One thing I tested. (Late game 1500 strars galaxy)

Load the game in the strategic view. (Zoom out)
The game will be on pause.

Unpause the game and increase speed to 4x.

The game will not lag at all and if I touch nothing it will not lag, the ai will do its job controling my empire, etc.

BUT : If ...

One thing I am not with you is when you say the AI should have lower garnisoned unit...

It should have 10x more and remove the maintenance cost for unit for the Ai then we will talk.

With this, I would not be able to conquer 15 colony in 2 minute after a declare a war.

1. Garnison and ungarnison troop is a pain.
Yes I know I can go in the troop menu, shift clic troops to select all of them from a colony. But : You need to find the colony in the list or 3000 troops and 100+ colony...

Solution 1 : We need to be able to select multiple troops when the planet is ...

I noticed the same bug in all my game.
Sometime to my advantage, sometime to the AI advantage.

Diplomacy Bug :
It is not normal that I can trade the same special location with the same empire multiple time.
Exemple :
1- Load savegame
2- Go in diplomacy screen with The Great Boskara Hive,
3- Trade Deadly Lair or any special location for 100k or any amount of cash.
4- Do it multiple time with ...

Shockwave Torpedo L V2 have 4350 range.
Shockwave Torpedo L V3 have 4000 range.

I find it strange.

Energy collector is for static energy usage only.
It was like that in DWU

If' your ship do nothing it will not burn fuel if you have the static energy requirement.

Patch 1.0.2.1
The problem is here since day 1.
Game stop working when zooming in. It's random 1-2 crash per hour, happen only when zooming in with different method.

Zoom with mouse wheel.
Clicking an event that zoom on a ship for exemple.
Double clicking on a fleet hotkey to zoom.

Because it save fuel when the ship is idle.

Hi fierceking,

Does this include the AI improvement mod, or part of it?

It dont seem to be included, but to be sure.

Universe expansion was made to be able to mod the game.

It add some other thing, but modding is the major upgrade.

Play the game on extreme + Xtended Ai improvement mod from icemania and u will probably start to lose game.

What Universe will offer you:

Icemanie AI Improvement mod

Wait for a sale on Steam!
But you could pay the full price and you probably wont regret it.

<t> Do you have in the game option: <br/>
<br/>
1-Automated research, automated whip design.<br/>
<br/>
Do you have in the game design menu.<br/>
2-All ship with automatic design and automatic retrofit.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
I am almost sure you choose your research yourself, thats why it dont ...

I would suggest to run with fairly "normal" settings when new to a game, those settings ought to be pretty balanced.

You have a very weird galaxy setup going...

I approuve.

The major problem of this:

Your army should be able to hold the colony by force.

Usualy your army is loyal to you...

When this bug happen : One solution I use the editor.

What is the difference between Vanilla and Extended releases?

You better take the extended version.
More race, different strategy and more variety.
