After giving myself some time holding off from a knee-jerk reaction to remove that starting tech, I started thinking about my short stint with the Soul Calibur competitive field. There, balance testing was performed by the best players possible; perhaps we need to be doing faction testing on the...

I could give it a shot, but as we're working with indexed palettes, and the indices seem to be different for every portion of the game the images are used for, I don't know if that would work or not. I'll test a 1-frame .flc and get back to you on that.

lol the blue IS the game's normal palette. :P

Okay, I finished Oblivion's FLC. I debated doubling images up in random order for the full 27 frames that the FLCs usually are, but I figured you had the image count for a reason. I also tried to keep the original colors but it turns out the game does weird crap to EVERY color indexed in the...

Striker - Your input would be very valuable, too, if just to add to the sample size, lol Kilkakon - Ah, crap. I see that -5% interest/-ECON didn't do a whole lot against him, huh? It's probably best if I just leave him at Psych. And yeah, I have a ton of refs of German Architecture to look at...

Alright then, I'm going to devote tonight to image-related things, then, while I let you do your thing, lol

Was not aware that land bases were supposed to be random - but even then they definitely don't seem random to me if they pull the same choice for the second land base every time.

Oh, and last request - Let me know if the second base autoname for Terrans is "Psych Institute" or something else, and if the second base autoname for the Victorians is "New Buckingham" or something else. I'm not sure if it's just my copy of the game or if those .txts are messed up in some...

Only changes I made to him were some typo and formatting fixing in his datalink entry, so if you don't mind not having those yeah, it's still relevant.

Yeah, I'm finding it hard to trust myself on my own views as to whether a faction is balanced or not, so I'd like some second opinions. I appreciate it, dude.

I agree with everything but the bold - the art style was great for me. I just wish the game had more substance under the style.

For now I'm just going to reduce ++INDUSTRY to +INDUSTRY and make no other changes. I'm uploading the BIGBRO.txt and also including updated Datalinks. #DATALINKS1 ^LEADER: {Julia Stewart} ^BACKGROUND: {European Union, British Ambassador} ^AGENDA: {Security from all Threats} ^TECH...

Short update: the change in focus didn't seem to do much in regards to probe teams, but Stewart was definitely full up with combat units on her own side of the territory line with that ++INDUSTRY, which suggests that even if she's not probe-heavy as an AI she's at least now capable of being a...

Just grabbed the .rar. I've got a doctor appointment tomorrow and a surgery at some unknown time so I probably won't have anything done until the end of the weekend.

Hooboy. At least the formula's enough to allow me to make a start and whittle away from there, though. Right? I'm replacing the +SUPP with another +IND and seeing how that works out. When I mean struggling, yeah, I was referring to the research. She didn't seem too horribly off in regards to...
