Reply to Stardock releases new Outlaw Sectors DLC for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion in Press Releases (Sins) Sins Forums

This new DLC can be very crippling to the AI. Both of my unfair teammates are still sitting at 2 planets 40 minutes in because militia's keep spawning. Other games they could have 4 or more by then, depending on what sort of planets there are. In this scenario I put moon, barren, and ice around all player capitals, which are the easiest to colonize. With this new DLC it's probably possibly for the AI to be stuck ad infinitum depending on difficulty, planet types, number of phase lane

lol.. wow I feel dumb. It's funny too because I did see something about this a couple days ago but didn't really pay it much mind. Well, I saw 'culture' and 'phase lane' and didn't read anything else. This definitely makes sense with the values I was seeing. Thank you.. again.

Coming back to this because it sort of relates and Goa here probably knows the answer... Zombie too [e digicons]:grin:[/e] I've checked the player, planet, and culture center files and the value I'm looking for that apparently changes how much base culture is produced varying by planet doesn't appear to be in any of these files. For me non-home terran planets produce (slow speed +10% from research) a whopping 21 culture, or 3x more then any other planet (unless you're

Right well thanks you two. I'll just go with the poor mans approach and use EnemyCultureRepelRate. Might even be more useful considering it's pretty hard to actually lose a planet to culture unless you're against advent loyalist [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

Modding help in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Quite simply, does anybody know where upgradeBoolProperty are defined or listed? Not being an actual modder and not really knowing what a 'Bool' is it sounded like something that would be in a file like Gameplay.constants or GameEventData or any file that's txt from the get-go, but alas.. I'm looking to add a second stage to Auxiliary Government that also prevents planet loss from culture. Also, would I get rid of the two properties "CanPreventEnemyColonize"and "CanPre

It would involve excluding every 'endgame' option, not just oponents = '0' and some events (like jagged aliance event in GC2) cant happen. what to do with 'minor' races etc etc. [/quote] So you need 20 '0''s instead of 1?

Seriously those if the where to attempt to have more diverse and complex ideologies I'd say yes. But frankly dont think it would fit into the simple good bad netural ideology system they have planed.

Reply to Self research (micromanage) in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I like depth, but having too many choices can actually turn off a player and it becomes hard to balance. I think for a lot of people it's either between making the right choice or no choice at all.

Reply to A More Mature GalCiv3? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Every reply in this thread is a walking misconception of ignorance. He's not saying stardock should do away with the humor, or 'charm' as he calls it. The point is you don't need evil squirrels and teddy bears to be funny.

To me that doesn't say they don't want thousands of ships. It says they don't want thousands of ships you have to micromanage individually. It is possible to have one without the other.

Reply to A Role For Gas Giants. in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="EvilMaxWar" reply="1" id="3443820"] Kind of an interesting idea. If Stardock are looking for features to add, be it for the game or future expansions. I would say moons and Gaz giants would be a nice place to look at. I like complex games, but how complex is too complex? Endless space allows you to colonize gaz giants and use moons but it is also a simpler game than GalCiv in several regards.[/quote] What's complex here? The OP suggested, to

Games within the 4x genre provide a different niche. Multiple niche's, as do all genre's. SoTS 2 is tactical combat. Endless space is endless space. Blah blah blah I do not want a jack of all trades master of none type game. We all have our idea's of 'the perfect game', but it'll never happen. People are too ambitious for their own good.

Reply to Factions working together to research. in GalCiv III Founders GalCiv3 Forums

I agree. But there needs to be times when you don't want to have a research agreement. Yes I mean beyond you getting a negative diplomatic modifier with an opposing faction. That's just a choice between A or B, and there's nothing you can do about it. Or I should say W or M. They are the same it's just one is upside down. More negatives then positives. You only hit yes when most of the negatives don't apply to you. Unfortunately this isn't all that
