RE: Does the AI build sealed roads and rail?

My point is more that if the AI can't handle the logistic system why are the players forced to use it? Everyone else in the game gets a free pass other than you, I wanted to play a game not a logistic sim

RE: Does the AI build sealed roads and rail?

<t> It is ignoring the main game element though because it doesn't use logistics at all. It can have troops in the middle of the desert 50 tiles from any town and still fully resupply 100 troops, something the player the can't do. <br/>

RE: High Wages or Low Wages?

<t> Most of the time when I look at where my money is going, the wages is barely anything since you don't really have that many people you're really paying. A wage of twenty might seem really high but you're only paying that to one person. The only time salary gets high is when you have too many ...

RE: Plunder event

<t> Lot of events can trigger with any unrest sadly. I've had workers strike on turn 2 because you start the game with 60 happiness and that's enough for them to strike. Pretty much always expect some kind of unrest event if you have over 1 unrest and some kind of strike or people unhappy event if ...

RE: Trying to better understand Strategems

<t> Well it also doesn't help that the call to power cards need a massive amount of PP to use, like call to power 3 needs about 150ish pp for such a minor effect of a small amount of troops going rebel. I tested it out with a cheat to see what would happen if I used a bunch of the call to power ...

RE: Trying to better understand Strategems

<t> It's not just the MG that are strong at defense but also look at what posture the AI is playing for it's troops. Almost every game that I've played they always just use defense postures which makes them very bad at attacking. Sure they'll get up all in your grill with their units but they won't ...

<t> You have a history option for the planet to have a very small size for colonization, is it possible to have one that does the opposite? One where it was heavily colonized so the population was like in the billions? That way you can have a map with a lot of ruins on it and I believer a slightly ...

RE: [1.04b8] Exploit? Mothballed Assets Need LPs, but Not

Wouldn't that make sense though? Mothball means that you're not using it currently but might again in the future. Close, the other option, means to actually remove the asset after a few turns
