[quote who="DMF" reply="7" id="3646892"] Have you gotten the Intimidation invasion tactic to work? I have the Xeno Intimidation tech but it never shows up. Playing 2.20.[/quote] There is a typo in the Tech_Requirement for this tactic. It's set to "Xeno Intimidation" instead of "XenoIntimidation". I missed that the last time I checked the file. Though, to be honest, I was expecting this tactic to be working. It had been almost a year since MabusAltarn split Informa

[quote who="abelisari" reply="1751" id="3632727"] Hi everybody, I just reinstalled GC2 Ultimate from Steam. Now I'm not sure how to procede to install the CU? [/quote] You don't need to do anything. The CU is already included. No idea why the beta is still available though. It's identical with the current release version.

Ship Quality Bonus increases the attack and defence rating of ships, while the Ship Hit Point Bonus increases the hit points. SQB is a planetary bonus. I.e., it only appears on planets (either through colonisation events or a planetary improvement) and only works for ships built on that planet. Originally, the Arcean Stellar Forge was the only planetary improvement that granted it. However, the CU added the bonus to the Altarian Doomsday Generator and the Hyperion Shipyard too.

[quote]I`ve set habitable planets to abundant (or how is it called) so I should have a mass of habitable planets. [/quote] Only in Dark Avatar or the base game. The max amount of habitable planets has been drastically reduced in Twilight of the Arnor. From what I recall, this was done to reduce the memory usage and allow a bigger map size (Immense). Still, you should have at least one habitable planet per star system. So, are you absolutely certain you've set the habi

[quote who="ERIS6" reply="293" id="3626720"] So, are those races no longer minor, or we were used to consider them even less than minor? [/quote] No, they are still minor (i.e., they have restrictions which the major races don't have). The only difference compared to the regular game is, that the minor races now have access to more advanced AI algorithms, so that they can make better use of the few resources they have. Well, and some small changes to their racial abiliti

[quote who="Seilore" reply="6" id="3625176"] Refresh your history, custom factions were added with the Dark Avatar Expansion. [/quote] No, they weren't. DA added the ability to play against custom factions, and provided more options to customise them. However, you could already play as a custom faction in DL. Just start up DL, if you don't want to believe me.

Hey guys, I've finally got a response from Yarlen. Apparently, the delay was due to Stardock being very focused on finishing Ashes of the Singularity (which is understandable, in my opinion). So, the update for the CU will be added to the base game. Though it still might take a while.
