Default Re: culture & charicteristic traits

"Culture" stands for the sociological traits a particular empire has. All empires have one - if you don't specifically select one in the game set-up, you end up with "neutral" by default. They're "free" points, in a sense, but they're usually a mix of advantages and disadvantages. In the unmodded game, they're not exactly evenly balanced. One of the list members here, Jourin, came up with a balanced culture file (you can find it on this thread.)

Default Re: culture & charicteristic traits

actualy thats trickyer than I thought...

are the points for SC split between agressive and defenceive, or arethey added?
ie if the culture traits gives +10 to SC
is it the same as adding +5 to agressive and +5 to defenceive, or does it add +10 to both of them...

ditto with the production (which there are 3 off)

also to note is that aggressive, defencive, and maint cost twice as much (50rp) than the others untill you get up to superior, when they all cost the same (100rp)

What you are given by the Cultural Traits is in a test file of a fairly intuitive name. You would see exactly what you're getting in there.

Or was that even what you were asking?
