<t> This mod pushes DW:U into new territory. And that, I think, is why the AI struggles at times. To balance things, I now restrict myself to playing "in-character". IE: no more Mr. Nice Eldar/Necron, what have you; selecting thematically-appropriate governments, no tech-trading, no stealing the ...

Bloodly- Thanks for that. Saved me a lot of typing!

<t> Well, I modded the research folder to allow Tyranids the same construction tech as eldar et all. And, well, they are BEASTS! Literally and figuratively. I had no trouble DOMINATING the galaxy. I love the regenerative hulls and uber expansion capability. I also REALLY like the thematic boon/nerf ...

Mensrea- I misspoke. There aren't any other races besides tyranids with this problem that I know of. Also, I tried to start a normal Tyranids game, and there was no construction module that I could find.
Cheers!

Am I missing something? I mean how am I supposed to build anything but colony ships without a construction yard? I'm referring to the Tyranids, and some other races, who cannot research orbital assembly stuff.

<t> By native life I mean all those non-sapient critters.<br/>

Oh, the Dark Eldar should have genetic engineering as a legacy. Most dark eldar are born from cloning vats (vs. the trueborn, who are born the natural way). That's how they keep their population up despite their masochistic ...

<r> I thought the eldar were fond of the Hrud: <I><s>[i]</s>"the Hrud are an aggressive but not malevolent race, and one of the few intelligent species of the galaxy the Eldar do not regard as little better than semi-evolved cave-people, perhaps because of their common origin as wards of the Old ...

I've been away from the intertubes b/c I just moved. But I'm back. And I'm loving the new eldar. Esp the Dark eldar; they strike a good balance between ultra-spying, and generally lousy governance.

Is it heresy to run Imperials on a democractic gov?

<t> For all that happiness, I had to steal the trader legacy tech, so as to put the enhanced cloning facility on a spaceport. There were a lot of bonuses from planetary dev- basically, I owned 2/3 of the galaxy at the time, so whatever boosts ork happiness, I had it coming in. As well as the wonders ...

<t> Also of note: I have NEVER had the chaos plague hit. I have always managed to win or be eliminated before they came.<br/>
<br/>
-Additionally, the eldar should HATE to go to war, IMHO. They are a dying race, after all, with lifespans up to 1000 years or more.<br/>
Remove their natural bonus ...

It's easy to capture the necron ships with terminator garrisons!

<t> Naturally, this is just my humble opinion.<br/>
Settings: All normal. Small (400x400) galaxy, 10 random empires, no tech brokering<br/>
Diff: Hard, increasing as towards victory<br/>
<br/>
Most game-breaking thing ever: Stealing the legacy techs. Although somehow, it's super hard to steal ...

<r> Neurotic govs sound very much like Democratic Anarchists in Revelation Space.<URL url="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factions_in_Revelation_Space#Demarchists"><LINK_TEXT text="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factions ... emarchists">http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factions_in_Revelation_Space ...

<t> Mensrea- Thanks again for this awesome mod! Playing the Eldar true to form makes it much more challenging. I think I'll try them out this weekend, with your new update.<br/>
<br/>
Regrettably, I haven't read the book on government that you referenced earlier in the thread, so I'm sorry for an ...

<t> Point Defense. My starbases are only building point defense and no other weapons. I've got to manually design them, which is fine- I do it anyway, b/c of them building way too many tech labs. I do use the eldar weapon.<br/>
<br/>
I am so not faithful to the lore. The truth is, I find DW pretty ...

<t> I gotta say, I'm just LOVING the eldar love fest. I mean everyone loves those wacky guys. I've got orks living with imperials and Laer. And everyone is just HAVING A BALL! <br/>
<br/>
They're the feel good hippies of the new 30th millennium, with their ultraliberal Unification government ...

Consistently getting CTD now, after any long game. Not sure why. Any chance someone could look at this save?
Oh how do I upload a save?

While totally contrary to the lore, I like the idea of a society of robot overlords offering safe harbor to weaker races.

<t> Exactly! I am having major financial problems as necrons. The only way my economy isn't in the red is because Laer and Interex have migrated and reproduced like mad. In a matter of years, the necrons will be completely outnumbered by their subject populations.<br/>
<br/>
Granted, my ships are ...
