned, but I am 100% certain this trait wasnt the only one that appears twice. 3) Asteroid mining: when you assign em to different planet then, after a while they get supporting the same initial 1st planet
No, its not the same thing because different galaxies can have different characteristics. Take a closer look in my points b) and c).
Multiple galaxies means that „map” consists of not one but several maps (galaxies) at the same time. To me it makes perfect sense to have few smaller galaxies instead of one galaxy of insane size – I mean such approach certainly COULD be prefered. You cannot have battles during galaxy travel, so there is nothing much else that ties galaxies together other than ships. A powerful computer
In astronomy, economy and science in general, everything is measured so that one can have an idea of what the other is talking about/showing/seeing. As an optional feature , the game could invent units of measurement. In numbers there are well and not so well known units such as: Billions, trillions, quattuordecillions and so on. In weight there are miligrams, tonnes, kilotonnes, me
