Just adding on, you can also spam the option over and over and over in a row even though it's a timed bonus. |

i think many of these andor actions are potentially exploitable right now. in my game tonight i found that the 'Send Medical Aid' action gave a nice bonus to mutual relations between the races so i used it. I then found that i could do the same action again straight away for more relations boosts but no other effect as positive medical trend was already established. (screens attatched, pop ups are from log entry directly below window) now in the case of the andor actions which affect RCI trends a simple fix would be to not allow the action to occur if the trend they would affect already exists (i.e. the positive medical trend in my game) the other actions which can be exploited such as Zulgaines describes above actions which boost one RCI stat on every planet, need to become time limited or something like that to avoid spam potential... andors only able to do them once every 3 years? or some better solution i'm sure you'll think of ;) side note... i am thoroughly enjoying TLF in its current state... can't wait for the coming quests to add more diversity to the game ;) EDIT: thinking about it, my suggested fix for the RCI trend andor actions would still be exploitable as i could just pop over to the skylax world, get them to start a positive economic trend, and then head back to the andors for another 'send medical aid' relations boost. Perhaps a timed solution here too? |

Not being able to create trends that already existed doesn't actually fix the exploit, and you don't even have to pop over to another world, you'd just swap between two Andor gifts to change the trends back and forth to get around it. Truly, can't think of any good solutions... Giving them a time requirement could prevent adapting to changing situations, such as sudden declerations of war, or disasters, etc. In the end though, you can consider buying bribe items the standard for no time credit to influence conversion, then price accordingly. So basically, you get the same influence for you buck, but the bonus for maintaining a good Andor relationship is that they throw in some RCI (or other) generosity... |
