Yes. Tall is more fun than wide. But wide is more OP than tall. Hence the dilemma. I'd like to play TALL games without feeling like I'm nerfing myself.

Part of the fun of breaking a game, by the way, is NOT being quiet about it.

After cutting through all of the fluff (granted that the fluff is fun), that's the crux of the problem. The debate about LEP is effectively an ego contest between people who play with lots of planets and people who don't.

It's pretty consistent: People who play with fewer planets are ok with LEP as it is. People who play with more planets hate it or simply pick up Patriotic in all of their games.

Reply to 1.3 MORALE STILL COMPLETELY BROKEN in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

You pretty much have to go Patriotic with 100+ colonies unless you enjoy nerfing yourself or enjoy OCD behavior like surrounding each colony (and you would have more than 100 of them) with 3-4 starbases or more. That's effectively what the LEP system forces players to do.

Why? Your logic makes no sense. If you break the game YOU SHOULD BE AS LOUD ABOUT IT AS POSSIBLE so the developers will be motivated to fix it.

The point is that on larger maps with lots of planets, you have to starbase spam to deal with the LEP. Unfortunately, the more planets you have the more difficult it becomes to starbase spam all of your colonies. In other words, people who enjoy playing with lots of planets sort of get screwed over by the LEP or the excessive micromanagement. As a result many of you have STOPPED playing with lots of planets for precisely that reason. I've noticed that m

Yor Tech Tree for Non Synthetic Races? Choosing Synthetic Might be a Nerf!!! in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Oddly enough, it sort of works. Fast Assembly and Ultra Fast Assembly can still be used by non-synth races if you select Yor tech. The biggest problem though is the lack of pop capacity on planets. Yor tech means no farms. That can be rectified partially with Monsantium deposits (+1 food per item) and farmers (+2 food). Wondering if you can trade techs to get farms. If so, it means playing as a synthetic race is actually a NERF since you can get

But it's true MOST of the time? The point of the matter is that it's a lot easier to just spam factories instead of thinking of matters like this. It works quite effectively. I reckon with massive amounts of starbase spam it IS more efficient to boost morale and Total Production up. 5 starbases providing the percent bonus with massive amounts of farms and morale buildings will do the trick. On the other hand, that's like an OCD trap. &nbs

Reply to Each Planet Should Only Get Benefit from One Starbase in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Fair enough. I've actually made it a rule that I'll only build one starbase per planet. Of course with 100+ planets even THAT'S a little too much. God knows what would happen if I really tried.... And yes, relics should be much more rare and placed in difficult to get locations.

Each Planet Should Only Get Benefit from One Starbase in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

In other words, starbase benefits should not stack with other starbases. Otherwise, 90% of the time spent on games will be building starbases to surround your planets (which is a rather tedious chore). Currently the dominant strategies are either: 1. Colony spam. 2. Starbase spam. 3. Do both. 100+ planets with 5 starbases means the construction of 500+ starbases. Each starbase requires at least 8 constructors for a total

[quote who="dansiegel30" reply="33" id="3564703"] Yes I think the answer to your approval problems is to build an approval building. 5 star bases can surround a planet as well, and can add massive amounts of approval.

On larger maps with lots of planets is Ancient better than getting Patriotic or Colonizer? If so I might try it. Theorycrafting: Ancient bonuses don't matter as much until after the colony rush is over. Ancient might give out huge bonuses later in the game, but Colonizer lets you spam 30-40% more colonies. So... your thoughts?
