Game balance

September 15, 2017 5:08:03 PM from Galactic Civilizations III ForumsGalactic Civilizations III Forums

Lower populations, and then I have to build 4 farms in order to build one city?

Seriously?

What, exactly, do you guys think the term "game balance" means?

Two things:

Higher quality farms produce more.  Adjacency bonuses produce more.

Population now = 1 production point.  Before, it was the square root.

Before: Population of 9 = 3 production points.

Now: Population of 9 = 9 production points.

I think the problem is that so many of the early game buildings are terribly inefficient on 3 pop worlds, but to build a decent production base on a colony requires an enormous number of tiles dedicated to feeding it.  You're looking at something like one 2-city world for every 2 worlds dedicated to farming for a large portion of the game which feels really inconsequential.
