  1. ↑ Tran: "uhhhhhh kk so the nature of doing tech, ai and balance work is you've done an extremely long list of individually smaller things so I tried to omit some stuff? this is as far as I can remember off the dome, anyway
    -Made Robot City with Violet (was majority hers but I made parts of it)
    -Helped a little bit with Timekeepers semi-unique tree
    -Helped make the Shared Vault Tree
    -Helped tweak/slightly rework Petro Chico and Vault 37 right around release for Octaman
    -Made the gamerules and custom AI scripting for NCR, Vault City, New Reno, Eureka, Arroyo, Shi, Montana Chapter, Rotpurgers... I feel like I'm missing one lol but thats what I can remember for those
    -Helped adjust MacArthur, Strathcommune and Big Grass for release and did some tweaks
    -Helped finish the vehicle and robot tech trees for release
    -Did all the major tech changes and most of the broader balance patches since 4.0. Includes all the changes post 4.0 to Vehicles, Robots, Air, Infantry, Support Companies Doctrines, a bunch of stuff people don't care about. Whatever was from 4.0.3 onwards for tech balance was probably me, im the one who made all those changelogs at the top of those patches for tech things
    -I run testing now. Did it for 4.1.
    -Adjusted or completely revamped the effects of a lot of trees post 4.0, not a rework since I didn't change skeletons but just effects themselves. This was for all of NCR, all of Reno, some of Vault City, all of Heaven's Gate, all of Santa Anna, all of Shi, all of Three Rivers.
    -Helped tweak the balance of a lot of trees both pre release on behalf of devs and post release. Not worth listing.
    -A lot of AI work. Not sure how to quantify for people who aren't familiar with it but I adjusted the research and production a lot in particular as well as other priorities like construction and PP spending
    -Helped StealthArcher make proper weather patterns for all of the map
    -Lot of Caps and Organizations balancing and QOL. Also made the new caps decisions and update all of the existing ones.
    -Made the new generic decisions and updated all of the existing ones.
    -Made the new generic advisors for Settler/Raider/Tribal and adjusted all of the existing ones.
    -Lot of bugfixing all over the place if that matters
    -Helped with some formables here and there

    Have worked on or am currently working on some unreleased stuff
    -Making Crazy Horns tree
    -Making parts of Khans alongside other ppl
    -Scripting Dramatae, was primarily designed off the code by rhacius with my help
    -Helping script Reservation, same as the above but both CGS and Rhacius. CGS did part of scripting
    -Legion of Hades integration     eventually will be done with help of Sayruz. It's at least started
    -Designed new Kimball branch Sayruz posted in fev teasers and working on one for Allgood atm-Other things I can't tease"

  3. ↑ Tran on Reddit: "I actually did give one or two of the generic advisors an operative slot as I gave them a pass this update. I believe one of them was the settler spymaster, and a lot of non-generic nations use that trait, so steps in the right direction!"
  4. ↑ Tran on Reddit: "Hey! Dev here. Couple things:

    I tested the glider changes and both pre and post patch have noticed AI countries producing planes correctly. Could you let me know any more information about which nations you saw it on and when? That would be really helpful so I can troubleshoot this

    I have made a new, proper gamerule and some pretty detailed AI strategy for New Reno that will release in the next patch, so that should be taken care of

    The energy weapon research is something I have noticed and have been troubleshooting alongside the broad changes and improvements I made to AI research behavior. I will continue working on AI research in the future and hopefully make that change. Fortunately it's not a huge deal though"
