I was really sad when I realized that taking a free folk village (and/or hex perk) on was not a guaranteed reward on Hard. IMHO it makes exploration feel much less rewarding . Related : 105beta20 Not getting anything when taking a village I would like to emphasize the importance of not trying to bal...

Have found nothing in the patch notes, in my current game Model still seems to roll Technician/Inventor.

[126n2] Wrong popups for Skills Improvisation, Inventor and Technician (since 1.21e)
Your table has neither Inventor nor Improvisation for Model, and 2 in Technician.

The wording in a recent update made it clearer : Changelist 1.26k2(#219) -Major Fix with AI regimes not being set to a story mode (friends, blackmail, etc) and subsequent events not triggering. This has been fixed for new games and running games (retro-active fix will take a new round to go into eff...

ShEmp is a very complex game - it can be hard to figure out what is going on even with screenshots - please upload a save ?

This sounds like a bug, considering how every other job works - have you reported it ?

(The worst thing about advisors is probably how easy it is to forget about attaching/detaching them...)

One aspect that is very different in ShEmp compared to other 4X is how you do research (among other things) with Bureaucratic points. This ought to be more than referenced in passing in the How to Play section. The Reports => Help mini tutorial ought to have a mini-section too mentioning it. (I don'...

Changelist 1.21e (#182) [...] -Model Designer Director now uses Inventor, Technician and Improvisation Skill for extra rolls on the rolls for Structural Design (Inventor) for first version and for later versions: Base Design (Technician), Armour Design, Weapon Design and Engine Design (Improvisatio...

Considering how the 4. How to Play section is basically the game's full tutorial, IMHO it ought to be placed as nearly at the beginning of the manual as possible : certainly before the exhaustive 3. The Interface section (because new players might feel that HtP is repeating the tI information if the...

And no "Direct Connect" (or PBEM) option either ? Please don't buy games that don't have these as a backup option. Compare with the "GameSpyPocalypse" : https://www.techspot.com/article/2170-gamespy/ (The author is very positive about things like Steam MultiPlayer, but they forge...

I thought folks here might find this interesting. ;) https://archive.is/c4XbV [...] The Operational Wargame Series (OWS) is a tabletop game that allows the players to simulate combat between 2025 and 2050. The game is focused on the operational level of warfare and ties in the effects of military ca...

Indeed.
I remember being somewhat confused about this too...
but then looked at the combat details (which IIRC record this effect)...
and... was not confused any more ??

it would be yet another bug if the estimated troops can only go up, but not down BTW, from the above testing, there's no bug like this here, just lack of me paying attention : at least one of these 3 different troop counts can indeed go down : as I have seen during this specific test for the one us...

What is their happiness ? Is it someone governing a city with bad population/worker happiness ? How close are their profiles to yours ? Their factions' ? Next version has the correct mouse over... -2 Rel if High Heroism. Note that this is a simple check if heroism > 1d100 then -2 Rel. Thanks for rep...

But most of the time you can just... open you one you got with the game / latest update.
(In the /ShEmp/Manuals/ folder.)
And for those that go through the Launcher instead of directly opening ShadowEmpire.exe, there's a Manual button there, opening it !

[...](i.e. "place a truck station in hex ##,## to optimize supply from hex XX,XX to YY,YY") would be a great help. Some kind of helper that interactively shows, for instance when you select a truck station/depot that you just ordered, where exactly the logipoints will start to fall off af...

It will probably be more opportune to have the Militia Chief in your cabinet once the Militia Profile actually starts decreasing due to you recruiting regular troops. Right, so it's confused wording, instead of "keeps happen", which suggest that it will "stop happen" once they'r...

Upload save please ?

So, after more testing , the troop numbers corresponding to Defensive Power (before modifiers), seems to be the ones not multiplied by 100 : the ones showing up to the left, and also in the Odds popup (unsurprisingly, I guess). Save before combat (with Recon not maxed out yet, so wrong numbers) : ga...

4.) In defense it seems to get trickier. I'm testing against Rifle Militia, the stats for which somehow seem to be exactly the same for my militia as well as the Free Folk Marauders. (I guess one could imagine that we start the game just as they split into two polities : my polity and the "rebe...

3.)
2(00) Rover Recon Buggy = 144 OP
so
