Huh? I've been using the in-game UI scaling option, has this not been working for anyone else? I'm running with 2x UI scaling at 5120 × 2880 (via Nvidia's DSR) and the window sizing is fine. Blorange fucked around with this message at 21:57 on Feb 22, 2018 |

I gave the new Mastery of Nature a try, and while it's underwhelming to only get +1 land on a size 17 world, it is hilarious to enact the edict and see the target planet literally inflate to match the new size. Did anyone else assume that the +tile amounts would be 10-14: +3, 15-19: +2, 20-24: +1?

Aethernet posted:This appears to be about how war exhaustion works. If you win a combat but lose a significant portion of your naval cap in ships, you get more war exhaustion than the opponent and so it counts as a defeat. I don't think the game gives starbase loss enough war exhaustion points right now. I don't think losing a starbase counts as any war exhaustion except for the normal stuff you'd get from losing control of a system. I'm trying a workshop mod which reduces war exhaustion from losing ships to 25% of what it is now, and halves the annual gain from just time in war. Right now it feels too low, but the AI is definitely able to win chunks of territory in wars. There's definitely a sweet spot in between where the numbers work best.

fantastic in plastic posted:My empire is at war. I've planted my flag in 4 enemy systems, conquered an enemy planet, and made their fleet retreat in shame. Why am I losing the war by 60%? War exhaustion doesn't work as a war score in the traditional paradox sense. You're winning the war, but you're close to being forced to end it by the defenders because of the ship losses you have taken. Winning battles isn't important, only ships that you've lost matters. You're probably at a high war exhaustion because you lost ships assaulting a station, while losing a station doesn't really affect the enemy's war exhaustion. When you hit 100% war exhaustion and the defenders take a Status Quo peace, you'll keep all of the systems you controlled and claimed. If the AI thought it was winning the war, it wouldn't take the status quo until you forced them to 100% exhaustion.

Gyrotica posted:https://twitter.com/Martin_Anward/status/968137319600574464 Wiz, be very careful about applying this to the defending empire. An empire losing a war against determined exterminators doesn't necessarily have the option to surrender and cut their losses.

hobbesmaster posted:At a certain point your economy will be wrecked so badly you can do nothing but desperately cling on. Losing influence and unit makes sense here at least. I guess I'm more concerned about multiplayer abuse. The AI will peace out if it hits 100%, but a hostile player can decide to lock you into a 100% exhaustion state so long as they're willing to take the hit as well.

Taear posted:The game needs to stop the AI declaring unwinnable wars. End Threat isn't a real War Goal, which is why they're -1000 to use it. It's an exterminator type war, which means they're gaining - losing systems as the war progresses instead of transferring the held claims at the end. Eventually the war will end because the winning side hits 100% war exhaustion and they sign a peace, but the borders stay where the front lines ended up. Of course, if you mean they started an unwinnable war because they're getting destroyed, that's federations for you.

Taear posted:Oh no they're not. They're not really doing anything. But the other side has been at -100% war exhaustion for ages and nothing is happening. That's intentional. 100% exhaustion forces you (until the beta patch) to accept a peace treaty. It doesn't require the other side to send one. They're probably up against a wall of star bases and don't think they can push further.

The Fallen Empire used the 'Punishment' CB, which doesn't have the -1000 modifier for surrender. Combining that with the always total wars vs. an exterminator type empires and that swarm was toast.

Habitats had to be nerfed, it was trivial to create an infinite spiral of energy and minerals with resource replicators. The only limiting factor in building more habitats was the micro involved.

This, and instead of having armies represented as separate units they simply attach to fleets or planets, magically teleporting to them after a few months. To prevent abuse just block moving armies around like that in systems with hostile starbases.

ZypherIM posted:Interesting, I'm running 600 stars (4 arm spiral) and 1.25x hab and 1x primitives and I had 2 same-planet types near-by (1 right next door, the other in the adjacent 'cluster', and 3 more off-biome planets similarly close. I generated a couple more games and each of them had 2 on-biome worlds nearby and 2+ off-biome worlds. What galaxy shape are you using? I guess I could try pushing to 1000 stars and swapping types and maybe try not-ironman to see if I can see what you're doing. The only changes to the defaults I made in my planetless start were 12 instead of 8 player empires, and random start locations instead of clustered.

I think that the source of the stutter must be in the global ship pathfinding thread's logic, it's pausing ship movement while it recalculates daily. Either that process was redesigned in 2.2 and broke a buffering system, or it never ran poorly before trade was introduced and the new mechanic is causing that process to respond slower. A simple (haha hahaha) fix is to run the trade pathfinding on a separate thread from the ship pathfinding so they can be computed in parallel, if the trade pathfinding is slow it wouldn't actually cause any noticable animation issues this way. Another option would be to stop calculating trade daily, and move it to a monthly process. You'd still get a monthly stutter, but it'd be less noticeable.

Arghy posted:I think i'm just at the fine line between it being worth the penalties and it being crippling. Do the math. Going from 3 to 4 planets in your game scenario will give you 33% more income in exchange for 20% additional costs. This is always a net gain. Because the penalties are linear, going from a 4th world to a 5th now increases your income by 25% more, but the higher costs are only 17%. Expanding is always a net gain. Getting more admin points is good, but you should absolutely give no fucks about it otherwise. Also, these penalties are only to soft resources such as unity and technology. Your mineral, energy and alloys production have no penalties at all and lead directly to you kicking other empire's asses. Blorange fucked around with this message at 08:54 on Dec 26, 2018 |

Maybe the reason Admin Cap is confusing people is that every other cap in the game has exponentially scaling penalties for exceeding it, but this one is strictly linear and not at all penalizing.

TraderStav posted:
Important note for peace, the center, "Status Quo" option is not a white peace. If you occupy systems that you have claims on they will become yours after a status quo, and it's possible to both lose and gain systems. A historical analog is the armistice line from the Korean War. 1. Yes, you have to claim their worlds to capture them after the war is done, and they're still in the game until they lose their last planet. 2. Yes, if you don't have claims. 3. You can roll through and dominate if you're playing a race of murderous bastards akin to the Borg or Zerg or whatever, which have special 'total war' CBs which instantly transfer the system to whoever occupies it. That is determined by civics at the start of the game, and I think most of these options are in the expansions. For your situation, expansions is limited by your claims and influence, but tech and traditions will make systems cheaper to claim as the game goes on.

A lot of people noticed that there isn't a spiritualist or egalitarian focused federation type, so I hope the base federation has enough ethics specific options to make them unique. All I really want is the option for a spiritualist focused federation that adds a large +spiritualist ethics shift for its members and a nice Join Federation CB to encourage more converts.

It's a poor design decision to appease the majority of players who don't understand how the admin cap was supposed to work, probably because Paradox keeps naming these things you're meant to exceed caps. Also it's the only 'Cap' that doesn't take into account your actual capacity, just how much you exceed it.
