<t> I'm honestly fine with naval mechanics without warships, being able to have planets with higher percentages of water coverage and water-based logistics is much more interesting. Ships have a far greater carrying capacity than trains, and could make coastlines and rivers as strategically ...

<t> The idea that modding support is a necessity for long-term communities also flies in the face of games that still have significant modding communities in the total absence of any tools or documentation to do so. Mods get created when people want to create them, and official support is not a ...

After one year we are still kept from doing mods for the game and only allowed to do visual modding and need to go along with the slow development without being allowed to add/customize content on our own.<br/>

The same is true for Morgana class as well it seems, just did a quick test.

<t> I've noticed during my frequent rerolling that Hydra planets seem to have a 100% chance of being created with an Insidious atmosphere, I have never seen them roll anything else at the biosphere stage.<br/>

Just finished my first game of Shadow Empire, gonna start on my second with this brand new patch.

The Hydra class planet is particularly welcome, water means lots of natural borders and chokepoints.

<t> It's probably a ratio of planet size to max pre-apocalypse pop. I generated a small planet with 3 billion people before the apocalypse (Max I'd ever managed) and I had tons of multi-hex ruined cities, generally 10 ruin tiles or bigger. Tbh it was probably TOO many ruin tiles.<br/>

Has anyone found the maths on how design rolls work out? So I can know if my rolls are above or below average for a model's Design/Structure scores

<t> If I develop a design with field testing but one of the design scores I want (Weapon/Engine/Armor) doesn't increase, is it fine to just put the design through development again until it does? I know successive models will increase the capacity for field testing points by +10, just not sure if an ...

<t> From my experience it wouldn't be worth it. Free/noncombat EXP gain seems to basically stop at around 25exp, as that's the amount that my subunits will have regardless of it I leave them in the SHQ or put into formations. Barracks generate training points which increases this exp gain, as does ...

<t> Firstly I don't mean dividing the world map as it currently is, but instead adding lower level subdivisions to be used for certain game systems. Also yes you can subdivide hexes and maintain tesselation, you end up with 7 main subhexes that are each 1/3rd as wide as the parent hex, and you can ...

What do you guys do to help balance the budget? I always seem to be in a weird situation of sitting on a lot of credits, but it's going down fast every turn, and the only way to replenish the stack is sell off rare minerals or some other ...

IP (same as metal) has unlimited storage. So you can just keep storing it for when you need it. No reason to sell or dump either of them.

IP has a storage limit, unless that's been changed in the most recent Beta.

If you click the "HIS" tab in the top bar you get to see all the moves made and combats done during the end of your previous turn and the start of your current one. It doesn't show detailed results but it does show you what took part in combat and what subunits were killed.

<r> Currently in Shadow Empire your production of power/fuel/IP will eventually far outstrip your average consumption and your storage capacity, and any excess is totally wasted. That level of extremely high output is necessary for managing usage spikes though (Like war, or constructing road/rails ...

<t> It's weird, because most of the time migration behaves itself, but I've had two cities in my current game that just started drawing in thousands of pop a turn from everywhere else for some reason. For one of them I had to start spamming forced recruiting cards to try and bring the population ...
