Kitchner posted:I just think the problem with the ground combat right now is that a) it's a pain to micromanage, which could be solved with an 'army builder' but b) there's no meaningful choice, because once an invasion starts you don't usually have the time to send reinforcements or build more stuff on the planet. If troops were cheaper and easier to produce and wars against a defended planet turned into armageddon then yeah ground combat would be loving awesome. Having lightly defended convoys of troops funneling themselves into the meat grinder would be awesome. Its no longer *take 3 planets* its *spend the entire war trying to take a fortress world*, this would also make things like the strong trait way more relevant.

Nah endgame stuff needs to be beefed up or just do it in waves rather then 1 at a time. Unbidden should honestly keep trying to break in and establishing footholds until they succeed then you have to knock out their main gate to finally stop them. The scourge should hit a wide edge of the map with light forces to represent the scouts then have bigger and bigger fleets appearing until you get the whole hive fleet. The scouts will allow them to establish a presence while the hive fleet will be hammering at the gates.

Yeah i'd love to see planets with rampant overpopulation where building a colony ship at that point comes with a big happiness bonus. Add ethics divergence because weirdos begin crowding together and get overlooked. Add hive cities that raise the planet cap by like 4-5 and have them produce all resources but require a massive amount of food to function. A hive city is basically every building in 1 tile, its amount of things produced is only limited by population which you must now find a way to feed.

I'd love to see armies more conceptual in nature you merely say, "army group 1 attack this planet". There of course would be alerts like space defenses, planetary defenses, out of range, and upkeep cost. Make the combat long and drawn out so either side has time to respond before a planet falls and cause things like space superiority to affect upkeep cost. This way the defender could try to funnel their own army group into the fight at cost unless they send in ships and contest the space superiority. Basically make armies a missile. You build the missile at the planet and customize it. You select its target and it launches and travels there on its own, have it spawn 4 cool looking troop ships that are there for purely early warning purposes. Unless you control the space around the missiles target it will likely not reach it. Its a fire and forget so once its in space you don't worry about withdrawing or garrisoning it. It will just return to its home planet and rebuild itself. I'd love to see the defensive and troop related buildings on their own grid so the troop recruitment window would have its own grid where you'd stick things like clone vats, barracks, bunkers, and fortresses. This way you wouldn't interfere with the normal planet buildings and you could invest in fortress worlds. There's defensive buildings that almost never get used so this way you'd have separate grids for them so why not?

Holy poo poo i can't wait to turn Sol into a crazy fortress system with habitats around every planet to fund the giant network of fortresses.

Had my first precursor world stolen out from under me because it spawned in a hostile neighbors space--it should really be a research project tied to only your empire so it can't be taken.

Materialist is just down right boring, yay robots everywhere and i've out paced the entire galaxy in tech by an insane margin. Theres a few psi spiritualist neighbors but my economy is just absurd and i'd curb stomp the poo poo outta them if it ever came to war. The simple fact is robots grant an insane bonus because you can easily fill up a planet. Just because you believe in god doesn't mean you all of the sudden stop using toasters. Spiritualists should be allowed to use robots and droids but not synths.
