Question on Unit design and requests for improvement in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

So I bought FE:LE and I've been playing it for a week. I'm finding it to be a lot of fun (especially with all the choices you can make customizing faction/hero/units). I had read on another thread that factions played by the AI will try to incorporate custom player units into their production; this got me all giddy... and then I spent a few hours trying to optimize unit designs for all the default factions (for now). This got me to thinking, however - I've n

Reply to Custom Faction - Free Knowledge technology in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Am I the only one that's finding it bugged right now? It's actually granting a 20% bonus to research in my game. Does not grant the Knowledge Tech. EDIT: Correction, my fault. I was tweaking my Faction through a text editor (much faster than remaking the whole thing to change one thing) and inadvertently typed in "Scholar" instead of "ScholarsTech", which told the game to use the old version of the trait instead.

Hm, that's interesting, the Custom Races part. Every default race has a special AI algorithm, but what can you do with a Custom Race AI?

Reply to Miniaturization Exploit in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I guess that would be correct, I don't really know, I haven't checked. However, I know for sure that most component size increases in scale with each hull of increased size. For example, Basic Life Support is 2 pts for a Tiny Hull, but a Cargo Hull needs 5 pts for the same exact thing.

Reply to Does designing faster freighters bring any advantages? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I believe that as long as the route is within the economic starbase's sphere of influence, it increases the trade income from that route no matter even if the freighter is on the other side of the galaxy or right next to the starbase.

Reply to Ship combat algorithm in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

The ship has no weapons. It was deemed not a threat then, so therefore they don't target it.

Reply to Does choosing neutral give you a ship purchase discount? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I believe the manual specifically states the direct purchase prices of ships are lowered. Direct purchase is when you "Buy" the ship, not "Build" it. Did you make sure to check that?

Reply to Delusion in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

About the Minor Races... it might be bad for them to get competitive and expand. Most of them have some extreme ability bonuses. For example, the Akilians have a Base +70 Military Production Bonus, in addition to +25% in Influence, Research, Trade, Hitpoints, and a +50% in Diplomacy, amongst other minor bonuses.

About The Yor... in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

They're supposed to have a 100% Loyalty Bonus. Does that mean that, even with a 100% tax rate with 1% approval, none of your Yor worlds will ever defect or splinter off to form it's own civ?

Reply to Disable “Next Ship” focus? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I'd rather it not be turned off. I think there should be an extra command that tells the ship to "standby".

Reply to i tried.. but i just dont know how to build figters, and heavy fighters.. PLEASE HELP in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Try researching some hulls, if you want something bigger later on. Also, some techs when researched together yield some ship designs. Look in the Research screen.

Reply to How do I combine a fleet with a starbase? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Try having the military starbase near your world. Then you could build a fast intercept fleet. With a ton of engines, and maybe like +1 attack on each weapon type and defense type, they can gain all the bonuses from a maxed out starbase, and are mobile enough to reach anybody who tries to sneak by.Make sure you make them the smallest hull possible so you can fit many into one fleet. ANd, ships like these should be, hopefully cheap and fast to produce. The idea just popped into my head though, I

Never mind. I figured it out.

Reply to Economy Tip/Rant: Military / Social wasted allocation handled differently in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I think that giving each planet their own spending and production sliders can allieviate the waste of production or spending to a certain extent. Or maybe it'll fix up the whole thing. It is rather irritating when my homeworld needs to produces Colony Ships and Miltary Production, but my current new colonies need Social Production in order to actually be useful some time in the near-future (not near-never) If that's a little too much micromanagement when you get to 30+ colonies, provide a unive

Reply to Why must "good" always be penalized? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I'm just curious, but do the Drengin ever ally with somebody? I'm pretty sure Good Civs ally often with others of their ethical alignment, but I don't know about the Drengin, or some other baddies. About allies... there's a reason why there's an alliance option. It's there cause it's there. Well, I think being allied with others allows you greater flexibility when negotiating with them for techs or money, etc.

Curious about Planet Quality in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Hm. How fast and how much does the racial bonus Green Thumb and Magical scale up your Planet Quality? How about events that do the same thing? I've recently gotten an event that gave me +10% Planet Quality on a PQ 5 World.

Reply to Bug on custom race in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I've had points added to Social and Military Production, as well as Diplomacy. Sooner or later they max out and restart at the base point. I don't really know what's the cap for Logistics, though. I stopped at +70.

What affects maximum population on a planet? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I was wondering what affects max pop. on a planet. I know the amount of food generated affects population, but does planet quality have an effect? I've been looking at some forum posts and some people are saying that some of their planet pops cap out sooner than they should have, below the actual amount of food that gets generated at the planet.
