Re: Good TG contest map available

Well, I'll address the happiness issue first. At 50%, an idle planet will go from jubilant to happy in 5 turns. (it'd be 8 turns if it was set to 80-100, range for that might be greater, didn't test...

Race experience

Anyone know what small bonuses this is supposed to give you? I was suprised to see that in the Q/A section on Malfador's website. I almost expected experience to hurt you, just to even things out...

Re: Do Planets need Cargo facilities?

I think the only time I'd use cargo facilities would be for a military outpost that was vital to hold for strategic reasons. Even so, I don't think I've ever built one.

Any other planet worth...

Re: How many Facilities....

Advanced Storage is a HUGE plus in any game, and is one of 4 advanced traits that are absolutely essential to do well in the TG contest.

Not only do you effectively get 20% more out of every...

Re: AI Human Mega Evil Empire Score Percent:= 170

Just a quick point alasyr - if the human has more points than the AI, it's the human that becomes the mega evil empire, not the AI. Basically, whoever is MEE has everyone else against them.

Re: Are Racial modifiers additive

You should probably refer to it as construction rate. Production typically refers to resources (and sometimes research/intel) that you are producing.

Like Triumvir mentioned, if you take the +25%...

Re: Quadrant types????

Look under QuadrantTypes.txt and SystemTypes.txt in the data directory where you installed SEIV for all the details. Let us know if that doesn't help.

Re: Good TG contest map available

Ok Raynor, enough already, I've got a big enough ego as it is. Hope it helps with your game. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon12.gif

Good luck to everyone else competing. I'll...

Re: Good TG contest map available

I had my first batch of ringworlds (5 of them I think) go up on turn 84. I had 35 ringworlds up by turn 90, and the rest finished over the next 5 years or so.

Good work Hydraa. I'll be...

Re: Remote Mining

Well, here's a couple more random thoughts related to mining (but not necessarily each other).

Sats may be mineral cost effective, but they aren't planet cost effective. You only get the benefit...

Re: Remote Mining

Unless you have an very low maintenance, I think remote mining is a waste in this game. I think this could be improved greatly by changing how quickly the planet degrades, making it dependant on how...

Re: Good TG contest map available

You can definitely build more than one ringworld per system, all you need is a free star. I think there are 3 or 4 systems in that map with 3 stars.

I think I ended up getting around 1.3M in...

Re: Good TG contest map available

You'll have to create 48 ringworlds and make about 150 planets out of asteroids to get near the 500 figure. I'm pretty sure that's about as many as you can reasonable expect to get in a game. Even...

Re: Has anyone ever seen AI use troops and capture a planet

If you don't destroy the weapons platforms on a planet, you can have problems. Otherwise, unless you're setting your ground combat really low, it shouldn't be that big a deal to take over a planet...
