[quote]Way to not share your drama on the appropriate forum, I'm sure a lot of people on the GameReplays board would have a simple solution for you.When it asks you for your DVD, it means you either cannot connect to Relic Online(open ports), or Relic Online was seeing a shaky server downtime period. If you do not have a DVD, it also opens up a dialog box where you can click "I bought it from Steam, Direct2Drive, etc" so I don't know what this nonsense is about where the Steam version didn't wor

In the Vasari fleet, the Evacuator comes in #2 on my DPS stopwatch timed list vs pirates at lvl 1. I know, I was shocked too, but that is the way it is.

Yeah but CoH: OF shuns those who buy games off Steam and even legitimate customers. A steam d/l of COH which is patched means they can not get into the game because they have no DVD. They can't get online and register because they don't have a DVD. They just wasted money on COH and OF. As a legitimate customer who bought it at a store, I remember these problems of it always asking for a DVD, only the DVD didn't work properly. So I had to switch from my OF DVD to my original COH in o

Reply to Having trouble completing missions. in Strategy Sins Forums

If you play as TEC, then there is this upgrade you can get that improves how much happiness other civs gives you, it also reduces the happiness removed when you fail a mission. Usually you want to complete the first 2 missions of giving resources, this will put them at 60+ percent. Gives you leeway to lose some points. Get a peace treaty and/or cease fire. Then make sure you explore, like 1 explorer per 6 stars, you'll need to know where your enemies are at. Then when you get a mission, do

Thank god one company actually caters to me, a consumer of pc games. Thank you so very much. All that money in spent purchases on games, to finally have one company stand up for me an American who isn't Chinese with their 90% pirate rates. I'm so sick of other Companies blaming me for the Chinese pirating their games. Thank god we have a company who doesn't target a 90% pirating foreign communist regime. By nature Communist believe everything is everyone elses, so why target them at

Yeah what I like to do is create fleet, then some other ship is leader, then shift+tab over and over till I get a Marza then recreate fleet. This'll put them as leader.

Well my Crystal rate is .9 after getting the Asteroid. That means that player B has extra 30 crystal, which translates into 33 seconds ahead. Again, once player B builds his 2nd CSF he is now at a big loss. He losses 100 crystal the first time he builds a CSF and recovers 30 from it, the second time he builds a CSF he is now at -70 Crystal his opponent has. You would be a whole minute behind your opponent in Crystal. That means he can get his ship upgraded to the front line in the same amou

I use all the TEC ships, just emphasize Marzas because "This is how space junk is born" lol and "I got a present for ya" Plus they sorta remind me of Millenium Falcon. Cool looking and fun to play.

Well I can get a 2nd Capital Ship out in 7 minutes game time according to the chart when you quit the game. I had 2 terran planets and 1 asteroid at 19 minutes, had 3rd planet at 26 minutes, and had 9 planets at 56 minutes. I don't build a 2nd capital ship factory. When I build a Capital Ship, I will upgrade them, and then send them into the fight. The journey to the front lines just gave it time to upgrade. The whole notion that losing 700 credits will help you in 10 more

Yeah just ignore that, and well most of that boom order. It was just a copy/paste from Hardcore rush pretty much. I doubt it was tested at all with any seriousness. The 2nd Capital adds a valuable resource, time. The faster you clear and colonize the better. If I know the map very well, I skip scouts in favor of a 2nd Capital and do the Colonizer+Battleship combo. When the Battleship is badly bruised, the Colonizer goes in first to soak up some damage, otherwise the Battleship goes

Beta 3: 1. When I flip a Planet to my side it has several Starports. Not only does the AI have several Starports at the same time, it is using them to upgrade the planet like Terraforming. They will place them on a upgradeable tile without the Ethics or Habitat researched, and will upgrade the planet by placing the Starports anywhere and then upgrading them. I noticed this when I had researched those technologies, all the upgraded or being upgraded Starports to somethin

Gameplay Issues with 1.1 Beta 2A 1. I think the Suicidal AI goes overboard on the expansion. Close to over 100 Colonies within the first year. 2. (Funding and Morale) Player is unable to compete with this level of expansion due to their Maintenance costs which doesn't seem to affect the AI enough. Thus a Player might see 10 Planets the first year while the computer will get over 100. 3. (Abundant Planets) Too many
