Re: Xenophobic species trait

[quote="Dilvish"I don't believe the Pedia entry was meant to imply that's the only purpose they are intended for, it just mentions that as one thing they are good for. [/quote] Oh, not saying I think it's wrong to do otherwise, but I specifically wanted to test the xenophobia and CCs are a...

Re: Xenophobic species trait

Eaxaw_Xeno_test_complete.jpg K, have finally played through a complete game as Eaxaw and wiped everyone else out. I never tried to juggle concentration camps, I used them for what the text says they're for, wiping out a population to let a more preferred species move in. An issue: I once had a colo...

If a xenophobic species were building them, surely they'd build them as the perfect slaves?

Whereas if a bunch of peace loving hippy/Culture types were building them they'd be as self determining as possible.

Rev 6214 - Acirema Guard Ship in weird place

20130702_222247_capture_001_.jpg
How did that guard ship get there? I'm used to seeing AIs colonising/capturing planets under guard by sacrificing big fleets, but where did the Acirema ship appear from?

Re: Xenophobic species trait

Playing through as Eaxaw on #6214, certainly a challenge wiping out all your captured planets with ballooning outputs. One question-is it intended to include Exobots in the xenophobia triggering? I deliberately built several batches to take over a few now desolate homeworlds but they're getting hara...

Re: What to do about Infrastructure?

An idea: One of the balance problems that gets mentioned sometimes is the mid to late game abiltiy to spam fleets very quickly, and all at the front line/recently captured planets. How about tying infrastructure in to the ability to import/export production? You'd need to change the numbers, but if ...

Re: [6164] Can't invade

Another possibility-planet stealth goes up with tech advances, while it doesn't look like the Laenfa here have researched that tech the AIs sometimes do do so. FWIW, researching in the Intelligence area is definitely worth it early, I try to have Sensors by turn 150+ and definitely would have Neutro...
