RE: Automated tax rate gets set to 100%

<t> Aha, I see.

Automated tax rate gets set to 100%

<t> Hi all,<br/> I've started a new game as Humans, playing Legends 1.707 beta.<br/> <br/> I just colonised my 2nd planet and noticed it immediately rebelled against me. The reason is that the automated tax management had put the tax to 100%.<br/> I noticed that it's 100% on my homeworld as well, bu...

RE: Bombarding planets

<t> Update: It looks to be more reliable if I issue the order directly to the bombardment ships, rather than the fleet.<br/> However, they still seem to stutter all the time. <br/> <br/> Their orders keep flicking between "Bombard (target)" and "Attack (target)", constantly, meaning the ships keep s...

Bombarding planets

<t> Hi guys,<br/> I'm running ROTS with the latest update patch (upgraded straight from the last beta).<br/> <br/> I'm still testing out some features of the game, and have designed a basic destroyer with 2 nuclear devastators on it, just to try and bombard a minor races planet into oblivion.<br/> <...

RE: Most Favourite 4X Game Ever.

<t> I've been delving back into BOTF a bit lately, trying out the BoP and UDM mods. <br/> They no doubt greatly enhance the game but these days I find it too heavy on the micromanagement, having to individually terraform each planet in a system before colonisation becomes a bit of a clickfest.<br/> ...

RE: what's the use for a monitoring station?

<t> I will post this update as it is relevant to the usage of monitoring stations. I dismantled one of my key border monitoring stations as I had a deep cover operative in the main threatening empire. We ended up going to war, and they discovered my deep cover spy and terminated him.<br/> <br/> Cons...

RE: what's the use for a monitoring station?

<t> I'm not that experienced with the game, and I have a few monitoring stations placed at border locations to try and catch any surprise invasions. However, having now got some deep cover operatives in various empires I'm not sure of the value of my monitoring stations any more, as I already seem t...

RE: Can you research superlaser?

OK, thanks for the responses all.
I now know how I can satisfy my planet destroying desires.
I wonder what a psychiatrist would make of this.
