Others wait till NAP like normal. This affects chances of success and results. Morrigi Gravboats are now a new ship class. This was preventing first turn fleet travel as they'd try to cast and then stop at 0 distance from planet. Removed a hard-coded requirement for Hiver to always have at least 2 colonization fleets. Now fleet builds based solely on template weights.

Eg, template weight per stance and min amount affect which fleets are built. For Loa to maintain some kind of sane fleet building logic, this behavior is preserved but to allow any fleet to assume any template composition, the fleet's name is used to preserve which template the fleet was originally based on.

Fleets will assume the composition of whichever template best fist the mission type. Fleets will generally travel in cube form and recombine at destination to template designs before executing mission and before any combat. In this way, any fleet can perform any mission. Improved Loa mission time estimates when calculating accelerator gate effect. Added a check on the final leg of any accelerator gate path check that does not have a node connecting the last two hops and calculated the slowdown effect on average speed.

Loa fleet mission assignments is now based solely on cube coute and distance to target as fleet composition can be anything. Selecting a fleet composition on mission assignment will now properly re-configure Loa fleets. Uses current relationship as basis for random declare war.

Grappler technology is now limited as a weapon per ship except by use of the Grappler module. That tag only affects the GUI Research Screen, preventing a player from accessing the tech there, but AI recieves access to all family roots and any techs listed as "Permanent" off a root node automatically evaluate to being available to a faction.

If they somehow get the first one, I suppose they can research the rest as they're unmodified. Disabled Reflective Coating for AI. Tech doesn't work.

Because they can't go farther up? Is there a pop growth problem? Should be the first weapon researched for all? Increased Rapid-Pulse Laser research incentive for all factions to increase Point Defense research incentive.

Decreased Combat Algorithm incentive from. Why not have zuul trading? Local trade only but AI factions rarely do intra-trade anyway! Limited to 1 minimum required. This frees up valuable admirals for other fleets and hivers Don't really need many survey fleets - the need many gate fleets instead! Fix "Ships have been recycled in. Disolving Assimilator only removes ship, no cube reduction?

Is LOA rebuilding gate lines? Test Supply ship requirements in fleet templates do all factions need 2? But what if fleet not at a build-capable world? AI Science Station module selection logic? Fix drone sounds for all factions Starting station too big? Interesting item, but I guess this is an easier route to take given a lot of legendary combos would be hard to balance. Kind of sucks that you can't use two powers of your choice and are limited to the covenant power.

Yet its better than nothing, and I don't mind having my covenant power being amped up either. The night fae has the worst covenant legendary for my shadow priest. You're essentially forcing me to covenant swap to Necrolord to take the insanely overpowered Pallid Command And how will they do with the stats? I don't understand this.
