RE: What determines which epochs you get?

I've turned these off but I actually like them, especially if AI had something remotely similar I'd turn it back on.

RE: Bounced off again

Manual will be updated later I'm sure of it. In the mean time, read it, half your points are already there.
Personally I loved the first time I played it, had to figure things on your own, just like the old days.

RE: Does the AI build sealed roads and rail?

I'm also put off by the AI completely ignoring logistics. Why I prefer simpler logistics system but one the AI actually uses. Ie. Ageod games.

RE: High Wages or Low Wages?

<t> You raise wages only if you must, just like in the real world. That doesn't have to be in this particular turn, could be an event incoming soon or some other things happening in the game.<br/>
So do everything to keep everyone happy without raising wages. Soldier wages, have enough for positive ...

RE: Units with energy weapons / engines won't refuel

Sounds hella weird...
So your units gets all the required supplies except energy? Have you checked your SHQ Logistics? Bottlenecks? Could be as simple as your assets eating all that energy available from the storage.

RE: Any large Scale wars? Lategame?

<t> Play on large planets, if turn times are tolerable for you. Regen [younger planets (->weaker carnivores)] planets until you have at least two majors in each side of the planet with a bunch of minors neighboring them.<br/>
Preferably there should be lots of farmers or hunters and not so many ...

RE: Really getting tired of impervious creatures

Second the suggestion these creatures probably shouldn't affect borders at all, I mean backstabbing minors are more than enough for that. One of the few things in this game (surprisingly enough) that's both genuinely annoying and IMO, unrealistic.

RE: On Siwa planets

I have no idea what that means or relates to...because you can have thousands of mm rain in Siwa and the planet is anything but dry. So I think this is a text oversight that could be fixed.

RE: Administrative Strain

I don't think so. But it's not hard to see which are >=6 hexes away. Generally, a 1-2 within 10 hexes is no issue. You may sometimes extend the area of another zone that's closer to those assets instead of creating a new city.

<t> 5.3.4 in the manual gives a good breakdwon what it is and how to combat it- so yes build a new city if there's several assets or resources nearby and or the penalty (to governor bonus) is greater than 10%. You want new cities anyways, more bureaucracy points and manpower, as long as you can feed ...

AI Fog of War

Does the AI play by that rule as the human player? Do they actually need to scout and act accordingly or do they have a maphack? I'd love to start a new game with complete FoW, more clasic 4X but I don't want a cheating AI that brakes all immersion.
