My Titanic Lifeform and his two friends

[Strager]

So I see now that Titanic Lifeforms are limited to three army units in Banks. What if we get multiple planets with the modifier? Is there any way to increase the number of lifeforms I can recruit? Techs? Civics? Are there any other "special" recruitable troops like this?

 

[Dreagon]

They are already limited. I assume there is a limit of three per planet.

Titanic Armies are nothing new.
What is also not new, is a static limit of 3 recruitments.

# Titanic life troops
# Can build on planets with titanic life if you get event + special project there
# Should be very strong and quite expensive, but cannot get attachments and can be built only in limited numbers

However, the whole mechanic behind tracking how many "Artist Monuments" you have bought and are in use could be adapted to track a countrywide Titanic Army count too.

It's too complex for a script to subtract 3 from a variable when you complete a project? Are all variables local or something?

No. It is to complex to share the number across multiple scripts, so one can increase them.
If any piece of information has to be shared across more then one script, it always had to be done via country or galaxy flags.

Without those, the Unbidden would not know where thier Portal was parked.

The Enclaves do lessen that a lot. They now can track how often a repeatable option was picked (like the Monument). And have a counter for used up monuments.
They literally have written that they want to do it better but can not for technical reasons. If they do that, asume they literally CAN NOT do it.
