Proportions Version 2.4 released

GT, you should try this mod if you have not already. there are many small changes, but to me the biggest one is this:

there are now several levels of 'city' type facilities. these take considerably longer to build than other facilities, and provide greater benefits to boot. a homeworld starts covered in cities, and is therefore very powerful. it makes colony development a longer and more involved process.

when i play it, i have the feeling that i am running a real colonial power with a central powerbase, rather than a vast distributed empire where every measly colony world is just as powerfull as my capitol.

Can I install Proportions 2.4 over 2.2 or do I need to get 2.3 first?

With this mod I wished we could update to any researched level not just the newest one. I.E. If I have researched Facility X to level 3 I only could upgrade my Facility X 1 to a Facility X 3 not just to a Facility X 2.

I'm not sure, but I think GrowlTigga ment, (and I would like to know also),
What is the "Proportional" aspect of it?

This was probably explained befor. does anyone have the link?

what if there were multiple facilities of the same level?

for example:

facility type 666: city-type-things

basic city, roman numeral I

bigger city, roman II
spaceport city, roman II
spaceyard city, roman II

huge city, III
bigger spaceport city III
bigger spaceyard city III
spaceport/spaceyard city III

monsterous city IV
huge spaceport city IV
huge spaceyard city IV
bigger spaceport/spaceyard city IV

im not sure if this will work or not, but it could be an interesting approach. its a departure from the current method, and has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Very sneaky PvK! I just noticed that infantry weapons are Engines, so they can't be placed on larger Troops.

Very clever.

Wait a minute... AFV Armor IV has emmissive ability or 25. Small DUC III does 15 damage. One troop could hold of billions of invaders like that. I assume that more advanced troop weapons do more damage.

AFAIK, this behavior is hardcoded into SE IV, not moddable.
