Greetings Folks,
I am post 250 turns into an Excessive map with 13 Majors and all Minors. I have found some issues that I think should be looked. How can I post a save game or two?
- Approval relics are not affecting my empire. I have 6 and should have a 60% reduction across the empire and they are not showing or reducing my 'empire wide' unhappiness which is keeping me all the way down to 42%. I spent time and research to get a few tiers into Archeology only to discover they are NOT working at all.
- Majors are inhibited somehow. After 50 turns the Iconians, and 3 other player created AI did not make a single Colony ship and after 250+ turns are still at 3 colonies yet have at least 2 colonizable planets NEARBY! I even grabbed one from the edge of Iconian influence thinking I would lose it but he has not built anything at all. I gave tech, cash and he still ignored planets and did not expand.
- The empire wide penalty is harsh. I only have about 29 colonies and I am sunk at below 40%. On Maps where there literally 100s of colonizable planets this would kill your game.
- I have had Zero Crashes but I am still having my mouse 'bounce' from zoom in to zoom out when I try to do either with my mouse wheel.
- I have created sensor wagons after hearing about them. I can see exceptionally far and still I do not consider this an exploit but a part of the game. Keep them in.
- Game is fluid with no drops in frame-rate but... my turns are long, about 13 or more seconds on 'wait'.
- No issues but its seems like some Ai are doing what they should (Altarians, Drengin, Krynn) but so far many more are sitting Idle and not expanding at all.
Meh here is a link to a drop box save game maybe this will work..
