Just wait till you figure out how smart those damn cpus can be with full cpu set and how ridiculous the biggest map in twilight of the arnor is. That'll take a month at least, but it will be an awesome month (if you really know the game beforehand, otherwise you'll die early). But it is awesome. Just pace yourself.

I kind of think that medieval total war handled it best, with a major penalty trait for the immediate descendants that lessened over generations, but I think it should take a few generations to build up enough to be debilitating. I think it'd be hilariously twisted to let you marry off children with inheritable negative traits as a sort of weapon. It's amazing how crippling a few genetic disorders were, such as Mary Queen of Scots' case of porphyria screwing up endless royalty to the bursts o

I think that the idea of a checkbox labeled 'keep up to date' is the best so far, because the vast majority of technological changes in that era were ways of making superior goods for the same amount of work, so it's not like making a unit with less advanced weaponry would necessarily make it cheaper. I think that the auto-upgrading should be on the commodity level if the intricate economic system is used, that is, make all newly produced items of a type automatically be the most advanced typ

It'd require a little bit of tweaking to make work though, but I'll try to walk you through it.

Excellent, our cunning plan to turn this thread into an image board is proceeding as planned. Also, I think the reason edit isn't working is because the title's too long and it's messing up everything else. I'm going to try to get back to work on the mod soonish, but school's about to start back up and I need to deal with relearning things I should already know, so I wouldn't expect the other races for a while, probably christmastime.

No, don't overwrite the main game file, go in game to options->mods and hit view mod path, then drop it in that folder and then reload sins and it should appear on the list of mods.
What I really want to see is Crimson Skies. Same folks who came up with Mechwarrior, but crazy awesome 1930s with zeppelins for commerce and AIR PIRATES! Zeppelin riding, fighter flying air pirates! That and the fact that it was the best ode to 1930s style action drama this side of Indiana Jones, oh god what a game that was. Sure they're working on mechwarrior first, but they also got the CS license, and have said kinda obliquely that they had plans for it. I have to say that's probably my fa

Internal consistency is also quite important just so it makes sense. If magic follows set laws, it makes the handwave of 'researching' spells

You mean the battleship ones with wierd names? Also, are you running revision 6 or a patched revision 5? I'll try to see what I can do to figure it out, but I did not notice any errors like that.
Good, but doesn't help in this case. The problem is that the cap for orks is the same as the cap for imperials with considerably more powerful starbases, which would make imperials ridiculously powerful. It's that I can't specify how many you can have per well by starbase type. That and the fighter ones are working pretty close to right. One last test then I release. EDIT: I'm increasing the tac caps drastically, I'm going to let costs limit your defensive allocations and allow truly
[quote]Perhaps make the Roks miny, mobile starbases rather than ships?[/quote] Think starbases are limited to one per well. Wish you could specify the cap per well on the entity file. That'd be awfully convenient. They're almost fully tested as being working right, though, and it's not too bad. The only thing is that turrets still fire when they get close, but oh well. It's as close as I can get.
