Thank you for continually adding new features. The leader portraits look very good, given DasTactics & Pymous mods they were the last visual element that felt off, hope other portraits will get the update too.

Seriously, congratulations. It's one of maybe 5 best games released in this millenium (past 2000).

<r> In a newly started game, faction leader has a Democracy- profile, despite leading a Democracy++ faction.<br/>

<t> With seniority being a unique number, recruiting more weak leaders into the pool, gradually makes them more important without ever being assigned a position, and as such no real chance to get any recognition. This paired with heavily disproportionate weights of recruit and retire stratagems (in ...

<t> While the idea is sound as having stratagems abstracts political opportunity for something like peace talks and the like, having a one-size-fits-all system means some actions turn out weird. Recruiting leaders at random somewhat assumes there's no screening process for, say, SHQ commanders ...

<t> Didn't know about autocracy. As for unification and annexation I'm fully aware it's possible, but it's not what I had in mind. It's not that I want to specifically spend extra resources to get militia just for the sake of it. I'm suggesting that having an entire complex mechanic get effectively ...

<t> I understand the idea that population militancy drops as civilization and regular military grows, but on higher difficulties, after turn ~30 it pretty much drops to 0 and the existing troops just wait to die out. Effectively it disables the entire militia mechanic quite early, and I think it's a ...

<t> Check the xeno crops agricultural details in the help tab. It's possible to roll a completely flora covered planet with edible crops suitable for a very atypical temperature bracket for that planet. I had a world with -30 - 20'C and xeno crops being barely growable at the poles with optimal temp ...

<t> It still seems like the "none" zones are some kind of a bug. Besides the remnant of that major, I have two others in my game. One non aligned and one territory, and if it's normally possible to spy on wild animals or mutants it looks more like something that just didn't get initialized properly ...

As in title, after taking a major's city the remainder of the zone turned into zone called "none". This zone is non intractable - no stratagems can be played on it. I suspect there's another city out there, since the regime wasn't defeated and the troops still make their moves.

<t> I seem to have missed something. The guide states that unlocking the basic infantry formation unlocks the motorized, mechanized and heavy variants. But I have assault infantry discovered, operationalized and fielded even, but I didn't get the motorized/mechanized/heavy assault infantry even as ...

I don't think I've even seen a leader with a single digit stat like this guy.

<t> Like the old games, many possibilities are handled numerically, that is, instead of listing something as explicitly impossible it's difficulty is set very high. That said, many zones are simply not open to any kind of diplomacy. Firstly, the territories, zones without a city can by controlled by ...

Thanks, it makes sense.

<t> So, when designing an artillery model several weapons are available. Initially (at Tech 3 start) it goes up to 150mm, later on it's 240mm and eventually 300mm. The question is however, what specifically unlocks those weapons? Is it tech research, developing models or something else entirely? Any ...

<t> Human body proteins coagulate if their temperature goes above 42'C. The organism is capable of dissipating them to some degree of course, 45'C temperatures are fairly common on Earth after all, but in scenarios I'm writing about, humans either get temperature shielding equipment (be it made up ...

<t> It's fairly easy to generate even a Siwa class planet with no atmospheric hazards, which has a desert belt with temperatures over 80'C. Essentially impossible for humans to survive, yet it requires no specialized equipment in-game.<br/>

Crude cooling suits exist already, and we're ...

<t> Much to my own surprise, I recently noticed that, as per manual 5.2.3.1. Exposure Calculation for your Units (p.158), only negative temperatures are included in exposure calculations for troop readiness. At the same time 5.5.2.1. Environmental Modifiers (p. 197) farming actually takes high ...

Wonderful, thank you in advance. It's the best game I played in years.

<t> It's reasonably well documented in manual under 5.6.4.1. Organizations (p. 214), but most of all there's an in-game report tab called "Organizations" that lists exactly what various budget categories do, and yes, most of them generate various stratagem cards.<br/>

As for the issue you ...
