Opil help text is claiming it's worth +5 coins and +1 influence per Market, but examination of income breakdown for Tendao indicates Opil is currently worth +10 coins and +1 influence per Market. Probably worth fixing whichever of those values is mistaken.

I didn't even reboot. It was a strange thing.

I do have a sound card, but the latest build just fixed the lack of sound issue. I have no clue what happened there.

Current version has sounds disabled with no option to re-enable in the options menu.

My concept for improved terraforming is relatively straightforward: each planet type should have a number of intermediate stages that improve habitability toward the next planet type (each with visible surface changes, mostly greening and surface water), and when the changes reach a threshold of a ...

At the moment, blockaded planets do not provide food surplus to the empire, cannot take advantage of food surplus at the imperial level, and cannot have production hurried. All well and good. I suggest also that blockades deny the trade capacity provided by the planet and its markets, as, obviously,...

I'll agree I'd enjoy seeing the Phidi Cruiser look more armored, although there are *some* steps in this direction- its forward command compartment is obviously up-armored relative to the same section on a Transport. Still seems a little light given the fairly dramatic differences between Transport ...

I'm pretty sure the resemblance of the Phidi cruisers to transports is intentional. The Phidi shipbuilding philosophy is essentially built around three different modular hulls, with all their military designs actually being civilian designs retrofitted with combat-centric mission sections. The Cruis...

Question, Arioch, since I haven't yet bagged a Steward or other larger Arda Seed ships yet- are there autopsies available for Stewards that shed light on their role in the Arda Seed? No need to tell me what the autopsy says, just whether I should have that to look forward to.

I think the implication based on what I've already seen from normal Star Harpy autopsies, the name 'Steward', and my knowledge of the role of standard Star Harpies in the Arda Seed's functioning, is that Stewards are designed to ferry standard Star Harpies around to set up remote mining operations, ...

First off- I am so very happy to see Star Harpy Stewards introduced- they're the missing link that was needed to address how normal Star Harpies get around. Thank you! On another note, however, there are three elements of actual Steward behavior, two of which are actually inconsistent with their des...

I've not seen it. I honestly found the new railgun animation a cool improvement to the old version.

Now that the Tinkers have been introduced, as well as the Gremak, I think it should be a priority to teach the AI about the fine points of tyranny and liberation. The Gremak Empire, Tinkers, and Marauder bands should presumably actively work to enslave/harmonise dissident populations, while other em...

Looking forward to the roadmap update. Will be interesting to see what we have to look forward to.

Yeah, all the evidence I can find seems to suggest a three-sided conflict to me, and some of Praetor Yunki's comments about 'paying for the violence of our ancestors' combined with other bits of lore here and there really suggest to me the ancient Ashdar Empire was not shy about expanding by force.
