Artificial Slave Center

from GalCiv2 Forums

First, my current is the first game in which I've seen an AI build an evil-only building. So thats a good thing. However the one they (2 did this) built was the Artificial Slave Center; and I already had one for some time. I just wasn't aware that there could be more than one in a game. Is it supposed to be possible to have more than one?

My other question is, when I take the AI planet that has this improvment on it, will it stack with the one I already have? Will my ships production incease further? I'm guessing YES since everything in this game stacks.  I can't wait to have 3.

Now if they would both just build Hyperion shrinkers.

The Artifical Slave Center is a Super Project just like the Hyperion Shrinker so each race is allowed to build one.

The ASC is kind of funky in that it's bonus is a hard coded 50% bonus to each planets *base* military production. What this means is that the ASC does more than just stack (i.e. is additive) it actually multiplies all other source of production bonus that you have.

Another aspect of this is that the benefit of the ASC is not shown in the Civilization Manager under your abilities as all other global bonuses are shown. The only real way to notice the effect is to see how much more military production each planet has when producing a ship versus social production when producing a building.

Regretably having two or more ASC's does nothing, you either get the 50% base production boost if you have one (or more) ASC's or you don't if you have none.
