I'm disappointed that synthetics still don't have access to Extreme Colonization in 3.7 build. :(

3. Why would I give away production, research, etc for no return?

[quote who="Jigarothu" reply="9" id="3743518"] what about a fix for regular extreme planets for superior lifeforms aka synthetic, it works for everyone else though, or maybe it's just me? it's still there for carbon and aquatic and now silicon, but still not the machines.... [e digicons]:([/e] [/quote] My machine empire can colonize and terraform. You might need to validate your files.

[quote who="Publius of NV" reply="73" id="3742505"] Do you happen to know if the devs intend to fix the synthetic and silicon tech trees? [/quote] No idea! I think the current tech tree for colonization and terraforming might need major reworking to accommodate non-carbon races. It took me quite awhile to find a workable. but lousy, fix to allow my synthetic race to get advanced colonization and terraforming techs. <div class=

This mod works fine with Retribution as long as you play carbon-based civs. The synthetic and silicon civs currently have broken tech trees for colonization and terraforming. Personally, I gave up waiting for Stardock to get their act together and modded the master tech file by removing the preclusions for Xeno Adaption and Xeno Biology so I could play my custom synthetic race.

The synthetic tech tree has no access to advance terraforming or colonization techs now.

"Also the bar is like 85% to 90% in my favor and I still lose my 25 legions against their 7 legions." This can happen if you don't put all of the legions on 1 hex so they attack together. If you spread the legions out, they seem to attack separately for some reason. :/

Yes it said 3.2. However, based on your response, I went back to Steam and validated my game. I got that 5 files reacquired message, that I haven't seen for awhile. I'm sort of surprised that steam doesn't automatically check files after an update. I'm still seeing the same values.

Sigh, the synthetics get only O.1 population for 1 Durantium again. These wild swings instead of incremental adjustments makes it difficult to assess balance issues. My observation is that 0.1 pop for 1D puts synthetic races at too much of a disadvantage. On the flip side, +1 pop for 1D and 1P does the exact opposite. My gut feeling is that +0.3-0.4 pop per 1 D might be closer to a good balance.
When you look at the shipyard screen that shows you the production contributed by each planet, the green numbered values show "in range" planets for colony ships to grab population I think.
The synthetics need rebalancing. One Durantium to get 0.1 population growth is ridiculous. If you mine 1 Durantium, you get 0.1/turn. That's 100 durantium-mining turns to get 1 pop. :(
Auto-upgrade on?
I thought it was sheer number of garbage ships that the AI pumps out that bogs the game down. :/
Ship designer can only be accessed in game from shipyard screen now.
I always thought that each minor should have 1 unique indestructible building that has a unique ability. Examples: building that trains ships in orbit. gives empire-wide morale bonus gives empire wide soldiering bonus. builds 1 global legion every x number of turns allows production of unique ship at shipyard gives ideology points at double the rate of the normal ideology buildings Minors should all start wit
"Have people seen the AI use Espionage?" Yes, but just like me, not a lot. I've seen spies deployed on enemy planets by another AI. I've had techs stolen by spies on occasion. The AI and I have better uses for citizens. Even the "recruit spy" also requires resources that are sometimes better used elsewhere.
"Moving citizen on the map make little sense anyway, when you have agent and diplomat moving instantaneously..." I totally agree with this. It takes x number of turns for a Citizen to reach a planet, but it can be recalled directly to your home world in the same turn? Pick one mechanic or another. I would definitely prefer the latter one. Everything involving citizens should be instantaneous.
I discovered that if you overpopulate synthetic worlds, you get 2 added bonuses. Synthetic worlds' populations don't decay and you don't have to worry about morale. I guess that perhaps the old cap of 100 population for these two things kicks in.
"thanks, but how can i create an unassigned legion> as far as i can see, i can only build them on planets directly" see reply #1 You get 5 legions for every General citizen created. Promotion of General gets even more.
"i got a planet with 2 legions(earth), got the shipyard near earth, but i cant build a transport because of the lack of legions." FYI once you garrison legions to a planet, they are no longer available for invasions. Unassigned legions are considered a global resource. Another words if you have legions unassigned, you can build a transport at any shipyard. On the flip side, transported legions can't be garrisoned. My advice is too go offensi
Its been reported that building Extravaganza causes Port of Call to not be shown in build list anymore.
