...to limit this a bit: overall number of characters you can have in an empire of your size, number of characters you already have for that character role, etc.
Can anyone give me more details on what the limits actually are? What is the limit per role? What is the overall character limit based on, meaning what is 'empire size' based off of, population? number of colonies?
How much of a bonus do spy academies, research academies, ect. provide and how to do they stack: are there any diminishing returns?
For empires with multiple races:
Do academies provide a bonus to just the colony they are built on? If race 1 builds an academy at a colony of full of race 2 will they increase the chance of the new character being race 2?
Does the race of newly generated characters have any effect on the skills that character gets when the new character's race is different from the empires race?
Do multi-race empire gain character recruitment benefits from the additional races: i.e. If a empire of race 1, with 0% bonus to recruiting scientist, captures a colony of race 2, with a 20% bonus to recruiting scientist, resulting in an empire in which 50% of population is of race 1, and 50% is of race 2; does the empire have a 10% bonus to recruiting scientist or is it still 0%?
