[quote]I do that too. Question though...I have never had a transport left over after an invasion...even if I only loose a handful of troops the transport is gone. Am I doing something wrong? [/quote] Nope, you always lose a 'sport in an invasion, even if you gain more troops than you had before landing. I think of the 'sport as a rep
I agree with dystopic on this. Canada and even Mexico has a better chance for an NFL team then does the European adventures that the League has tried. Simply for the fact that the boarder areas have always gotten the ablity to see games for free. Ah, reminds me of an influence starbase!
In a tough TA no tech trade game, I had both plagues happen once, practically back to back too. I only had the cure for the killer version a few weeks before the ablity one hit. I believe the drengin must have been researching something huge (or the conquests they were undertaking left them recovering from massive debt) cause they never got either cure. It was funny to see them go from gobbling several Civs up to only having a bit over 500 million on each of their worlds.
Depends... are you building defenses? What tech speed are you on? If your on a fast tech speed there seems to be not much you can do. But if you play the slowest tech speed (at least in a TOUGH game not sure on the higher settings) and get to starbase defenses II a fully defended starbase will obliterate large number of fleets before needing a repair construct. In my games now I only build up starbases to the first level of defence and have constructs near by if I feel
[quote] So this is wrong then or am I just not understanding it... a little of both. that link you provided is a conspiracy theory website - not the most reliable. i think whoever wrote that quote misunderstood the point. that part that says "cannot claim any unlimited validity" really just means there's no way (we can imagine) to experimentally prove that constancy of the speed of light in all situations. basically it's just Einstei
[quote]i think this explanation might be what you're looking for... Stephen Hawking is really the best place to turn, even more so than Einstein. [/quote] So this is wrong then or am I just not understanding it... [quote] However in a book that he revised in 1952, Relativity: the special and general theory [20] on page 76 he makes his important statement - that in General relativity, the law of the constan
[quote] There are several ways of describing the situation that causes escape to be impossible. The difference between these descriptions is how space and time coordinates are drawn on spacetime (the choice of coordinates depends on the choice of observation point and on additional definitions used). One common description, based on the Schwarzschild description of black holes, is to consider the time axis in spacetime to point inwards towards the center of the black hole once the horizon is

from Firebender's post #832 [quote]forumid=346&aid=160212">sorry but the game story has it wrong about Stargate's thread, FTL isn't possible either. Till so far in that thread the only credible piece of resistance offered in the subject was on the topic of light being not totally without mass because it is effected by black holes. (I know I should post it in that thread but there is hardly any activity so...) Light isn't effeced by the gravitational pull of the black hole b
[quote] my bigger point was that the 'cultural hypochondira' in the home is a result of extensive advertising, which is occuring so that comapnies who make saftey products can make that much more money. serious communicable diseases are one thing, but the neurotic drive to kill off every microorganism in the home, whether it's a threat or not, is a little much. we're santizing our environment to such a point that our immune systems don't work as well as they should.

[quote] Btw, no one may militarize space. International law. International law is a paper tiger. The U.S. and other governments have looked into weapons based on Satelites, even if some or all of them dont have them. A pox on international law. Looked into. When they actually do it. Tell us.

[quote] Hey, American debt is what, $50 trillion? We're still operational (more or less). Perhaps the debt cap should be 50,000 bc? 9 trillion actually, which isn't much beyond what GalCiv allows (500 bc is 500 billion credits, or 5 trillion credits). [/quote] mm thats only 1/2 a trillion. 1 trillion = 1000 billion =
[quote] Because budgets aren't infinite. Having made many multiplayer games over the years, I'm very aware of the costs of making multiplayer games. Therefore, I didn't want us to spend the time and resources (money) into a feature I know for a fact that a tiny % of users would use. I wanted to focus our development resources on the single player experience. Which we did. The sales and reviews of GalCiv II seem to justify our decision. Now, as I've said,
[quote]Now would good drengin use pain amplifiers??? [/quote] The part of the brain that controls pain is also the pleasure area( at in animals on earth). So I d say yes cause they prolly just change the effect to an pleasurable one.
[quote] but yeah, i wasn't trying to preach environmentalism or anything, more just free associating. [/quote] Your not preachy on the enviroment you do listen to other peoples points quite well.
[quote]really, the best thing we could do would be to get off chemical fuels entirely. [/quote] mm at least give us permission to breath and eat!
and here is a bit more to add [quote] Before he worked out the general theory of relativity, Einstein had already deduced that gravity must affect a light wave's frequency and wavelength. Light moving upwards from Earth's surface, for example, shifts to longer wavelength and lower frequency, as gravity saps it of some energy. But the effect is tiny in earth's modest gravity. In 1960 Robert Pound and Glen Rebka of Harvard University finally succeed in testing this crucial predic
[quote] Because light travels through said space. [/quote] ok but if the light goes with the space then its not immune to the effects of gravity. Even if its a secondary effect its still DOING something to the light. from the dictionary [quote] Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1) - Cite This Source - Share This im·mune /ɪˈmyun/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[i-myoon] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA
[quote]Umm...no... Space is distorted by a black holes' immense gravitational grip. Light is affected by that distorted space. [/quote] How is it completely immune to gravity if space distortions effect said light?
[quote]Do photons and electrons have mass? No they don't, sunshine! Now tell me the elementary particle of light. Photons you say? Correct! They don't need to accelerate. There is nothing to pull against. They have no mass and thus they are immune to gravity. Completely. [/quote] light is effected by gravity wells. Its how we found most of the planets, by looking through gravity wells. Also light is sucked into blackholes.
I would say it would be a bit much for the AI's to deal with... we can eyeball it and plan way better. Now if Influence resources were to form around said type star systems it would be a wicked boost to Roleplaying the resources. But then the question would be in the difficulty of programing that. Right now most of the Resources I just think of them as planets that have been thrown out of a solar system, or some other exotic feature that isn t displayed.
Atlas - Gives a 10% attack bonus to all ships in fleet except for the ship carrying it. Fortitude - Increases HP of all ships in fleet except for the ship carrying it. just put two such ships in each fleet I can t wait to test weather or not these parts are considered weapons... Cause if they don t count I would prolly just put them on a non-combat ship and not worry about its firepower. I m seeing my
Do note that paypal doesn't work for preorders. If you want to get some other games on TGN (or don't mind spending more now and saving the extra tokens for later) though, you can buy tokens with paypal then preorder with tokens. Kyro, Just to let you know that when I pre-ordered the new game it did bring up the paypal option... not that I used it but it did have it there.
. One suggestion: With a billion Terrans invading another planet, you would be more likely to have Singhs and Chens fighting than Jenkins and Higgins. Of course, there could be a good reason for all of the original soldiers having Anglo names -- the marine units would have to be organized assuming the group all speak the same language. Anyway, worth mentioning, I think. Except in this world everyone is breeding like rabbits. Anyways if you just
