When an AI wins the Galacic Council vote, there is no indication of how non-allied AI empires have decided after the vote: did they accept or reject the result? Currently, it seems that nothing changes betwene AI empires after the vote even if one of them wins. Those in war stay in war and those all...

Decreasing the cash surplus of the AI is not a benefit by itself. Getting the AI to spend its surplus on something useful would be a benefit, but simply removing the cash doesn't serve any purpose. Keeping a large cash reserve has some value, at least. Agreed, generaly it would be optimal to have t...

I assume the question is aimed toward priority of the change and not the basic idea behind it: think it was also mentioned before that bases are not balanced yet for upkeep (during upkeep balance of ships) and assume you did not plan with both types of bases costing 0 upkeep forever As for priority:...

The upkeep cost of starbases could surely be increased by now right?
This wouldn't upset AI economy as it is not spamming these anymore, but make budgets a but tighter and it feels odd that massive stations cost almost nothing to maintain

Human faction is currently destined to a slow start (unless gets very lucky with derelict colonies) in normal and default settings The faction cannot get to the juicy early empire fleets production phase within the first 100 Turns which makes the experience much slower compared to other factions and...

Sounds great! You mentioned here: 7. Game Speed setting: "Epic" only affects Research rate by changing the multiplier to 1.5 and does not yet affect production. You can check the setting and change it if you like in file: new_galaxy.lua that game speed settings change only research, when ...

Finally I got to the endgame of the save - took me long enough as I needed to move the defneding fleets back to the starbases and in range of planetary defenses in most plantery defense missions (of which tehre was a record amount there :)) At preciecly Turn 300 the Tinker + Phidi alliance has lost ...

Tinkers offer peace to the player but demanding payment in return even though they have lost around 2/3 of their planets and are outmatched in all resources by a factor of 2 - and the player just won the Galactic council vote :) The only KPI they are ahead is the number of vessels: 80 for player and...

Suggestion for diplomacy changes: Wehn giving peace treaty a deadline, it should be arond 5 turns per default: this would allow the initiator (playr or AI) to reorganise the fleets, do some upgrade and rusch some defenses and broker some defense teraties if possible. It is necessery to have this be ...

The AI does a very good job of building up: where it stumbles today in my opinion is purely expansion logic (when and where to build outpost and sometimes colony ship) It poses a signifficant challenge on Normal difficulty and in fact I suspect it also recieves a bit of Metal aid as well ;) It shoul...

Haven't had such issues even with large amount of ships up to around 40 per side Check the save I have uploaded - it seems to go all the way into the end-game: would have lost agaisnt the AI (first time in late-game) if haven't resorted to scorched earth exploit It might be that one of the ships you...

Faster tactical animation option effect lost after reloading the game
Option needs to be disabled and re-enabled after reload to take effect

My understanding is that Stargates are meant to work both ways: once an enemy occupies the planet and captures the Stargate, it can be used by their network - the problem here is that the AI does not yet build their own stargate network (not even when playing Haduir) But frankly, if the game does no...

Show intercept warnings during target selection of Assault Shuttles, and other small crafts in order for the player to see what will engage them on their way just like in case of moving ships

Planetary defense positioning is suboptimal for the defender for a few reasons: 1. Commercial stations are in the center sorrounded by fleet, defense stations and planetary defenses - in practice this should be located between defensive stations and the planet itself and not in line with defense sta...
