Summary0015993: Betrayal Mode: Upgrading an armada really should take (some) game time
DescriptionI just finished my first Betrayal game on Normal.
At first things were fairly close. If not for my intervention my armadas would have been way too weak to fight of the just-got-spacefaring races which decided to pick me as a target.

I was fairly close on Xenotime as well, so upgrading my armadas went at a slow pace as well - which was good as it kept the tension as well as providing a feeling of real progression.

Then I conquered the Acutian homeworld which has been devastated by several events and captured a cache of 200k Xenotime.

What followed is obvious: I upgraded every single armada I had up to strength 100 (a jump of 50 to 60 base power for most) - instantaniously.

There is no way the races could ever compete with that. From there on the game was a walk in the park. I was no longer threatened a single time - ever.

TLDR: Armada upgrades need to cost game time, likely not too much, but them being free in this regard is favoring the player way too much.

For 1.610:

* The player-initiated actions for constructing armadas and upgrading armadas from the Armada Management window now happen gradually (based on player manufacturing rate) rather than instantly.

Thanks :)
