Range values and how to mod for a more epic game.

from GalCiv2 Forums

Hello GC2 players, i only got this game last week but im really enjoying it despite the problems of ships having a range value that is just stupidly large, even from the beginning.

So basically what i would like to know is how i can make ship range much reduced, especially on the larger maps to get a more epic game feeling.

You can mod a free technology in (just don't assign a TP cost) which introduces the range penalty you want.

Alternatively, you can simply mod the raceconfig file to give each race the penalty.

I tried the raceconfig.xml penalty but it didnt seem to make any big difference, ToA btw if that makes a difference.

How large a penalty did you give? I find -150 good for my purposes.
