Look at 5.4.1. MAJOR REGIME CULTURE. You can influence the type of diplomatic subculture they are using which can help get pacts you otherwise couldn't or provoke wars.

I would mostly agree with Thrake.
I do like that Hi-tech components are a slow and expensive resource to obtain that one has to carefully consider where to invest.

I would disagree with Thrake on Hydroponics though. Yes, since the nerf they are wasted where they are, but rather than moving them ...

Mea culpa, you are correct it is just 500 per turn. I was completely mislead by my memory having "Adjust recruitment down" as one of the routine automatic things to do on a new game, but thats just the recruitment bonus, while the recruitment numbers go up instead. I do still think that even with ...

Oh not for long, only until I got my first 3 or 4 light infantry brigades. I find that I usually end up with that before I can get to industry anyway.
But the reason I brought that up is that thats the default amount your city is set to recruit. And I assume that having to tell your starting city ...

I think those 180 ammo you are getting are probably militia reimbursement? The thing where militia pays for its own equipment so you are passively gaining the ammo they consume back. Otherwise I am unsure where that ammo would come from?
You are correct that mg units are twice as deadly as light ...

If you choose to start at tech 3 with an army you get a machinegun infantry brigade. One of those battalions consumes 160 ammo on the attack, 96 on the defense. On the attack 120, three quarter of the total and on the defense even a full 83% of that is due to the two mg units, despite those doing ...

When doing a tech 3 start with starting army you get MG units. However without an established ammunition factory actually using these machineguns is a complete trap and waste of resources early thats probably hiting a bunch of new players in the face and giving more experienced players just a bit of ...

I just completed my first long game with this mod and heres a collection of feedback:

- I like the nuke disable, as otherwise they always just come to early and make the entire 4th row of tech feel like an imminent doomclock that you need to finish the game before there is any substantial time ...

Thanks!

Sure, heres a save file and 3 images showcasing the issue.

Bug report: My late game artillery now requires both ammo and energy per combat round, but doesn't request any ammo, leading it to not do anything at all anymore. I assume the energy requirement comes wth the msri mode?

Today I come with a suggestion for how setting model types for formations could work.


First an overview over the problems with the current model of just using quality which this suggestion would fix:
- Long range Heavy Aircraft and short range Light Aircraft tactical formations mixing together ...

Heh, thats what being away from Shadow Empire for half a year and super tired does to a fibol. I thought to remember it was a 60% rebate originally. But beside that yeah I do think 80% for buggies is to much. Buggies are pretty decent combat units for quite a while, giving them out for mostly free ...

Another one for the next manual update: 5.3.6.4 Archaeology, subsection Archaeological finds, third paragraph still talks about the Archaoelogy Task of the Economic Council (which has been removed).

A different, but similar issue is that the 5th paragraph simply says that the chance to find ...

Is it intended that buggies and trucks have a pop divisor of 5, meaning one can get a full unit of buggies for just 100 pop?

Is it intended that buggies and trucks have a pop divisor of 5, meaning one can get a full unit of buggies for just 100 pop?

The entire Assault Infantry line I do not see much point in, I'd rather have infantry and tanks as seperate units, so those can go.
Same thing with the tank infantry formations, especially since the infantry component there is so tiny its just pure liability.
I am open to the idea that tank assault ...

Agree, conquer city missions should have their duration doubled. Often it'd take me about 8 turns just to walk there even if I didn't encounter any resistance.

The GR Chaingun tech mentions in it's description that it applies to conventional/flechette machineguns, but it also applies to laser machineguns at least.

I ran into the same issue and have attached a save file. One additional observation I made about the bug is that it is affected by foramtion size (I can raise independent Mech Quad machinegun and buggy regiments, but not battalions) and it may be just coincidence, but I noticed it starting right ...
