More expensive Intelligence projects

Soulfisher · #1 June 25th, 2003, 10:34 AM

In huge quadrants, late in the game, a player could feasibly produce so many intelligence points that he could not spend it all amoung his 12 intelligence projects (IP). For this reason, I have considered creaating additional IPs (with the same functions as previous IPs), but that are more expensive.

Is this a good idea to put into a mod, and am I right that IPs attack CI with as many points as they cost?

Extending Intel projects is not a bad idea.

Also, it is indeed true that the more a project costs, the more CI it takes to defeat it.

I'm not that fond of intel projects as they are now. I'm going to omit them in my next game against TDM. A planet that switches sides is just too much. I can see that happen to the occasional ship but a planet?
And take a look at the cost. Nope, can't say i like it.

Fyron, I notice your, projects, in the Adamant MOD, and I say, this is the best base to work with.

Minipol, you can mod out PPP. Just add a 0 to it's research req.

JLS, enough commas in your sentence?

I don't know about Adamant being the best base to work from... there have been some intel mods in the past that may well be more thought out than what I have done in Adamant...

You might also want to mod up CI so that there is a defense against the higher level projects you are producing.

CI is plenty strong as it is... just a few can make you invincible against intel from 4-5 races at once (with high intel production, ofc)...

If he mods offensive intel up 4-5 times, then you could only do that against one empire. More than that, and you can't stop it all, even from a single empire (with high intel prodcution, ofc).

Thanks for the suggestion. I might just do that in the next solo game.
