Do the Religious Shrines work?

[tesco samoa]

I never knew about the over lap.

So you could have the fate shrine running ( which has a +1 on the happiness and the other two great bonuses) and the temporal vacation services ( +6) and they both work ( minus the crappy +1 happiness on the nature shrine )

If this is true then, I have a few systems I will have to visit to build some more system wide facilities.

Thanks. Stuff you learn.

PsychoTechFreak:
I made a "special" shrine with a big positive number (instead of a small negative one) to increase the event chance.

I plan to do a similar but more extensive test -
create +10000 and -10000 chance shrines.
create a game with neutrals and me only, events set to "high"
Colonize 10 systems.
Ensure each system has vessels in it, facilities, units on worlds etc (anything events may want to affect)
In one system only, create a "good" shrine.
In one other system, create a "bad" shrine.
(edit; make sure neither of these is the "homeworld", just in case anything is hardcoded... wouldn't think so, but nayway)

Run the game just hitting end turn for about 1000 turns, pausing only to note which worlds are affected by events.

At then end I will have a pattern which will show whether the shrines have any effect, and if so how much.

But, no time for that this week.

My God! Really are you trying to do a test!
I can bet that you have a big patience! Thanks for test it!

1000 turns. Gordddddds man. No human can handle hitting f12 and return that many times in a row. Their going to have to use paint thiner to scrape your thumb and middle finger off the keyboard.

When I get curious about something I have to investigate!

(On reflection I might just alter the "Event Chance High" in settings, to make events more likely, then see what happens.. I might get enough data in just 800 turns)

don't use the word looney. Bad Karma. Post the results when their done

Also maybe what you were thinking every 150 end turns or so.

Would be good to track the stats. To see if there are any patterns.

Maybe every 5 or 10 turns.

Give those minerals to the empire's budget.
Repeat for other resources.

Typically the best bonus is the maximum individual bonus ability from any facility that applies (ie local vs system).

I like the explination. Any idea when the racial bonus gets added???
