[quote who="RiddleKing" reply="3" id="3179982"] quoting post This may explain why The Advent Loyalists even with +50% culture rate can't overpower the culture of other factions- after all if that 50% only affects the rate at which culture moves down phase lanes, it doesn't do much when the opponent has enough culture or culture repel to prevent it from moving at all. If this is the case, the culture techs are even more useless then I'd assum
[quote who="Skote" reply="6" id="3179817"]The capital ships cost the same as the labs themselves. It actually costs more in the end to use ship labs because of the research required for them. There really isn't any good way to nerf shipboard labs with out making them completely nonviable.[/quote] Bull. you're going to be buying capitalships regardless- they aren't a cost added by the ability that you pay instead of building labs. Not to
And I noticed that the Expulsion Buff seems to increase "CultureSpread", but all of the conventional Culture techs seem to use "AdjustCultureSpread Rate " Do you think this means that all of the general culture techs don't actually increase culture generation, but rather increase how quickly culture mvoes down phase lanes(when it is moving)? This may explain why The Advent Loyalists
When you say first rank military labs, second civil labs do you mean 1 lab/ship at each rank or 2 labs per ship? Honestly I don't think we'll be able to balance ship-board labs as long as a mere 4 capitalships will give 8 labs of each type.
Advent Loyalists are actually considered underpowered at the moment- the advent rebels are actually a lot scarier. That said, here are some tips on fighting them: 1). Go for the mothership from the start- it's mcuh easier to kill then the titan and does a tremendous amount to sustain the rest of the fleet(it has a fleetwide shield regen ability). Also, make sure to interrupt that fleetwide regen buff(it's a channeled

[quote who="Volt_Cruelerz" reply="35" id="3179206"]If you want to go with culture warfare, I've been advocating Clairvoyance getting culture spread from the target planet since early Diplo and stuck it in Rebalanced Races. That's something I've always felt was something that would be good for the game but probably too drastic for the devs to implement. That said, an AL starting with a Revelation and culture-bombing the enemy early-on could actually be pretty useful. &n
So I just ahd an interesting thought on another less conventional direction direction Coronata buffs could take. What if Suppression Aura gained the following secondary effect: Suppression Aura: In addition to the current effect, the culture output of all enemy culture buildings in whatever gravity well the Coronata inhabits are reduced by 50/60/70/80%.

[quote who="vyolin" reply="16" id="3178836"]Based on limited personal experience I would like to throw in my opinion: I have to digress on the opinion that SttC should be considered an endgame tech/mechanic. While it definitely looks like one, it is countered more or less effectively by culture. Planets you cannot colonize are as blocked to you as are stripped ones to the enemy. Should an enemy manage to shut down or delay your scorched earth advance you may find yourse
[quote who="Howdidudothat" reply="5" id="3178723"]Easy up on the nerf hammer there buddy. I'd suggest lvl 1 on titan research (thereby requiring 1 military lab) for mobile rulership. Your strip to the core ideas are nice, but durations and cost are excessive. Remember, you want to balance things, not nerf them into oblivion.[/quote] While in general I agree with you, the problem isn't just "too much resources too ea
I fully agree that ship-borne Labs is half the problem. Shipborn labs should give 1 military lab per capitalship at rank 1 and 1 of both types of labs per capitalship at rank 2. That way rank 2 is as strong as the current rank 1- and both ranks are needed for shipborne labs to help the vasari loyalist player towards stripped. Also, while I agree stripping should take longer(and rather like the idea o

I's broken, period. Nanoleech on it's own does has an impact greater then other entire titans. Honestly I think the hull drain would have been fine on it's own. It's the AM drain that pushes it over the edge. 300 AM frome evry enemy capitalship means the ability counters capitalships every bit as hard as it counters frigates. not to mention wit hthe stupid amoun

The VL can perform a strategy called strip-rushing in which they can hit 2000 fleet supply in 30 minutes, enough to steamroll anyone else early on. The VR on the other hand are OP late-game. Their specialized techs and mobile starbases (this in particular) make them OP. Mobile Orkies are effectively psuedo-titans that cost no fleet supply and h

Game's hard enough to balance with 1 titan per faction. It's a cool idea in principal, but not really realistic at this time.

You sure your fleet supply wasn't used up? Subjugating Assault will only steal ships if you have enough available fleet supply to support them.
