Not sure if this is a bug or not, but I'm playing a game with your mod installed and something about the tech trading seems off. While doing some diplomatic technology procuring I noticed that technologies that I had just acquired by trading was not available to trade to other empires even though that empire did not posses the technology. I decided to see if it needed time so I unpaused it and let it run for more than a month but the techs that I received via trade were still not listed as being able to trade with other empires. I used espionage to ensure that the empires that I was attempting to trade the newly acquired tech to did not posses those techs. Any ideas?

just so you know everything is looking fine in 1.05beta for colonization. I love you how put 60 then 100 mil so theres still a reason to get one of the advanced techs even if the double growth rate is broken. As for the caleph. You could probably just put the tech back to where it was or you can have it how it is in 1.05 whatever you prefer. It doesn't make a difference with their military power really. They had a really bad start in my game and only have like 1 or 2 colonies when the lead players have like 35+. They dwarf everyone in military power. I don't know how actually strong they are since I haven't fought them to say if theyre also OP or just misrepresented. Either way it sucks becauses fighters are cool I just hope it doesnt mess up the diplomacy too much. They did declare war on me, but It was after 2 other people did, but they havent sent any ships. So do whatever you want with the caleph, I dont think it really matters

I see there is a "GovernmentBiases.txt" file but I haven't changed that at all from Vanilla. I suppose I can change it, it's a good idea, but how would that benefit the AI? That is the goal of the Mod.

But with the AI Mod I often play on Auto Designs. That said, I have my own design templates, which have minor modifications from the Mod to suit my personal strategy. They are very easy to edit. Ship design can then be left on Auto all game and becomes completely hassle free.

Possible fix for the double population grow.

The wonder : Medical complex work.

So create a free structure (like a lab costing 0$ and 0 Maintenance cost) available with a certain tech, that double population grow on all planet or one type of planet.

The AI would build it, right when it's available.

I think this could fix the problem.

where exactly do you edit those templates?
Is it all in the Extended AI Improvement Mod.xlsx or is it in the design templates folder?
Because I've modified a design in the templates folder before and didn't quite get the results...

I decreased passenger compartnemnts to 4 in the templates but the ai still used around 7-10 of those ingame...

is this meant percentage wise or something?

Beste Grüße!

It gives the game a better random generator on diplomatic relations with the AI. And relations could change quite a bit if a race has a revolution. Why not ally a militarist humanoid, if it helps serving the AI's expansionist insectoid plans to attack large blocks of alliances.

In another scenario maybe it could be benefitial for two human AI's to oppose each other if they have opposing governments,
because the other one has some very tasty planets that won't revolt as quickly as insectoid?

All this could have an interesting effect on AI diplomacy with less predictable behavior.

Also, is it possibel to tell the AI to go more after planets that have the same race as them?

Hello! This mod is compatible with the mod STARFALL?

ORIGINAL: Osito
I decided to create the tree based around your own mod, so everything else will be based on your mod so far as possible.

However, despite the compatability, it won't be necessarily be an 'AI Improvement mod', as I can't guarantee it won't be easier for the player to win (although I'm trying to avoid changes that would obviously make it easier - other than, perhaps, the end game changes).

Sounds cool Osito.

Note the AI Improvement Mod uses defined research orders for each race which would need to be modified. If you add a technology the AI won't research it unless it's added to that build order.

Gahhh I can't decide which weapon type to use... I guess that's a good thing balance-wise, but it's driving the min-maxer inside me crazy. Torpedoes, phasers or beams?? Or hell, even missiles? What do you guys prefer? I'll use one for both ships (I only use capitals - the game is extremely micro-heavy as it is without managing multiple ship types) and for bases/mining stations. Pls help me : p

What happens if I select torp research for a race that has its designs optimised for missiles? Will the game code adapt the designs once the higher level research is available for the non-default weapon type?

So when I play my customised Quameno race I change both the research orders and design templates in combination.

You copy over the contents of the "designTemplates" folder from a race which uses the default weapons types that I would like to use?

Hey Icemania,

Thanks for this mod, it is great, using the one that also includes DW:U extended. One thing I have noticed as an avid thief of tech from other races, is that the Banoserit do not actually research their Far Sight Sensors. Not sure if that has been noted before, but looking at your included excel file they research sensors (research #198) as their 23rd Hi Tech project but at no time does Research project #391 appear.

Given the good balance you already have with the races and research can you suggest the placement for these techs? or just a 1 for 1 replacement with normal long range sensor tech? Best possible outcome for me will be if you just post an amended race file :D but that is only because I am lazy.

Thanks again for the work to date on this mod, really hope that you are able to work with/advise Osito on his Research Unleashed mod as well to bring the customised research orders. Currently playing on 280k research costs to drag it out a bit more, but more tech would also be pretty cool.

Edit : I have not read any form of bug tracker or in detail on this thread so you may already be aware of the issue, in which case I shall apologise and slink into a corner and wait for an update like everyone else.

Regards.
