I would be interested in helping with testing. I'm about to start a new game anyway.

I do usually use some non orthodox settings: lots of space creatures and pirates, pirates don't come back, research set to 960K, pre-warp start with a few empires in advanced stages.

How are you going to handle the special resources? Will there still be spice in the universe? How's the AI handling the new stuff, especially the colony-only ...

They are for improving readability, but for some complex files like government I prefer to do an excel table for better visualization then transfer the values. AFAIK the only thing that counts are the commas, the tabs are just for helping you read.

It's how I remember, so it probably is from the remake.

That would be cool if you could though. Just think of it...Space Commies!

Actually, Corporate Nationalism is supposed to be space commies, so they are already in.

Great! Thanks for the Update and merry Christmas!

Wow, great stuff. Thanks!

<r> Well, Shark7, I agree with your wishes until Diplomacy: Alliances. I found your definition of alliances too... strict. For example, I don't think allies should be forced to go to war. Backstabbing should happen, nobody should be forced to automatically declare war. They should be asked if they ...

I completely agree with the OP and Ashbery76.

Is it fair that a pirate faction can raid you even if you have protection

I think so, they are pirates, after all, not a conventional empire. And it adds to the tension.

The point is, not every pirate will do it.

Myself, I love the new graphics engine, the responsiveness, and the overall allure of playing a small, backward empire among bloodthirsty pirates. I've never been so grateful to see a Precursor wreck and fix it - I badly needed it!
