Cap - The thing about the Imperials is that they aren't just normal militarists. Everywhere they go they demand all humans everywhere follow the Emporer and the Imperial Truth, which essentially outlaws all religion under threat of death. At best, I could see people saying "ahhh, those nutters, just forget them, they are half a galaxy away". At worst, well, just look back on human history whenever one group tries to tell another precisely what they can and cannot do. I did make the Interex and Auretians neutral to the Imperials, but the Diasporex where a multi-racial society and lived alongside alien allies - they are more like Star Trek humans. They naturally would be outraged by the Imperiums disregard for alien life. Perhaps I will make the Auretians (technocrats) favorable to the Imperials but aside from them, I can't think of any reason anyone would ever have anything but hate for them, especially non-humans whom they openly advocate committing genocide against. Also, please keep in mind that the Imperials are balanced as being the race everyone hates, as are most main races. This is the reason they are significantly better than the minor ones. Cyrtis - The Hrud were set as a beast race due to the fact that they were tribal and seemingly had no central leadership or civilization. In fact, they could shift themselves physically through the warp and didn't even need ships. I didn't take them out because I thought the presence of some races like that would make things a little more interesting. Japhet - Sadly I cannot add new troop types, or even upgrade robot troops. That is just a modding limitation because I feel as you do on the matter, especially regarding titans. Can you tell me specifically what weapon it was? I'm thinking the shotgun one, as it creates multiple projectile graphics with each shot, so having tons of them would produce lag, likely. I will speed the projectiles up to see if that fixes it. Swizzle - I will take care of that with the next update regarding the targeting thing. It will likely involve cutting robo legacies off from the simpler tracking components as I have already designated that component to be well past the end of the tech tree. The exterminate bonus is capped, and even when I was writing the file I realized it wouldn't amount to much. All the points being brought up about Necrons make me wish I just had not added them. This game is just not suited to a nigh-unstoppable robotic force that doesn't breed, just wakes up. My only solution would be to reign in some of their bonuses to be more in line with other main races and give them a more reasonable reproduction rate. It will come across as no more ridiculous than it already is, what with Necrons taking vacations alongside humans and paying taxes, migrating, etc. I was hoping to make their navy the selling point but it seems I can't strike a balance between broke and spamming so many ships it lags the game out. At least the ones being made are as powerful as they should be. I might restore some of their maintenance reductions if they are that much of a financial bind. Still, they should be giving you research bonuses as opposed to Orks, who are about as dumb as rocks. Too bad there can't be maluses from races. The Orks would just get sloshed on mushroom beer and have a good ol time by rampaging across worlds and killing everything not green, making for a race you really don't want to "integrate". Given all the trouble with Necrons I don't think adding Tyranids is a good idea. I would probably just remove Necrons if it wasn't for the artwork put into them so I definitely don't want to encourage anyone to work on more Tyranid art. The whole inhuman monsters/killer robots thing just does not work in this game where every race is basically treated like normal folks. I added them against my better judgment and now I regret it, so I won't be doing it again. Cyrtis - The Necrons do have defenders legacy, so they should have access to the cheaper versions of planetary shields. Not that that would help you if you were in a financial bind, though.
