Adding full save folder with each saved named a bit silly (sorry about the seperate attachments, the form kept getting refused. Major events should still be clear though. Also adding screenshot of my main fleet. Picking up Inciting Parasites was a huge powerspike for its cost. One other issue: Instigators can be savescummed for their type, which meant I could reload the save each time to get an instigator I could safely ignore. I would make their spawn based on the map seed to avoid this issue, like ARS rolls. The_Bulk_of_the_fleet.png (147,570 bytes) |

Made two new bugs for what seemed to be erroneous behavior in my mind by the AI. The Praetorian Guard camping on norg V in particular seems like a bug. |

Okay, I have first of all change it so that you no longer get the science boost and similar from killing phase 1. Also, secondly, that big overhaul of phase 2: https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Multiplayer_Alpha_And_Beta#The_New_AI_Overlord_Phase_2 I also made some adjustments to the logic for defenders when this is in phase 2, but I can't tell yet if it's fully doing the job. |

And the last bit. Thanks! * Logistical command station balance adjustments: ** Tractors down from 14 to 10. ** Forcefields down from 6 to 3. ** Gravity generators down from 6 to 3. ** Base allied speed multiplier down from 3.5x to 2.5x, plus 0.5x per mark rather than 1x per mark. ** Metal production down from 120 base + 80 per mark to 90 base plus 50 per mark. ** Energy production down from 250k base + 100k per mark to 175k base + 50k per mark. ** These are no longer quite such a huge standalone middle ground between economic and military. The goal is for people to use all three kinds, just in various ratios. These are also just not quite as good at slowing down enemies to a ridiculous degree like they used to be. * Military commadn station balance adjustments: ** Tractors down from 22 to 16. ** Immobile forcefields down from 4 to 3. ** Allied attack multiplier down from 1.25x to 1.1x, and amount added per mark down to 0.15 rather than 0.25. ** Defensive cap multiplier also down from 1.33 to 1.15. ** Metal production down from 60 base + 40 per mark to 50 base plus 20 per mark. ** Energy production alerted from 40k base + 20k per mark to 70k base + 10k per mark. ** These planets were such insane roadblocks for the AI that the only thing offsetting them was player metal and energy. We want these to combo well with economic, but it was just a bit too much. The economic changes also make it more stand-alone on the energy side, but less so on the metal side. * Economic command station balance adjustments: ** Forcefields down from 2 to 1. ** Gravity generators up from 0 to 1. ** Metal generation up from 250 base + 200 per mark to 400 base + 220 per mark. ** Energy generation up from 400k base + 200k per mark to 500k base + 240k per mark. ** These changes make them slightly more vulnerable even than they were before, but good grief can these power a ton of other planets in terms of metal and energy. |
