Birth of the Federation

Hi Kellir! A large minor can prevent one or more majors from getting started. I propose minors stay small for x amount of time. The starting population of minor civs is similar to that of empires, it's a % of max pop depending on your starting civilization level. You're probably starting at Advance...

a few things I have noticed. A large minor can prevent one or more majors from getting started. I propose minors stay small for x amount of time. AI does not understand that orbital batteries require power. Can you add some kind of power check if the AI is thinking about making an orbital? The AI ca...

Can't find saved games. Is that on your end or mine?

I have noticed that the AI uses all races as one race. The Roms protect the Borg. The Feds protect the Roms. They are not allied. The AI needs to treat all races as single races UNLESS they are allied.

Just spent twenty turns trying to do fleet combat. The Feds just move to another of my systems. There is no attack unless I forget to move my fleet and the Feds attack my system.

How can the Feds see my cloaked fleet in the middle of MY space?

True, but I would still set it up as early TNG where they ripped colonies off the face of a planet.
Or
as on Enterprise where the took over the ship and changed it.

Destroy. Like in TNG. The colony, people and ships were just ripped from the planet leaving a gaping hole. It make take a few turn to clean out a system but only a turn to clean out a new colony.

I would rather see a total redesign of the Borg. Set them back to an early TNG style. Borg start with one Cube and no base. The ship has unlimited fuel. Borg do not destroy ships but consume them as resources for new Probe ships and some tech points. Borg do not turn a system but instead rip the pop...

No need. I have come to the conclusion that conquest is stupid in this setup. Just nuke them and recolonize for a quick shipyard.
Making colony ships takes less time than transports and I ONLY need one colony ship per system.
Don't think I will be playing Feds any time soon.

Feds (me) capture a Card system I can not upgrade the buildings OR they will upgrade but not all the way. Tech of the buildings may be level 3 but the feds (me) is level 7. OR Tech of the buildings may be level 6 but the feds (me) is level 7. in this case i was able to upgrade the captured system fr...

Captured systems do not have a building upgrade.
I can delete them and build my own.
Bug went away after a restart.

Borg fleet takes over a system
it then moves into the heart of the Romulan empire
Romulans kill the system
Borg fleet is now stuck in the middle of the Romulan empire
Borg does nothing for the rest of the game.

Borg should have scrapped the diamond, built an assembler and rescued the cubes.

Just a thought. I enjoy playing LAAM but it has one problem i never did like. The AI will only get between 20 to 30 systems and stop. It will not expand through combat or colonizing.

Can you change that some how?

I have been playing LAAM. Only a couple of crashes. Much better than it used to be.

ok, got a new problem.
I can use the mouse as long as I dont pick on a ship. If i do pick on a ship to tell it where to go the mouse will return to 32,10 on the map.
