Hello Again Val,
I got another suggestion for you. For ground forces, a player gets to chooses either to have a low grade or elite grade troops, (a real no brainer here, we always pick the elite troops) so why not instead start both infantry and ground vehicle at the lowest level and cost, and advance the technology and troops grade together.
Plus you can used all those other troop grades. Neat idea would be allowing only a very few races to have elite grade troops and double the effect/fighting value of elites. I think Nomads should be elite, increase they chance in capturing other races planets. Or make elite troops a ruins technolgy, or the be used by AI empires only. But main idea is to limited elite grade to only one or two races would increase the interest in ground forces and the B5mod in general.
As for my other past questions, you need to plan on having a "read me" file attached to B5mod on all your changes and new ideas for this great mod. Thus this
will help new and current players and increase the value of all your hard work. I suggestion that you start now in listing any change/new idea to a read me file so it would be completed when B5mod is completed.
Please remember I'm trying to assist you, not to be to pushie.
