As for the nuclear warfare. Note that on easier difficulty the AI will be less likely to research the needed techs quickly.
Also I wanted to say I hope along the line somewhere to improve diplomatics and also get some sort of rules in where all out destruction with ICBMs could be avoided, especially in a MAD scenario.

It might be a good idea to have a "no nukes" setting.
Games like Supreme commander and it's successors usually had a game start option for that. I think it was called "no game ender".
Smaller weapons (like nuclear RPG) are still allowed, but nothing like ICBM.

Has the AI using nukes been a problem for you guys? I was thrilled to see it finally using them! And if you have the right techs the effect is really fairly minor.

I have a problem. This is the first non-weather site I check every time I turn on my PC.
And I cheer every time there is a patch.
Sigh....

Private Sector Building Oddities
Farm costs:
AFAIK, farms are the only buildings that do not have a credit cost progression - is this intended?
I found that 1000cr for the smallest farms really holds the private sector back, as it tries to build that first - unless, maybe, the player builds a farm first. But then, the player build farm start out very small and provides no food to the populace unless emergency food is allowed ... .

Transport Hub upgrading:
100 turns in, and the private sector still has not upgraded the "Transport Hub I".
Yes, I know the game heavily promotes state run public transport, but I'd rather restrict that to the railway ... .

I've noticed that nothing other than farms gets upgraded beyond level 1
I've also noticed that the AI never builds Xeno farms, hunting, or ports, even when they would be viable.

Odd thing on diplomacy with other Majors. Open Contact has a higher difficulty with a better relationship, which seems counterintuitive.
I experimented with Plea for Friendship and every time I played it on a certain regime, the difficulty of open contact increased.

I experienced the same effect with trade agreement that was, however, limited to the same turn I played plea for friendship in. Next turn it was actually easier than before.

Some time ago Vic announced that he was not using the shared data that a player can enable. Is this still true?

Can housing levels be manually decreased in order to manipulate migration?

After installing version"i" and running a save games one of my good allies was suddenly at war with me/ Ouch. And no sign of the housing stuff in the saved game. Must be a new game only feature?

Very interesting concept/mechanic.
As always Vic, thank you so much for this great game & your, continued, support of it. Still my #1 pc 4x game after all the years of playing many of them

Yes, you can disband levels and adjust the percentage of the housing asset worked

I still havent played the very last version in case this is addressed already.
But can you take a balancing look at cloning building?
I cant help but feel that its extremely broken. Basically as soon as you get one, its game over for the AI. I really think they should have a fixed population increase (+a few hundred), and then maybe enable multiple levels to be stacked, rather than having it scale with population size. Like 100 turns in, you can get 500.000+ population and insane per turn growth, like mutliple thousands from this single asset...
