Re: Proportions and Facilities

Re: Proportions and Facilities

Ok, my concrete proposal is:

1. Remove all upgrade options for cities and complexes. That is, the only option is to scrap and replace. Tough? Yes, but at least you won't feel that you're lagging...

Just think about it: in the original SEIV, you would develop a planet in a certain way, but this...

Re: Proportions 2.4.2 released

Speaking of upgrades, I find it very irritating that ECM II (for example) upgrades to ECM Ia. This is something you never want to do to your ships.

What you do want is, after getting new tech, to...

Re: Proportions mod: So confusing!

Another question on Proportions design.

The cities and cultural centers have phased shields. This makes it nearly impossible to take out a homeworld in early or mid-game, even one of a minor race...
