Yup... that's pretty much it. Electronics usually disappear first because you may have noticed that the AI houses build stacks of officers on B2... and then try to turn them into spies, all of which takes a lot of electronics. Set it so that officers and spies both require a simple tech (one that yo...

Okay, long as I'm offering advice here's some more for mod makers dealing with rebalancing production. The biggest part of the reason resource disappear from agora is that they are used up by the AIs of other houses. They do this, and continue to do this throughout the game, because the AI doesn't h...

De Moley does belong to the Church (as does Pyre and Pentateuch), but is controlled by Brother Battle. While Brother Battle does operate as the military arm of the Church, they are also their own order with their own politics. Think of it as being kind of like the friction between politicians and ge...

Funny you should ask, I was just thinking of putting together a complete list of what sects each of the planets belong too as I happen to have all the FS books. Give me a few days and I'll see what I can come up with (might be next weekend). BTW, you'll have to make some creative adjustments as ther...

Well Sukayo... the secret is safe with me... and a few hundred of our new best friends here. ;) Right Maur, its just coolness factor. If you want to change it though, you gotta build a lot more cities. Each one is worth 10 votes. Training more clergy will help a little (1 vote each) and oddly enough...

I'm not sure I understand you correctly. Why do you think being able to set a planet's sect to something other than Orthodoxy is a bug? It is clearly not a bug but an intended part of the design that was never fully implemented. Many people, unfamiliar with the quirky nature of the map editor may no...

Normally resource markers aren't assignable to a faction. This is because in the SRTBUILD.DAT they are neutral by default (interestingly so are ruins and alien ruins, but monostaries are not neutral). If you want them to be assignable, then set the neutral value to 0... a value of 1 in this column m...

Been a long while since I posted here. Thought I'd drop by and share a tip about map editing since there still seems to be a lot of active interest. Although the church sects and elections don't really do anything (that we know of)... it can add a little color to the game to actually have different ...

Chris Hogan?

Was over at his web site today, which is very nice and wanted to compliment him on it as well as discuss a few things. But the email address listed bounced Was wondering if anyone knew how to get in touch with him.

If so, drop me a line at my email or have him email me.

Personally I think House Hazat was potentially the most powerful and might have won out if it weren't for the unexpected war with the Kurgans drawing off their resources. While Decados was certainly powerful they were not the military experts the Hazat were and were also plagued by a great deal of i...

I'm still around, just a bit busy these days is all. Had to move my web site twice, and been busy with a variety of projects.<P>One of those projects was a short story set in the FS universe entitled "Slow Fade To Black". There is a copy of this on my own web site<P><a HREF="http://ww...
