Re: Balance Mod Available for SE:V

Update - played to turn 134, and I had a peek into some AI turns to look for troubles with ship designs, diplo etc. :


Minelayer didn't work correctly, either, yet gave a hint at what might be...

Re: Balance Mod Available for SE:V

Yes!
Both the edited and the from-scratch design have 5 cargo bays, 1 satellite bay. Both fill up to 560 of 720 kt cargo (7 sats), then the vessels run away to sit right on top of the...

Some more troubles - this time with the sat layer minister:

Running fresh 1.19g with SmSys 1.07.

Re: Balance Mod Available for SE:V

Upon applying my tweaks to 1.19g, I found you added and removed some values from settings.txt vs. 1.19f, but I don't find that mentioned in the readme!? Deliberate or an editing error?

Yeah, great !

I'm sorry to say, though, that most likely you'll have to do another version :( ;)

I'm having a little bit of a problem with a movement point calculation oddity:

Re: Balance Mod Available for SE:V

Ok, here's my suggestion for tweaking the size of domed planets:

Make them size 2/4/6/8/10 instead of 1/2/3/4/5, that would reduce the gas dwellers average facility space advantage from 11% to 6%,...

Re: Balance Mod Available for SE:V

This is not true in SE5 - check the attached graphic.
Numbers are from an actual game, and show some interesting things:

- atmosphere distribution for rock/ice is nearly exactly 20% each, but 25%...

Re: Balance Mod Available for SE:V

Another way to compensate for that advantage would be to make gas giants slightly less numerous than their icey/rocky counterparts. I suspect that this is probably the method Fyron used in balancing...

Re: Balance Mod Available for SE:V

The Abbidon use the Advanced Storage Techniques trait, which gives them 20% more facility space. Fyron\'s generally balanced out the distribution of facility space amongst planet types.[/quote]...

Re: Balance Mod Available for SE:V

Interestingly enough, the Urka-Tal only asked for "recent" tech, IIRC, it was I who switched to "current tech" and they agreed - and then within the next dozend turns they made tech exchange treaties...

Re: Balance Mod Available for SE:V

planet / atmosphere type distribution and gas giant dwellers
Why is it that the Abiddon are 1st in every game, unless the EEE are in as well - then both are leading the score list 90% of the time.

Re: Balance Mod Available for SE:V

Then the AI should at least check for colonsation tech/home planet type .. it does not make much sense to intersettle with someone who has the same planet type.
Btw., it's a PITA to have all those...

Re: Balance Mod Available for SE:V

Ok, here we go :

large quadrant (as before), high tech cost (instead of normal), high number of AI (as before), no neutral empires (changed that)

Any hints ?
