On the other hand your regime has beaten most others on the planet to "graduate" from minor to major. So you can expect the previous leadership to be reasonably competent, and at least key people were probably in the right positions.

<t> Maybe they are like Dune's Guild that will carry everything including assault forces to enemy territories. The air bridge mechanic can be adapted for sea travel as well, with a point from a port to a desired place on another landmass (maybe with less tonnage restrictions but cost per weight move...

<t> I do agree that in some cases the current system just looks unrealistic. Like how sometimes a village militia will join you after an event and then promptly begin starving in their home village. Similarly, a zone that previously worked fine as independent shouldn't break down economically becaus...

<t> The percentage of agriculture economy is on the colonization page and represents situation during galactic republic. So for a planet with a large population you could have 99% of jobs be in "services" - you just don't need billions of people to run agriculture or mines on a planet with GR tech l...

<t> Actually planets can easily roll bigger radius than Earth, just not by much. Earth's radius is aroud 6370 km, while I've seen planet radius go to around 6.8K. Gravity can go significantly higher, though it depends on planet class. Hydra tend to be lightest (not counting moons and planetoids), ne...

This model attacks 4 times per round (as indicated in the icon with 3 triangles). If you multiply the numbers by 4, they match (the way combat calculations work, average number of hits the unit will deal does not change if attack is split into several that add up to the same number).

A round is 6 days of fighting. Artillery can be deployed in at most a few hours. It could perhaps get a penalty on the first round though. One possible advantage self-propelled artillery could have is being able to fire on units that broke through.

<t> That transition period can be simulated by making a new completely new generation of gear start from zero testing.<br/> Although on the WWII fighters specifically, I'd say that the issue with Me262 was largely lack of numbers, and the inability of Germany by 1944 to produce enough planes to chal...

<r> Your first screenshot doesn't show the full atmospheric composition, things like sulfur dioxide can lead to insidious atmos hazard even when in "trace amounts" category .It really shouldn't be dangerous on <I><s>[i]</s>skin contact<e>[/i]</e></I> at concentrations like 150 ppm, which half the pl...

<t> I won't go into significant details in this post since they're discussed in many other threads, but I realized that there is one overarching point behind a large number of the things I'd like to see in SE.<br/> <br/> In my opinion it's a solid wargame (obviously, considering creator's experience...

Vic is focusing on another title, yes, however that is until its release on November 18th.

<r> My main point was exactly the issue of airbase construction not being fast enough to support shifting front lines.<br/> <br/> Making ultralights operate without airbases was just a part of one possible way of addressing it (shifting airbase sizes by 1)<br/> <br/> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>The entire ...

<r> At the moment I find that aircraft see little use until mid-to-late game, when repeatables bring the range of decently armed aircraft to at least 25. While the range of early aircraft of around 9 hexes is perfectly in line with WWII numbers, the airfiels actually take too long to construct. In f...

Doesn't the manual say that new leaders get bonuses to skills from your regime's levels? Adding another bonus systems on top of that may be too much. Also more elaborate headhunting is represented by different recruitment cards.

Or replace most of PP cost with credits, similar to how commercial gift works compared to estate gift.

University may get more usefulness in late game where with a large empire your throwing more BPs at research is itself subject to diminishing returns, plus a high rank university needs much less workers than a high rank Boffice.

<t> In MOO2 Orion was just a juicy planet guarded by a fairly powerful ship. In Stellaris terms, it was a size 25 gaia planet in a system with a leviathan. Although it had a cross between a FE and late game crisis in the form of Antarans - i.e. they only had one planet but sent increasingly difficul...

<t> Makes sense, though I guess it would be most likely present in farmers (strong defensive military) and perhaps religious fanatics (militarization for the sake of it). Raiders are martial focused, but generally not defense-focused (real life raiding cultures usually paid little attention to forti...

<t> I think it would be interesting to add it as a planet class. Since the habitable area in such a world would be only near the terminator, the map area would be more narrow than usual (but can still be as long as usual), with the temperature going from very cold on one side of the strip to very ho...
