I mean editing alpha.txt or alphax.txt to produce changes in gameplay ie increasing road movement from 3 to 4. What kind of modifications have you made and would you recommend?
Many people feel air units, especially 'copters, are overpowered. I would suggest reducing needlejet range to 8, 'copter range to 5, and doubling the cost of all air units. They would still be valuable and worth beelining too, but not immediately game-ending.
4. Attack is grossly favored over defense. I suggest:
a. Increasing base defense bonus from 25% to 50%
b. Increasing sensor defense bonus from 25% to 50%
c. Increasing ECM defense bonus from 50% to 100%
d. Increasing AAA defense bonus from 100% to 125%
e. Increasing resonance bonus from 25% to 50%
Yeah, helicopters are deadly. Once I have em, that's usually the end of the game. The problem there seems more AI-related than a function of airpower itself. (And this may not be true at higher difficulty settings.) If the AI were smarter in responding to helicopter attacks, I wouldn't rely so heavily on them at the midgame stage.
BIG illogical decision to give FREE MARKET the -5 POLICE! Sheesh. No one
would want to take that Social Plan, unless also taking POLICE STATE. So it
would be a society with a "Police State Free Market"... and that just doesn't
make sense to me.
Morgan Industries, The Mogul, Morganites, M, 2, Morgan, M, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1,
TECH, Indust, ENERGY, 100, SOCIAL, ++ECONOMY, POPULATION, 3,
COMMERCE, 1, SOCIAL, -SUPPORT
A +2 ECONOMY will give him lots of energy credits to instantly launch an
attack by buying high-tech gadgets if necessary, but the "-1,0,0,1,1" means
"ai-fight, ai-power, ai-tech, ai-wealth, ai-growth" which should make the ai
want to seek wealth and growth but not combat and Council influence. This
seems a safe balance.
've changed it to:
Police State, DocLoy, +EFFIC, +SUPPORT, ++POLICE, ---GROWTH
This makes more sense. Fascist governments are always more efficient at
distributing wealth, and the GROWTH -3 because people are less inclined to
breed under tyranny...
Yeah, I noticed that, so I've reduced research speed to 40%. Quite a nuisance when playing Miriam, but since I nearly never do that, I manageCataphract887 said:if you made people only need 1 food not 2,its way to fast.i already tried doing these changes and IMHO take away from the fun of the game,but of course if you like it play it
I guess the cave I'm living in is called PLATO'S CAVE!! You know, the one
where everyone looks at the shadows on the wall and calls it reality, while
the one who looks OUTSIDE the cave and sees the color, the dimension, is
called crazy??? Free nations are terrible at distributing wealth. It gets wasted
in such things as "kickbacks", "corruption", "lobbying", "fraud", "gerrymandering"
the list goes on and on... It takes a fascist to simply wipe out all the snouts in
the trough, irrespective of anyone's rights. I'm not saying a Police State is a
good thing, in reality, I'm simply trying to translate the facts of life into a game
scenario to reflect the choices available to a world-creator...
