Claim System Rebalanced

Claim System Rebalanced


2.0.*

I notice from playing that i could claim half the ai empire then invade, focusing on the planets which will push them to agree to my terms even if I didn't have actual control of all the system I wish to get.
This could be done repeatedly which would kind of break the system.

This mod is to focus on making claims cost more so that it will be harder to simply claim half the enemy empire in a few months.
it will not cost you a good deal of influence which will make wars more smaller movements of taking another's land/systems.

Also making claims while at war as the attacker has been increased since it never felt much difference from in war and out when making claims per cost.

I edit the Ai so they will use more of their influence budget on claims since they now cost more per claim.

Below are the changes done.

Should be compatible with any mod that doesn't touch these values in the Defines.txt file

The reason for the change to the change to the rival bonus is because in most cases, your attacking your rival plus there is enough tech that will lower the values as well.





CLAIM_COST_STARBASE = 100.0
# Added cost for upgraded starbase org 25.0

CLAIM_COST_COLONY = 200.0
# Added cost for colonized system org 25.0

CLAIM_COST_DISTANCE = 100.0
# Added per hyperlane jump away org 25.0

CLAIM_COST_MULT_OFFENSIVE_WAR = 1.0
# org 1.0 Claims are ( 1 + this ) much more expensive to add for attackers in war

CLAIM_COST_RIVAL_DISCOUNT = -0.01
# org -0.20 Claims are ( 1 + this ) much less expensive against rivals


INFLUENCE_FRACTION_CLAIMS = 0.50
# org 0.20 Fraction of AI influence that is used for claims

INFLUENCE_MAX_CLAIMS = 700
# org 300 Max influence stored for claims
