Looking at it it does seem odd that you could research Advanced Colonization without having researched Colonization at the very least!

Leaving that aside though, I would think to do what you want you'd have to remove Enhanced Scanners as a parent of Stealth, then make an intermediary tech with Far Sight Discovery and Enhanced Scanners as non-obligatory parents. Then just make said intermediary tech an obligatory parent of Stealth. That does mean either having a project that has a parent on the same tech level (which looks a bit weird), or increasing the tech level for each tech after Stealth to make room. That would of course change research costs for Stealth and the 7 following techs you'd have to shift over, but you could correct for that with the Base Cost Multiplier.


Yeah, I thought about introducing an additional node where all of the parents are optional, and then make that a mandatory parent of Stealth. But it would have to cost 0 to not impact the other races. And not make any of the other techs change in cost. Even then, it would be, umm, less than elegant?

Maybe I'll play with cost modifiers tomorrow and see if I get any bright ideas.

Status: offline 		Hello, I just installed the 1.05 extended AI mod, started a new custom game in pre-warp time. I payed protection money to the initial pirate contact, just to have that ship come back a few days later and destroy my ship yard and all 3 research bases. Is this a bug with the mod? I thought paying protection to a pirate faction means they protect me and not attack me, at least that's how it was in vanilla universe. What should I do??

Thanks!!

Err what?

it means that "Difficulty Settings" are not a moddable thing.

maybe only Roger Bacon (with its Bacon mod) can do something to modify that settings.

The factors for difficulty levels are ( 0.7, 1.0, 1.25, 1.6, 2.0) from easiest to hardest.

The player's war weariness, and corruption are multiplied by the difficulty factor.

The player's research rate, mining rate, population growth rate, targeting factor, countermeasure factor, colonyship build speed, and colony income factor are divided by the factor.

Can the astradeus-graphics-mod-Characters-v1 which adds human character images be safely added to this mod?
If so are there any special procedures I need to follow?
Thanks

Status: offline 		1.05 AI Improvement mod De-Extended (Works for VANILLA)

105 changes added to 1.04, just no Extended races.

I like this mod and was using it for MORE VISIBLE TROOPs Icon mod v1.0
When I did V2.0 I realized it would be way to much work at this time to add the extra 20 races so I migrated 1.05 changes to 1.04 and removed the extra races.
All credit goes to the original modder since all I did was strip and test.

I'd post it here but am getting postal 7 day restrictions everytime I attempt to upload

replace the dot and space on either side with "." (without quotes)to get the file.

If an official 1.05 non-extended AI improvement is released I can remove this one
thanks

1) updated VANILLA AI Improvement Mod 1.04 to VANILLA AI Improvement Mod 1.05 (I call it D-extended 1.05 but maybe its confusing)

2) to get the extra races use EXTENDED 1.05 RELEASE (Available in the first post of this thread)

Status: offline 		I've been using this with bacon recently and an idea emerged. Since having troop transports at 20% would drastically reduce the number of military ships the AI has (by 12%) what if instead I set it to 0%, reduced the component size of troop pods and added an equivalent number to every ship instead of just cruisers and capitals? Same effect right?

Status: offline 		I suppose. You'll also be giving yourself the same advantage so it looks like a wash. Unless you, for example, give all AI's access to the Ortain compacted troop transport (modified to your liking), and you don't use it.

Status: offline 		Reading through this thread has me praying DW2's AI will be at least somewhat competent. Given there aren't too many fundamental changes to gameplay in the upcoming sequel, I'm hoping Erik & Elliot are able to carry over the many lessons learned from Universe, applying their newfound knowledge to DW2. A healthy portion of development time being dedicated to fleshing out the kinks in DW2's AI department would do wonders for the success (and enjoyability!) of the game.

All the while, I don't know how much longer I can handle living without Distant Worlds 2. Breathe in. Breathe out.
