Re: New Player - understanding mechanics

Construction bay, field labs, farms, mines need to have the matching worker attached to it ( Farmer, miner, worker, researcher)

Energy parks and air cleaner will automatically grant you their bonus

I beg to disagree :D

Alpha Centauri had some valid and interesting alternate victory conditions than just military victory, giving way more depth to the game play.

Re: AI can't design units

If cheap units is numerous enough, they can bring down transcendence era units by sheer weight of numbers. I still remember my tachyon tanks dying one by one to colonial trooper human wave. They was all sent to death by a certain ahem fanatical leader. >.> It worked until I started to stack the tac...

Re: AI can't design units

The devs mentionned once the problem was that the AI considered the cost of high tech units too high compared to the production rate of their cities, so it elected to build cheap unit instead. Not sure if this is the root of problem...? Could a dev tell us if they are looking into this issue? To be ...

Re: Review by TotalBiscuit

Yes his analysis is very good, and he is hitting the nail on the faulty diplomacy, redundant tech tree and lack of faction flavor & personality. Another thing which is outrageously obvious in his game is once more the total unhability of the AI to produce decent units, with TB rolling the map wi...

Re: AI can't design units

This alongside the broken diplomacy system are the 2 biggest problem in the game IMO. Pandora main interest lies in the cool combat system, but the inability of the IA to keep up with tech available in their unit production just makes the game boring after mecha era as you will systematically have a...

Re: How do I survive warmongers?

I haven't played much lately so not sure how much the latest patches changes the game but here are a few tip that should help you: - Don't overextend yourself, just build your cities when the population pressure start hurting your morale too much.

Re: Graphics Request: Easier to see Roads

Yup agreed Another Graphic upgrade that would be nice is with formers gathering resources. When you spam them on large area of the map you quickly end up only seeing a sea of former and dust which is 1. not very good looking 2. Kind of annoying to navigate units in Perhaps former in crawler mode sho...

Re: 1.3 Research Lab/Construction Bay Commands Incorrect

No they only provide +1. You get +3 in total because you affect one worker to that tile who already provides +2, so for a grand total of +3. So pollution +/- (forests/fungus) is the only passive modifier that applies whether or not the territory is assigned a worker? The + habitat and + credit tile...

Re: What Is Your Favourite Unit Combination?

I think the best use of ships would be to let them automatically defend troop transport on the same hex than them, making the transport immune to all attack (strike ops included) as long as the boat is not sunk. This would solve the super weak transport problem and give a strategic value to boats. ...

Nope no demo and i remember reading from the devs a few month ago they were not planning one. 2) Does the game come with a tutorial? Nope no tutorial but if you are used to 4x its rather easy to get a grip on...

Re: What Is Your Favourite Unit Combination?

Ships are rarely useful because you can always use planes to guard your invasion since the planes don't have to land. I completely agree, planes can do everything that ships can do, and are more flexible. I think ships should have the second strongest attack (aside from mechs). Similar to real life...

Re: Naval transport not being added

Some techs comes with a 'must be produced components' some don't. It's precised in the flavor text of the tech once you have researched it.
