SVN 1050 - Ranged Bombardment from Ships V's city defenders.
Range bombardment doesn't seem to be working for Destroyers/Iron clad battleships and earlier vessels V's city defenders.
I might only have a success rate of 20%, but when I get a green notification, it won't damage the defenders.
I can bombard defences down, no problem, but can't gain ranged bombardment against the city defenders.
All units have ranged bombardment abilities, and I have it enabled (Checked this 1st)
I remember it working for later ships in a previous version, has something been changed and not updated??
2nd item, Republic.
Its too easy, once you get a critical mass of cities, and have built the infrastructure in those cities to run Republic.
I my self, in my current game, have 110 Cities, 2 I'm trying to lose, so 108.
I can run Republic, with 30% Culture, and 25% science rates, and still be making gold each turn.
NO cities are building wealth, they only build science, once they have completed builds.
I can make MORE science, at a lower rate, then I could in Federation, even with the 'Cost penalties.
Solution, make the city cost, a log rhythmic function above a certain number of cities, scaled to map size. Normal maps, say 7-10 cities, scale from there. That way each additional city, ABOVE the 'ideal' level, will exponentially increase the city maintenance cost.
