(3.184) Neinzul spawner home guard post without CoN

[Lancefighter]

I have a sneaking suspicion that this home guard post is slightly out of place... Something about it seems off. Might be the fact that it promises to spawn younglings of some sort, or maybe that it has currently accrued over 700k of build points.. (about 4h into game)

I dunno, but something here seems odd.

Chris intended the Neinzul post (and the various Zenith posts) to be base-game.

And the mechanic used for that structure to produce its own stuff just keeps counting up build-point wise; it won't actually get to turn all of those into ships if it has passed its max-ships * points-per-ship.

But I did go ahead and change the abstracted-auto-factory logic so it doesn't store more build points than it can actually use.  Theoretically someone could play a _really_ long game and it would overflow or something.

Let me just say one thing; be prepared for the worst. That particular guard post is nasty!! (I know, having just finished one off, and I was quite supprised at what it did.)

Yeah, there was already the Zenith starship in the base game, but I've been wanting to include more Zenith and now Neinzul stuff in the base game so that isn't JUST from their respective expansions that you see that.  Plus the mysterious Spire aliens have only had a single starship until now, but now they have a couple of guard posts for themselves, so they're making their presence a little more known...

Oooooo. Do I smell a possible expansion race?

You betcha!

oh.. thats most interesting.. I dont seem to recall any zenith posts though, maybe i wasnt looking for them?

I thought 'spire' starship was more a description than some alien race, but I wont be arguing with future expansion material

The zenith ones are on the homeworlds only that I recall, and they wouldn't be in every game.  But, cool stuff.

Which reminds me: do Acid Sprayers get a bonus against them?
