It is likely that some players would enjoy conquering all six major races and all 143 minor races, which means I should create a 100% minor race game. This series of advanced save games is built upon 90% although in practice by random galactic assortment, it falls to less than this amount. I presume...

Troop training and starbase training rewards planners who pile them up in those sectors as they can gain enormous experience. The longer they sit there and train, the stronger they are by high experience which largely affects repairing damage. But the earlier you make them, then is costing a very la...

Most of the time, you want bare bones colony ships and transports as they get used up in the process of colonizing or becoming an outpost or starbase. You want some specialized colony ships doing terraforming in risky areas and then going to the next sector and keep building up experience and gettin...

The most militaristic major race ends up being the least threat due to sabotage vulnerability, weaker troops due to less levels, weaker outposts and starbases. It seems intentional and illogical in my opinion. The Khaoran should provoke fear instead. It should be that you want them as allies and not...

All starbases have the command duty. http://birth-of-the-empires.de/wiki/index.php?title=Schiffsaufgaben#Kommandoschiff_.28Commando_ship.29_.283.29 Command ship (ship command) (3) All maneuvers during a battle are coordinated from command ships (assignment = 3) .

Some outposts have the anti-melee atribute aka a dogkiller ship duty Anti-melee ships are medium-sized ships whose main purpose is to destroy small ships. 20% bonus when fighting small ships mediocre maneuverability http://birth-of-the-empires.de/wiki/index.php?title=Schiffsaufgaben http://birth-of-...

60-70% of the galaxy is terraformed already so to do it right means the next time I do a total multiplayer for all six empires, then taking the time to record all of that terraforming time which changes by research and ship type. Then posting the galactic analysis. On a maximum galaxy, you are far e...

I'm really dreading it, but if I write a little spreadsheet for the entire matrix of a maximum 40 * 40 galaxy an realizing there is some randomization, then recording every map coordinate's star type, planet class, size, and growth rate then is useful data. The right way would be to record the terra...

If we had scripting and could add events, then based on a turn number or range of turns, for say the human player(s) being at a map coordinate , then display a text message. That is how we have stories in BotE. Visiting every map coordinate based on turn ranges, then the first time between a range o...

BotE doesn't have to be just about conquest, but if story elements are added and missions, then it could be about exploration and discovery in a magnificent galaxy. Generally you want to reward the players who do so. Then BotE isn't see alien smash alien.

Cygnus X-1, the first black hole discovered in 1964, is actually bigger than astronomers presumed. Or maybe it has grown?
