As the number of bases controlled by a faction increases, it can require additional drones to provide administration. The number of bases that can be supported without additional drones is the base limit and depends on the difficulty level, the map size and a factions efficiency rating. The only way, during a game, to affect the limit is to change a faction’s efficiency rating.
Once this limit has been reached, popup messages warn when attempting to construct additional bases but not when capturing or buying an additional bases from other factions. No message is received if a decrease in a faction’s efficiency rating causes the base limit to be exceeded.
For each base in excess of the limit, a faction receives one additional drone. These drones are distributed uniformly amongst the bases.
BaseLimit = (8 - Difficulty) × (4 + Efficiency) × MapRoot ÷ 2
Where:
| Difficulty | = (librarian = 0 to transcend = 5) |
| Efficiency | = faction’s efficiency rating (negative ratings are treated as 0) |
| MapRoot | = √ (map width × map height) ÷ √ 3200 |
MapRoots for common map sizes:
| Tiny | 0.6 |
| Small | 0.8 |
| Standard | 1 |
| Large | 1.1 |
| Huge | 1.6 |
Examples for a faction with a 0 efficiency rating:
| Standard | Huge | |
| Librarian | 10 | 16 |
| Transcend | 6 | 9 |
