Did you have Nemesis checked? Also doesn't the AI gets some kind of boost on hard+ difficulty?

<r> Without Logistics the player will just run away with the game. Malevolence has made a post questioning if it even possible to lose a game. <br/>
I think Heavy tanks should be limited. Without fuel cost and logistics once I got heavy tanks why build light or medium tanks?<br/>

RE: White and gold pyramids

You have to build a Recycling Facility on the artifact.
You can see the rate at bottom right. 1:800 for example means you receive an artifact every 800 SP mined.

<t> Try to delete the south road and instead connect the water directly to the nuclear resource. See if it only pulls 200.<br/>
Also try to 100% at the intersection at the end of the red mark instead of trying to block at the city. <br/>

RE: [1.04-b6] Planets genning with little to no population on them

I think "Haven of calm" just makes the Major AI start either cold or friendly. "Severe Violence" makes the Major AI start either blackmail or hostile. Wouldn't checking both cancel each other out?

I would like the option of giving major factions a head start that way for example I can play on normal difficult and try to catch up with the AI hopefully by mid-game.

RE: Manpower shortage

Do anyone used robot solders even though they have high cost in resources?

p.s I noticed hydroponic food save not only water but workers more than dome farms. It's cost a lot of resource (hi-tech) but are better than domes in the long run.
