Good Stuff!

<t> That sounds like you've got a massive resource requirement at the other town?<br/> <br/> I managed to hugely handicap myself in a recent game by nationalising the food production in a newly conquered town, which of course didn't run at full capacity due to unrest. This then put a huge load on my...

<t> I've taken to quite often building at 75% / 50% construction speed.<br/> <br/> It often means that the building is completed slower, but it puts less strain on my SHQ's supply chain meaning that I have IP available to react to crises/opportunities and means that it's much more resistant to those...

Yes, I suspect that is Elite level play. Way beyond my meagre skills

You've definitely answered your own question

<r> Hi,<br/> <br/> Are you finding that a patch installer is giving you an error about your files being too low a version for the latest patch?<br/> <br/> The best solution is to ensure that your base files are synced up to the last full installer.<br/> <br/> Go to <URL url="https://www.matrixgames....

<r> Hi,<br/> <br/> The game probably wants you to have installed an official version that's later than what you've got. (Vic's files only copy over the source files, they don't manage the game updater)<br/> <br/> I would recommend going to <URL url="https://www.matrixgames.com/member/downloads/shado...

<t> I suspect it's as much an art as a science.<br/> <br/> I generally make a new one if there's a cluster of resources that are a distance away from any of my other zone towns.<br/> <br/> There's an inefficiency that kicks in when a zone has too many assets built at more than 6 hexes from it's town...

I've started to appreciate having a 6th sense person as a floating advisor who can attach to whomever is going to have to do a risky contested roll. Kinda gives a triple re-roll, especially if they're decent CAP and can get some points in all three fields.

<t> If you are able to upload an autosave from that game then there's a good chance someone on here will be able to diagnose!<br/> <br/> But yes, certainly sounds like something has gone catastrophically wrong with your populations food supply and your SHQ has had to step in to keep the populace ali...

Crime Raid and Crackdown on Crime.

Tooltip says they use an Operational Command Skill but the preview says that it's a Streetwise Skill Roll.

Result says that it's an Operational Command roll.

Which is it

If I remember an old conversation correctly, that's pretty much exactly what the Arachnids are! Essentially domesticated animals that have gone feral, thus why they're everywhere that Humans are!

<t> Shadow Empire is (like all of Vic's games) CPU bound.<br/> <br/> My Laptop:<br/> i5-9300H @ 2.4GHz<br/> 16Gb RAM<br/> <br/> My times:<br/> <br/> Silent (throttled fan performance): 2m 26s<br/> <br/> Unthrottled : 2m 02s<br/> <br/> Uses about 50% of my CPU cycles and 10Gb of RAM during an AI turn...

Thanks

What's the actual fix here? Change the description of Robinson Crusoe to say "No AI Majors"?

Having a guaranteed way to have only Player-run Majors sounds like a good thing for setting up MP games?

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Malevolence<br/> <br/> <br/> Ok, I get that. I've seen repeated events every turn.
