Concentration camp is nerfed, need some compensation

#1 Post by jinlanid »

Those species that utilize concentration camp now need racial purity policy, and racial purity further need checkpoint policy.
You don't always need checkpoint policy. If your enemy don't use stealth tech, use this policy is a big nerf to yourself.

We need to buff those concentration-camp-oriented species.

There are no conc camp oriented species. Do you mean xenophobic species.

And the camps are OP so having to invest heavily in order to use those is appropriate.

You need checkpoints to adopt racial purity, but don't need to keep checkpoints after that.

I believe the issue is that starting xenophobes with concentration camps researched is now mostly pointless, as they can't actually use them till the point where other species can research it quickly.

Noticed 2 minor issues looking at this:

If I look at concentration camps under the unavailable tab in the production menu, the usual red (FAILED) blah blah, is not listing the missing Policy.

Under Racial Purity:

"Cannot be in adopted without: Border Checkpoints"
"Cannot be in adopted with: Diversity Native Appropriation"

Are those "in"s intended? It reads pretty horribly.

Nope, should be removed from the stringtable entry: https://github.com/freeorion/freeorion/ ... .txt#L5038
