...So thats why its called the hunter plot. Sounds like Fun, capital intended.Yea, it's a bit like the normal game, except there's a flaming skeletal adamantine elephant out there somewhere waiting for you to come out to play.
My "advanced logging" feature is enabled. Now how do I see what's going on inside the game?Well, what specifically do you want to know? If you want to know the size and composition of those vengeance exos you can look in LogicLog_EventAttackPopulation.txt (other exos will go in there too).
Is this intended (not sure if I should Mantis it or not, I don't really understand its intended behavior)?Its intended behavior is to throw a tantrum exo whenever you destroy something at least vaguely important to it, with the importance factoring into just how big said exo is. There's quite a few objects that trigger it and the description should be (not sure if it is) kind of open-ended about exactly what triggers it.
It would make the IV HBC seem rather awkward with its literal 1 cap though.I don't think it would mind, it's used to being the odd man out.
I asked Keith about a Heavy Beam Cannon version of the turret controller.Maybe some day, but let's see what it takes to get the existing turret controllers balanced, and that will help us know how much of an HBC (presumably just one) each planet can stand
... he declined.
Very well, then. Here's the Mantis for the Hunter Plot issue.Fixed it, thanks
I already sent you into the logs Keith, but when starting a game at 8/8 with shark and hunter at 10 / 10 with bouncer / chiv ai and reservists / chiv ai I immediately get unhandled errors. They start immediately upon starting the game and continue to occur intermittently.Ok, I just tried this exact setup myself and no errors. Could you post a save where you're getting errors? Thanks
I haven't noticed anything broken yet.Clearly I'm not trying hard enough
Been playing with mine enthusiasts as secondary AIs because I hate life.The mines will all too happy to deprive your units of that which you hate.
I'm torn. Some folks just want to dink around.That's fine, I'm just asking what's the lowest difficulty level they shouldn't be able to dink around with that kind of "relentlessly apply pattern, pay little to no attention to the actual board" strategy. Because I'm assuming you wouldn't want it to work on Expert 4 any more than you'd want "put 30 space docks and 50 engineers on FRD-loop-build pointed at the AI homeworlds" to work on 9/9 in AIW
Not necessarily. I'm fine if you can do that on Easy, but I'm not fine with there being no consequence for that. Heck, if you can do that on Expert and survive the storm that unleashes, that's probably fine as well -- so long as it's sufficiently insanely hard.To clarify I mean literally just building towns in straight lines away from the origin, not paying any attention at all to what the units on the map do or making any effort to impact them. The only variation/choice-making would be in how much of each town to fill out before building the next one.

I think that Easy should not be much harder than it is now, although a little more in general; the super cheese like that really shouldn't be possible beyond sandbox. The others, would ramp up from there.So if I can just build two lines away from the origin on Easy 1 and reach the end of the game without losing that would be a balance problem you'd want resolved before 1.0?
