Taear posted:I had the Great Khan spawn and start taking systems. They vassalised one large empire and were slowly pushing towards a Despoiler I was at war with. The machine empire will go fight hostile ship types (pirates and marauders and such) outside of their borders if they're close enough. Diodachies are treated as normal empires, so as soon as the Khanate splits up, they're no longer a valid target.

Business Man, CEO: It seems this game isn't selling at all any more and not making us money. What should we do? I know, spend money and time to release free unpaid content. That'll get us dollars. Business Man, CEO, days later: poo poo why is my company bankrupt now. edit: I mean poo poo this patch came with a ton of free content but i guess don't buy apocalypse that will make them release more unpaid content??

There are consequences to group behavior. paradox has already dealt with this on their end, by not half-pricing DLC for roughly a year after release. they're presumably happy enough with the gain in revenue compared to their old policy of half-pricing after a DLC is no longer the newest DLC since they've stuck with the same price pattern for a while now, so why chide people on a forum about it

okay, I'm getting annoying behavior from an opposing AI navy. My fleet is locked on them from another system, but the enemy fleet keeps engaging then disengaging jump drive, cancelling my fleet's orders.

I don't think the per-species military unit limits are working properly. I found a Very Strong primitive race to make into a warrior caste, and if I try to queue up a bunch at once, it eventually stops me from queuing more because "the species can only support 14 assault armies." But once they've actually been built, I can add more again.

Alright so I am playing a Fanatic Purifier and I am Armageddon bombing a planet and its "Planetary Damage" keeps ticking up to 100%, then resetting to zero. Can anyone explain to me what is going on? Because I am pretty confused and the game is giving me zero feedback.

Interesting. I saw plenty of craters show up on the planets but didnt notice other things happening. Maybe the game can count a partial/growing pop as a casualty because it took forever. You would think that a planet that is being bombarded and is generating negative food wouldnt have any pop growth... Anyway, thanks guys!

Turning human_ai on it, seems the AI no longer has any idea how to use jump drives and will instead constantly waffle between jumping and normal hyper drives.

The other thing is that I think planets turn to Tomb Worlds only once you're bombed the population to zero.

Strudel Man posted:How the heck does this work. Pathetic + inferior + equivalent = equivalent? My guess is rounding. There is likely some dictionary that maps the numerical ranges to english words like "inferior". Depending on how it's coded, there could indeed be a comparison for one part of the ui where .000000001 is > 0 but less than the .001 threshold for pathetic status or whatever, but else where they convert the float to its actual zero value so the ui prints equivalent. Who knows?

Strudel Man posted:How the heck does this work. Pathetic + inferior + equivalent = equivalent? current fleet is probably valued less than capacity and tech for the summed evaluation. this makes more sense from the AI's perspective as the player is likely to beef up to capacity when declared on if possible, and a low cap low tech player is thus a much more vulnerable target even with the same current fleet value. this has the side effect that it's way too easy to spook the AI with your naval capacity on normal AI aggressiveness

Ok, current game I am playing I am trying to see all the mega-structures, colossus, and such. Trying to plan out my Perk choices and can't really decide what might be best. So far I've unlocked 2 and picked up Technological Ascendancy. I am thinking in the end I'll have: 1. Tech. Ascendancy 2. Executive Vigor OR Mastery of Nature 3. Voidborne 4. Master Builders 5. Galactic Wonders. 6. Colossus Project 7. Circle of Life Not sure between EV or MoN and if that would be a good order of progression for things. Some input would be appreciated. Militarist/Fanatical Materialist if you're wondering.
