Just wrapped up a game on round 122, regular difficulty, regular virtus.

Overall, I really liked the new Republica features. I started as a Meritocracy, slipped into Oligarchy, and emerged as an Aristocracy for the last 10 turns or so. The inevitable virtus crisis did not necessarily stop me from ...

From the manual:

"""
5.4.2.7. ARACHNIDS
A non-human Minor. These spider-like creatures are on the verge of
consciousness and are found on many Planets. They have very tough
carapaces and slow metabolism and they survived almost everywhere they
were present when the Dissolution War happened. Why ...

Yes, but only because I'm a super fan and don't mind tossing a few more dollars at Vic.

What features/mechanics actually changed that you would point out as an indicator of this shift?

You say:

Over time, small changes have made the opening one to two hours harsher and more dramatic, while steadily degrading the tempo and play of the mid and late game

What changes? Can you ...

I enjoyed that it opened up potential for different play style and tactical/strategic challenges. Plus it made Earth-like planets with large oceans feasible from a mechanics perspective.

I play with it enabled all the time, but I still find invasions/contracting very challenging to manage and the ...

As an example, so you can tell if something is broken:

In this example I have sent spies to Heliumspire. I have 37 recon rating and 1 active spy in the zone. But, the number of spies in a zone decreases over time. So keep in mind you may need to send more ...

Ah, so they're not strong individually but Chitinous gives it armor, and social means they will group together in bigger numbers. 5100 is a pretty big group. Higher tech machine guns would slaughter them eventually.

Well, bad luck on that run. Hope another game goes better.

If you don't want any herds of animals, generate a world without alien biology. Try generating a new world, and select a Seth class (for example). Those are often lifeless but not quite as extreme as a moon or planetoid. Alternatively a very young world under 1 billion years of age shouldn't have ...

The learning curve can be frustrating. We've all been there with this game. As far as I am aware, there is no easily accessible button to turn off the recon mechanic. I don't know exactly what your situation is, but I recommend the following to get you into a more fun part of the game:

-Start on ...

Most likely, the unit you are trying to move does not have enough Action Points (AP) to move there. Marshes have high AP cost for wheeled and tracked vehicles, and higher than baseline cost for infantry.

To get detail on why, select the hex, then hover your mouse over the little picture of the ...

I'm heading out on vacation for a bit, but briefly:

Unfortunately no saves with the rebellion bug actively happening.

The division issue should be observable any game.

Thanks Vic!

I am a longtime player, so take this with a grain of salt because I've played many campaigns, but I would really appreciate if the AI decision making process for ship design was tweaked slightly in a few areas.

1) During the transition from predreadnoughts to dreadnoughts, I feel the AI ...

A couple of non game-breaking bugs noticed on new game started on .79 beta.

1. Something seems to be wrong with rebellions. On two occasions I have seen 1 or even 2 consecutive messages indicating the rebellion in a region is successful, and the region gains independence, only for the next turn to ...

Strange.

Just to confirm, it seems like verifying files has fixed your issue? Have you checked if your anti-virus may be interfering with your game at all?


Negative as far as the Russian save. Verifying and then playing I still get the same error. It's possible verifying prevented an error ...

Thanks for the report. Have you tried any of the other nations? Have you tried verifying Steam files?


I started a new game as Italy today. Eventually got into war with Austria Hungary. Generated a light force action in the Mediterranean just fine.

Before I started the Italy game today, I ...

Are other folks able to fight campaign tactical battles in .76? I got a consistent access violation error in my campaign. I have a tech support thread, just wondering how everyone else is getting along.

A couple fundamental things would need improvement.

1870s or 1880s style battles would need to be fought at extreme close range, so close that the exaggerated size of the ship icons could start to be a problem. Even at very low speeds, you would need to click a lot to keep the ships in engagement ...

Access violation error in beta .76 when generating a tactical battle.

Narrative: I started a new game on beta .76 as Russia. I am fighting my first war this campaign, against Italy. It appears that any time the game tries to generate a battle that a) requires a ...

I have seen the AI do this before, in a situation where they lost their only water source on a very arid world.
