Weird....

Ive actually noticed that the mega events were tweaked from the beta(or the update, i cant remember which) Wherein they dont happen as often. Before I was getting the plague event a lot, which i kinda liked because id rush research it(throw all my resources into researching) and once ive got the tech before everyone else, id tech trade like crazy (except maybe the strongest/most evil race). Ive also gotten that darned Jagged Knife event at the very end of a game, right before I won a military vi

Very cool. I want more!?

I'm getting to the point where I'd like to be able to turn the whole alliance mechanic off, honestly. I second that, of which ive posted about numerous times. Although I will say since the release of DA, the alliances have been tweaked more in my favor of how id like them to be. ie; its not everyone allied to everyone else and constant all-out war all the time. kudos. as for o1derfull1's question, im not sure i understand why you cant get close

design an upgrade for your spore ship with shields and a missle. 2-3 turns max.

Oooh yea they do, any improvement built adds to that planets bonuses. Especially the economy and manufacturing lines. And when a new improvement is researched and upgraded that % value increases as well so..stock market is greater than trade center, etc.

Making comparisons that *you think* are valid to try to relieve pressure is childish at best. HA!? CHILDISH is right, but not on Draginols part. how old are you, 5?

Im big on graphics, so all the upgrades the devs did won me over...again. haha. Especially the changes made to the planets; new environments and the orbiting ships. Superb.

I second that, I almost even went through all the hotkeys in the game to figure out which one it is before it started screwing with my computer.

Ok folks you know the drill, pretty obvious thread here.. With all the new features in DA Ive had to revamp my game strategy, specifically the colony rush phase. I know it just barely came out and those that didnt beta test it are probably still figuring out their new strategy, but maybe they can get some hints from here? Basically I wanted to get some input on what everyone else is doing to adapt to the new game. Perhaps Ill steal a few ideas? ::rubs hands mischieviously:: In a nut

Wow dude, lay off..and enjoy the game. Or if it bothers you so much dont play it!? Some people just like to argue for the sake of arguing. So sad.. ::shakes head::

hm, possibly or perhaps its my shitty-ass piece of a dell notebook? haha. :x

it seems a lot slower too..the pace of the game. was that changed or is it just in my settings of the game/hardware?

Wow, I almost fell out of my seat when I read this?! If its true, im beside myself with jealousy that im still at work and cant verify for myself. :x Happy hunting everyone.

Ok, nm ignore that question..i took another look. Its bigger than the mini-map but seems to be less detailed? ::shrugs::

I noticed that new feature too..seems pretty useful. Is that example the actual size that will show onscreen, is it the same size as the mini-map in the corner?

Wow, talk about evil... Im eager to see Kryo's score to see the effects of such a strategy?

ah, sorry for the repeat question then kryo. :x thanks for the info though.

Ok, so I know Ive been posting a lot of newbie metaverse questions lately..but im only trying to figure this thing out. Also, Ive seen a couple of posts about this topic, however it seems like its being completely ignored by anyone who might have an answer. Question: Ive posted a game and everything comes up on my profile and character as it should except for the ranking. It was like 3 days ago and Im still 'unranked'. I like to think(?) that I received a fairly decent score for my firs

Really a great read..ive been following it all week. Inspiring infact, if I had the time Id try my hand at an AAR too!

Thanks Ras, i thought it was strange too..little did i know all i had to do was view your medals to see almost half of them!? lol. I assume not all are # Game Winner medals. I just wanted to know what the other obscure ones were like the racial victory. oh well, seems like no one really knows? ::shrugs::

if 10 is the limit on the planet screen, then yes its the same. it only shows whats really there. i love this feature though, nothing like designing/building a new ship and then zooming all the way into see it orbiting one of your planets to scale. (well, more to scale than they are in space)

Im there with ya...its frustrating. But mystik is right, there's a host of different external influences at any given time acting on your freighters. One he didnt mention was if a particular freighter passes through the influence of one of you economic starbases; itll go up. Or maybe that civ youre trading with has made some bad choices on their end and the value is being effected that way. As well as all those other things he listed..you build a new ship; your military spending goes up to c

As someone who's played through the betas, whats highlighted here is pretty much spot on..theres a few minor things that either A)I didnt know was in there or B)Have been added since the end of the betas. Either way it all looks amazing and Im counting the days! PS..any word on the so called early dl for those beta players and those that preordered?

Hahaha..Bribes?! I literally almost laughed out-loud..which is bad, because im at work. :x Good one Kryo.
