1:18:20 The percentage of public research contribution is always out of the amount already contributed, not the total amount. Being over 50% there just means you're currently ahead, not that you can rest on your laurels. Look at the actual number (under the big icon) to see whether you have enough for a certain lock. In this case you did, but you get this wrong several other times.

Treat it like a sequel or a new game, and the changes won't wreck you, but they've implemented some core AI behavior that wasn't in before, so the game plays differently. Not _that_ differently, but I can't clarify without spoiling 🙂 Great game, but it's "a lot".

@heikkisuora2500 18 күн бұрын

You don't get spoils or any other benefits from abandoned control points. You can, however, still use them to set priorities. Usually you should set them on economy/welfare/knowledge to repair the damage done during the exploitation period. Unless you want to keep ruining it for other factions.

The Israeli-Pal War seems to happen in most games early on from my experience since new patch. Funny enough in the Beta while testing I had one game where both diplomatically merged. I was like...whoa now... aliens invading Earth I can accept, but Israel and Palestine peacefully merging...now that's just crazy. Also not sure if its a bug or not but with this patch there is some bizarre things going on with nations merging and federations. Like you can form United North America immediately by owning both the USA and the Caribbean states, think thats the name of it, whatever the Bahamas is merged with. Dunno why you can, but you can without the tech. Also Canada and the UK can form a federation as well without any tech. Korea will form if you control north and south korea as well without any techs required. Just some bizarre stuff going on, not sure its intentional or not.

@debott4538 23 күн бұрын

Palestine did literally not exist as its own in-game nation until the 0.4 update, so there is no way you could have seen them peacefully uniting before. You are probably referring to Israel merging into the United Arab League, which was and still is indeed possible and rather jarring. But, yes, I think Israel conquering Palestine will be not uncommon in the current state of the game. I am not sure whether that is a good thing or not. It does reflect reality rather accurate at least. Federations forming without any tech is not bizzare at all and has been possible for a long time. The only requirement for federations is that one nation has to have a claim on any region of another nation or federation. In your examples, the Carribean States have a claim on San Juan which is part of the USA. Therefore both nations are allowed to form a federation. Similarly Canada, the UK and the EU all start with a claim on George Town. However, forming a federation does not automatically entail that these nations can also merge into a single nation. For this there must be a claim on the capital region of another nation, which is not the case in these examples and rather rare in general at the game's start.

Why would he go for Kazachstan if he is so heavily invested in the US / North America? I would imagine Florida provides more than decent boost?

@debott4538 23 күн бұрын

Short answer: The more Boost the better. Slightly longer answer: At game start the US produces 2,3 Boost per month (but also costs 200CP to maintain). Meanwhile Kasakhstan produces 2,5 Boost (and costs only 20CP). So in fact the Boost value for Kasakhstan is >10 times greater than the US. And before you ask, yes this is crazy imbalanced and needs to be changed, IMO.

I have this game and sortied into it a couple of times - My opinion is that it is too complex and it takes too long to get into the meat of what i consider the game selling point - space combat. A lot of fine tuning and some change of direction toward a less complex start might help

@debott4538 21 күн бұрын

The game's selling point is only partially space warfare. I'd say about 40% at most, and it's not the game's strong suit, I think. The developers are planning to introduce a campaign set somewhere in the 2070s with a lot more human space presence established. This should omit a lot of the early earth-based build-up.

Do you need _all_ of the control points of the United States? No one can take the last control point unless they own at least one other control point, right? Obviously, you'd want to get it, eventually. I was just wondering if you could wait a bit, early on.

@debott4538 22 күн бұрын

Yes, you can take only 5/6 of the control points and lock down on the US that way. It's a good strategy if you want to focus on other nations quicker. Other factions cannot do the Control Nation mission on that last free control point. However, there is a somewhat rare game event called "Volunteer" that can semi-randomly trigger for another faction to still gain that last free CP. I know this, because it happened to me once.

@patricklambert437 22 күн бұрын

I am a specialist of strategy games, and i have logged 300 hours in this one, but to be honest, i am beginning to be really fed up with it. It is not intuitive at all and i am yet to really finish one set-up. In fact, i am fed up spending countless hours managing things by increments of 2 or 3 % like loyalty for exemple. When you inspire someone, it works or it does not. What is the logic of having loyalty moving up 2 % at a time and having to repeat it countless times on countless councellors ? Time consuming and ridiculous even. And this is only one exemple. Fed up with sending a fleet with 12 kps from low earth orbit hitting the ISS station in low earth orbit, fleet that is finally unable to move because automatic battle solving has consumed all KPS. Not only is it unable to transfer but we dont even have the option to force the station to surrender when we just killed all its defenses including a 12 vessels fleet. Any station would surrender in this case rather than being destroyed. Fed up with spending days building a strong earth and space economy to lose everything in 5 minutes because i forgot whatever research i did not even know existed. This game still needs a lot. The KPS system has to be reworked completly when it is within the same planetary system. I understand the KPS system to move from earth to luna and beyond, but when i fight between low earth and intermediate earth, i should not have KPS problems when i start with 10+ of these. We need more options at start like forgetting loyalty or playing without the servants which i would lke to do. Good job Quill18 doing a stream on this game, and i will sure watch it, but IMO terra invicta is very far from being complete. At the moment, for the average player, it is nothing but a frustration factory.

@debott4538 22 күн бұрын

You can set missions like 'inspire' as permanent assignment for a while. It's only one click. Maneuvering in space costs fuel, that's just how physics works. When runnig out of fuel, you can refill with tanker vessels.

@patricklambert437 22 күн бұрын

Ii is not only one click because of what it implies: it means blocking a councellor for whatever useless turns, speculating obviously that he is never going to fail. As for tankers i know the drill as well but i discuss the common sense : the fact that a fleet of frigate and monitors built in space shipyards on earth and bearing 12 KPS cannot have enough fuel to fight once in earth's space against another human fleet without being followed by tankers to be able to return. Appears to me as being quite... unsavory to say the least. If i have played so long, it is obviously because this game IMO has a lot of potential, but i stand by the fact that adding layers after layers of disputable dogmas does not make a good game. Yet. I have tried it again because of Quill's stream but i believe this is really the last time.

@@debott4538 So we are not different at all. :) We have played lots of hours because we feel that this game has something, but we never really finish most of those games because of the tediousness of some aspects or some very disputable dogmas. Not really natural, i think.I have never played the "accelerated" version that Quill is playing now, might save some frustration, but it is not enough. I still feel that a lot of tweaking has to be done to save tediousness in areas like loyalty, or intra orbits moving and fighting. Among others places. So i am leaving now. Might be back in 2 years, who knows. Have a nice week-end.
