I didnt know about the structure. But now that I know its a bit silly.
I have read it carefully and I agree with all except this one.
CHANGLING NETWORK - 15% Intelligence
Only 15% on Intel for Dominion??? Come on! At leas 25%, at least.

But you have to consider the Romulans and Cardassians as well, both these races have extensive intelligence networks, the Dominion has bonuses elsewhere.

yea well you have to have tlak to jig about it but its jigs call and its his project

EDIT- take back that remark

I think 15% is fair coz if it wasnt it would start to give them an unfair advantage and so on

Well, changelings tricked and crushed Obsidian order and did significant damage to Tal'Shiar, so they're really good.

still its jigs call

I think 15% is right coz if you were gonna do it propley they would be pretty much imposible to beat on intel lol so this just makes game alot fairer

jig what say ye?

I think 15 % is fine considering the game balance, besides they have other advantages, though the higher intel. bonus for Dom is more 'realistic'.

its obviously been discussed before this, (i remember discussions ages ago to do with these structures) and 15% was agreed on obviously. Everyone here seems to think that 15% is a good figure and i agree, the dominion are unstoppable if played using canon, so there is no point forcing the issue.

Mod want to close this topic?

^ so say you sirNemanjapro?

There is one primary issue that people must comprehend with this game, and quite often it seems to pass them by. In BOTF, structures with 25% and 50% bonuses were precisely measured for balance in collation with the amount of available resources on offer in the galactic map that the game had. This game will incorporate a much vaster map, with many many more systems and minors to add to your hoarded strength. By the time you've conquered half the galaxy, and say have 200 systems under your belt, think where 15% Intel will get you then? It's a huge bonus when you look at it like this, and that's why all the global resource bonuses for research, intel, diplomacy etc are lower.

Of course, we have to precisely measure these strengths with beta testing, only then can we fine tune these values. It might be that 15% results in a way too big a bonus, or too little. We just don't know yet. On the Empire structures list it states quite clearly that all bonus figures are for the time being provisional...
