I am in for a most 'Excellent' update! PvK, Sir!

Oleg's AI for the Puntherraian's is great! By the way! If you did not already know. The Puntherraian shipset v2.0 is out as well. If you want to change the vehiclesize.txt file on your next update!

OH YEAH! GREAT MOD, PvK!

just thought of another one- if you want to include and if you can do so without affecting play balance:

Could you alter the population production modifiers so that i can move a few million off my homeworlds without taking a huge drop in production? Just bumping the threshold from 4000 to 3998 or something would be fine...

4,000 to 3,998?!

Help!

No wonder I am at the bottom of the list in the game I am playing.

Is there a list somewhere that explains the changes from 1.84 Gold? And if so, where is it?

What, you mean the differences between the unmodded game and the latest Version of proportions? There are probably too many to list, but there's an excellent overview on the official proportions page. Just find any post of PvK's and look in the sig.

I think tbontob probably misunderstood what you were suggesting, although I don't know in what way? Maybe he is in a game where he started with 2,000 homeworld population, or he thought you were talking about a typical colony in your empire.

As for the changes list compared to 1.84, there is no complete list of all changes (unless you run a compare program on the data files...). As Dogscoff said, there is a good list on the Proportions web page (see link below), or in the readme.txt in your Proportions directory. The list of changes since the first Version of Proportions is pretty complete, though.

Hi Pvk!

Well, yesterday I must have tried to access your site about 20 times and got the "Time-out" message.

First try today and I'm in.

Downloaded the mod discription. And it prints out to 16 pages! Going to keep me busy for a while reading it.

No question about it, PvK, you are to be complimented on the dedication and work you have put into this mod!

What I meant was that out of 15 or 16 players in a game I am playing, guess who is ranked 15th or 16th?

The reference to 4,000 and 3,998 was just a way of saying I am not in any way familiar with the nuances of the mod. It was an indirect way of saying I needed help.

Now to take a look at the "readme.txt in the Proportions directory".

Thanx for the help. Everything's cool.
