Re: [Openme-developers] ME: Racial Abilities

[Angelo S. <ang...@oo...>]

Hi,

The overall picture looks good. I do not like negative allign 
however. If nothing has changed you only can get better
allign by killing an other negative alligned player.

So you force a palying style oppon a player: go and kill!

IMO the military payment varies to much ... KEA has it 
hard enough to kill another races ship! They shold get MORE
not LESS for their victroy.

150% weapon production cost is far to much also. They make
more money, ok. But why does one think they need to spend
also more money?

That the best war race gets on top of that an additional 
military payment is ironic. Well, it fits the race description ...

You have only XP changes for kills/death ... what is about trade,
building and research?

Some thoughts:

I had guessed that the tech race, paragon, can research more easy 
and gets more XP. On the other hand KEA could get more XP via 
trade and zyck via construction(and cheaper and less time).

Then it is more logical that Mawlor gets more XP via killing.
