This is the key point. The most valuable resource at any given time is whatever is holding you back from building the next thing, whatever is...
That one is brilliant. It comes across weaker because you're not playing the game, and you didn't get the first half a few techs ago.
Great info! While you're poking around at the alien code, can you figure out what the formula is for nests respawning?
You don't need the xenowell tech to get resources from a friendly nest. However, there is some weirdness on whether it counts or not. Best I can...
CEL Cradle: I think a covert agent is way better that a food bonus. Feedsite Hub is probably a toss-up.
I think the governor prioritizes a yield but doesn't necessarily max it. So on production focus, it still might pick a 4f1e tile over a 2p tile....
I think ranged units already defend like that, and the problem with ships is that for some reason they defend with melee strength.
I'm not colorblind, and I also have to mouse over tiles to check if there's miasma or not.
It's from SMAC. You can tell because it's complex and evocative and Lal actually reads it, instead of being dull and trite and delivered by the...
For the same reason they think monochrome icons and no strategic view are a good idea: they don't actually ever play their own games, so they...
That's the game in a nutshell. I'm honestly not sure what the developers spent all their time on. It wasn't game balance, it wasn't story, and it...
Liberation Army is a penalty, not a bonus.
I completely agree with everything The_Reckoning said.
The AI seems to have the same eternal-hatred logic as the old city-states. After I killed off Kozlov, three of them declared on me within two...
Or at all, actually. There are exactly four wonders that need it, with a total cost of 15 geothermal. And those wonders aren't even very good.
MD had ~15 floatstone after taking out the Slavs, but you can't see it because he hasn't bothered to build the quarries. He's currently past turn...
Forests were OP in SMAC. Maybe they just nerfed them too much.
I should clarify. I'm not saying flood plains are "omg nerf now" broken, but they are really really good. They're trade route good. And I think MD...
This thread is about how flood plains are crazy broken. But in the interest of being more than just "X is OP", here's all the terrain info. Most...
... but if you didn't have the virtue, wouldn't you just destroy the outpost in the first place?
