are fallen empires supposed to have 450k ground army at the start of the game?

I think ACOT combined with ZOFE and Gigas makes them quite strong, but I don't know the exact details

I encountered a bug where im not able to research physics anymore it just says no progress and then after few years it started to work again weird. EDIT: If you cheat technology or get super ahead of your research can drop to 0 but something prevents it from correctly doing it so somtimes just for people to know

@laaven; I haven't seen this bug, but it was nice that it disappeared again after a while.

If you have -100000% research you will encounter it XD

haha, how did you manage to get that?

I had some trouble with the Great Khan and Deadly Tempest mods, where even though I set the fleet power to "Normal" in the Crisis Manager window, it would revert back to "Doomsday" difficulty again and again, spawning very strong OP fleets. Therefore, I have removed both Great Khan and Deadly Tempest in my latest load order:

I personally dont like great khan mod it just feels like boring mid game event, ai just streamrolled them lol.

You should add a thread for recommended mod config.

I put recommended mod config on the main description page

If you have an old save game, the Sartrek Ascenscion Merger updated, and then all vanilla ascenscion perks disappeared, but if you open console and type the following, it will re-appear ingame: event sartekmerger.02

I am seeing some bugs where L-gate quest is bugged; I am asuming it must be an incompatibility between Aggressive Crisis Engine and the Crisis Managers, so I will update the mod list and remove ACE, I think. Also, the ACOT quest for Dark Matter seemed bugged, so I might take away ACOT as well, since the Gigastructural tech chains fill the late-game anyhow.

Hi there, not sure if it's because this isn't optimized for 3.5 but it's crashing on start up for that version.
