Re: 2 nasty trick to try

Generally we do already have the option to use these penal legions though. Their combat value already reflects their flimsy nature and since I almost never use colonists for attacking (as it is wildly not efficiently), this would be the only way civilian battalions utilized so no need to designate ...

Re: 2 nasty trick to try

You can think of them as penal battalions, if you like. Penal / Slave Battalions is actually a good idea. Bonus to damage, but debuff to defense (you're not going to waste armor on them), and if possible I would suggest they have a "two balls in the hopper" chance (I'm not sure how you ha...

Re: question on slavery and magnate races

Thank you. I am guessing that you have just explained why none of the minor races can be made slaves.

I still think it would be worth trying. :D

question on slavery and magnate races

Hello, So, I've cranked GIMP and Notepad++ back up. I'm tinkering around with the idea of found-only techs from pre-war races, and two races that have a chance of only appearing as slave colonies. I know there was an issue with techs off the tree causing issues with the tech tree view, so I was goin...

Re: DLC rebalance mod

I'll merge my mod into this and give it a whirl. It looks like you've put a lot of work into this. :) I am curious on your thoughts about the changes to the minor races. With the Algorians, the friendly + capricious mix makes them like a bipolar friend. They are nice, but react to stressors "po...

Re: Looking at stations and outposts

This is a bit of a non-sequitur, and my apologies, but a possible work-around is to allow a structure-slot "Repair Facility" be created for ships. To be more realistic, a mobile repair ship can only fix one ship per turn, but it may be easier to just have it work like a normal construction...

A random thought that could be interesting: TECH: "Dzibix Crucible" (Tinker locked) Allows terraforming to of Dzibix Circuit planets. WORLD TYPE: "Dzibix Circuit" The Dzibix Circuit is a world type based on the unused "super city". This would essentially be 7 Metro zone...

Re: Suggest - Features and Improvements

Hi. Ok, so. I just posted my Minor Races Madness mod. (Please be patient and kind.) I do want to take a moment to call back to something I posted a bit back in my Long Rambly Post: http://stars-in-shadow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=582 The section about the table hooks. Just as an object lesso...

Re: Stars in Shadow Modding Support

Two important questions, as I really need to be getting done with my work on this. 1) I have the DLC. So, files I package will be +Legacies files. Obviously I am only packaging limited files. Would this be an issue? If so, I would I get a set of base game files? (I'm designing it to make it easy to ...

Re: What are the new weapons in the Legacies DLC?

Another possibility with the Anomalies, which would be particularly valuable if an empire could build a station in one: - All Anomaly-to-Anomaly travel acts as if a stargate is in effect, meaning all traffic is instant. If the Anomalies could be conquered early in the game, this would turn them into...

Re: Report - Current Bugs and Issues

Slavery is the coercion of individuals by threats of violence. Harmonized individuals' emotions are firmly under control, and so they have no fear; they can't be coerced. Not to push the point, but I think Chasm has a valid question. The Marauders are slavers. Also, the Marauders would take the Tin...
