They just don't get their own class, but pick a very habitable planet, and then reroll the settlement phase until you get a population in the tens of billions. After bombardment, half the planet will be city ruins.

There was an interview with Vic where he was asked if you could set parameters for what you wanted to roll. He said no, the process was designed specifically to be like you were rolling a character and it would have to be essentially rewritten completely to do that, so it ain't going to happen.

After bombardment, half the planet will be city ruins. One of my favourite mp games was basically ruins plus deserts, it had brutal attritional city slogs plus open plain tank battles that made Kursk look like child's play. Wot won it in the end was anti-infantry mechs, I stopped contesting the plains except for skirmish forces and threw my entire industry into mass producing a new mech design with really good rolls and went hard on nukes to soften up the defenders. It took like a year and god knows how many deaths but eventually the defenders collapsed and I rolled through their main metals production sector crippling their economy. Then I lost because I was doing too well and got dogpiled lol.

what affects how high population can get during colonization besides there being a biosphere?

Its been a while since I went fishing for one. yeah when I was loving around with sprawlworlds I saw the best results with a combination of start with a large Siwa-class reroll planetology until you get an average temperature of ~27C and gravity ~0.9g reroll geology until you get >90% plains coverage and lots of rain and "earthlike" or "comparable" atmosphere reroll biosphere until you get breathable atmosphere with no hazards, rain pH 5~9 and low soil heavy metals, lots of vegetation if possible, and ideally no animals >2m size because they're annoying and boring so basically go for numbers that make the planet ideal to colonize. then just reroll colonization a bunch and you'll occasionally see population 4~6b and rarely it spikes to 11~12b if there's enough immigration and population growth fast enough to enable the "sector capital has relocated to the planet" history event, and the RNG aligns in your favor for the event to actually happen.

does the ai use easier logistics if its enabled they're constantly circlign around my formations and cutting off key supply lines and its really annoying e: today I learned the atmospheric hazard rating differentiates between "nightmarish death" and "Unfathomable death" Stairmaster fucked around with this message at 23:33 on May 12, 2024 |

They use easier logistics, but AIs still get cut off. Unfortunately, several aspects of the game combine to make '100% suicide run with 1-3 units to squat on a road' a highly effective tactic. (the time it takes to respond to such a move, strategically; the porous nature of fronts that aren't wall to wall units from ocean to ocean; the persistence of area control without any units nearby..) I wouldn't mind like 'getting strategically flanked' but suicide runs are really annoying when combined with the ai can just plow a road through the Hindu Kush in a month and slamm a random unit onto your road.

I would have to check the current details since I think he’s changed it a little but the AI does get to cheat on some aspects of logistics since he couldn’t program it to use the player logistics system effectively.

There is a page on AI's interaction with logistic in the manual. iirc, AI build road for free, and has some bonus logistic AP (supply travels further before diminishing).

The AI gets its logistics points for free from its cities without having to build logistics assets. Its logistics is still limited by AP, so it has to build or conquer new cities to extend its logistics range. It also gets to build some amount of roads free of IP cost each turn. AI units do suffer the penalties for being encircled.

The free roads are the most annoying part of that for me, I’m envious of getting to cross mountains without spending piles of precious IP.

I'd prefer it if high mountains were just uncrossable to most units and roads. Then at least we could hold choke points, free roads or no

What gets me is the non-sentient animals doing deep strikes behind your lines to cut off your supplies.

Personally I'm a fan of enemies apparently ignoring the movement penalties for newly-conquered terrain and ZOC, and moving impossibly far between my armies to block my supply lines. Just a massive gently caress You from the game.

My most annoying leader led a rebellion against me, and had all his armies spawn in a chokepoint, he also did so near the town where I had my GR walkers stationed  I don't think we took any casualties
