difference in offsetting racial bonus |
In the racial traits tab of the empire creation window, there are two traits:
physical strength - +5% GC, crew have a combat strength of +5 when fighting off ship capture
physical weakness - -5% GC, crew have a combat strength of -3 when fighting off ship capture
if you choose both(which is possible), will this give you a 5-3 = 2 bonus when fighting off ship capture, or will one of the numbers be used (since its worded "have", not "increase/decrease", and in the text file it only says "Boarding Defense Modifier Percent")? and if so, which one?
Re: difference in offsetting racial bonus
hah. cheating should not be possible in game creation. who doesnt look for max bonuses?
anyway, some of my favs so far are:
* no space depots
* +25% space yards
* -25% supply
and you can get them all on a 2000 game.
Re: difference in offsetting racial bonus
Just as a mental exercise I suppose? Your kind of breaking the spirit of the game (cheating) by taking both bonuses. When your making a race build them with a nich in mind, not how can I maximize and get as many bonuses as I can.
I suppose you might be able to come up with an explination for being boh weak and strong...
If your wondering why the game is too easy, try playing with fewer bonuses (but still give the Ai those bonuses).
SEV, more than a feeling.
