Patch to Upgrade structures in 1 turn
Posted: Fri Apr 27, 2018 8:51 pm
Hi Everyone,
I am not sure what to considered this patch an enhancement or a human cheat or both?
I have been working on his patch for mirror universe mod.
Since I plan on using Tech Level Bonus Factors, I never thought it was fair to have tech 1 build cost at tech 20 on Main structures. So I will have 5 main structures (4 structure upgrades) at tech 1, tech 5, tech 10, tech 15, tech 20. Each upgrade will give a slight bonus increase.
This patch will allow any upgrade (main structures or scanner) to upgrade in a single turn or buy for 1 credit (I don't know why any human player would buy when it is only one turn, so it is just in case AI does it )
Note; scanners was not intended, but an acceptable compromise IMHO.
I consider it as a software update of equipment to improve performance for structures. So it only takes a short time.
In my tests the AI upgraded more structure than without patch.
