Patch 3 What and When?

Oh this ought to be good.

I love people who trash talk the AI that have never played it on its hardest setting. This ought to be good for a few laughs. Please keep us informed as to your progress.

Remember, Mine the WP, and back them up with Satalies. Good luck.

I play the game on hard settings, large galaxy 200+ stars , 20 empires and im more than satisfied with the challenge.
I JUST WANT DIPLOMACY IMPROVED.

Don't forget to play with finite resources!

The finite resources option doesn't work properly.

I've never tried it. What is wrong with it?
It seems like a great feature but not with the use of monoliths.

Martin (oops I mean Nitram): the problem with finite resources is that, when the planet is supposed to run out of a particular resource, it doesn't really run out. So the resources aren't really finite. They've had problems with the finite resources stuff ever since the beginning; the history files in the various patch sets show multiple fixes, so I'm guessing it's just difficult to set up. And I imagine the AI has trouble with it...

Oops.

The problem is that even if limited resources worked, it simply means that one has to play a crystolic race, and one just converts to solar generation facilities as planets become unproductive.
