Re: Open Beta Patch v1.25g (26 feb 2024)

I love these brilliant attacks ;-) Looks like they are following the Art of War "Attack where your enemy is weak". Can't be weaker then having 0 forces! The ones that get me is the disastrously executed attacks, where somehow despite attacking an opponent with 0 ships, they still manage t...

Re: Open Beta Patch v1.25f (22 jan 2024)

I don't care why they where on the planet when the Dissolution War happened. Games says "Keep in mind that over 262 years have passed since the Dissolution War started" ... how the **** did those arachnids survive for so long on a planet that is A) too cold for them to walk around outside...

Re: Open Beta Patch v1.25f (22 jan 2024)

3 problems I'm having in my latest playthrough: I have an earthlike planet at 4.25AU: -31°C median temp. Very dry planet with 2% ocean and 3mm rainfall. Yet, the whole map is covered in snow which mean "Water Lvl 9 umlimited" ... and the map generation places "Water Deposits Lvl 8 20...

Re: Open Beta Patch v1.25f (22 jan 2024)

Ok so this is definitely a problem: https://i.imgur.com/458QxsU.png Turn 75. Just conquered major AI's capital. And everything is starting to make sense. IMO they should be taught to make building bureaucratic office I the first thing they make, and bureau II a high priority as soon as its possible...

Re: Open Beta Patch v1.25f (22 jan 2024)

2.) More map verticality and general geography. Other than a few particilar planets, most biomes are very open and usually the only viariation is kinda flat - low mountains - mountains. This means that a lot of time warfare is really maneouvering and cutting the enemy's supply lines. I mean its exc...

Re: Open Beta Patch v1.25f (22 jan 2024)

I guess i'm more confused about 'discovery focus' ... this a mechanic i've yet to find/use ? How do you 'activate' it? Up until now i've only been dealing with the sliders... That one was added with the 1.21d release: Added the feature “Discovery Focus”. Can be used by calling the Military, Applied...

Re: Open Beta Patch v1.25e (2 jan 2024)

Messed around in my current game. Whats happening is a compounding of issues all centered around food. The AI needs fuel for motorization so it makes biofuel. Biofuel requires food. Food is a very worker demanding resource so it takes workers. Massive worker pop requires food and more workers for f...

Re: Open Beta Patch v1.25e (2 jan 2024)

Hi, in the games, boths single and multiplayer, I have noticed that the increase in ammunition expenditure by MGs, Artillery, APCs and Tank units greatly restricts the game, both at a logistical level and in the variety of combat tactics, since in the early and mid-game it is only possible to use l...

Re: 1.25d Logistics spent points inconsistency

Yes there is a slight random element with bulk items that typically weigh 0.25 when transported overseas. (see bulk items in latest manual version) Maybe it should only be random for the remainder? If you got 27 items worth .25 weight each: Currently you roll 27 times for each hex. I doubt that wil...

Re: Shadow Empire Suggestions and Feedback

An advisory feature that tells a player the best places to put a truck station, supply depot, etc., instead of players stumbling around trying to figure it out on their own. The best place for truck stops is inside cities. Which is also the best spot to put all the road splits (unless you got simpl...

Re: Open Beta Patch v1.25d (20 dec 2023)

By default, you need a Road connection to a SHQ. This is so things can still work when you cancel the Airbridge or something disrupts the trainline. The road is the fallback. A MTH connection through a port will work as expected, allowing the direct creation of road networks even though they can be...

Re: Open Beta Patch v1.25d (20 dec 2023)

There's some oddness going on with road creation in zones connected by an air bridge to the SHQ. I can't directly create roads from the zone city which is the destination of the air bridge - it says no logistical connection to SHQ. However, I can build an asset within the zone and that will automat...

Re: Open Beta Patch v1.25c (4 dec 2023)

v1.25b against hard AI. I would like to know exactly what logistics rules the AI uses. The AI is a good opponent, much improved and effective. But I need to know what happens to its supplies when a Motorcycle squad cuts off their Medium Tanks, the ones with +93% AP movement cost, for example. As in...

Re: Open Beta Patch v1.25b (28th Nov 2023)

What SE could use, IMO, is better simulation of combined arms. The mixed infantry-tank formations that you can research through the Staff Council? Consensus is "don't use them, they're useless." When attacking with a tank-infantry formation, the infantry charges straight at the enemy alon...
