I personally don't see any point playing on any difficulty above cakewalk. the bonus points you get as you increase difficulty is not enough compared to the increased difficulty. Its like on Freespace 2, the points you get per kill and mission is based on your difficulty level, but i have learnt that the bonus points you get in insufficient compared to the difficulty increased. So i see no point in playing on higher dif
Well, i think they need to set it to auto upgrade all designs. Like on Master of Orion 2, you just click on the design, then the game automatically applies the latest equipment (engines, shields, armour, sensors, fuel cells etc.), but weapons and other stuff need to be applied by you. Even more better is to have 'Clear All' Button to clear all stuff from the design.
I am getting the CTD in the shipyard too. I get to the description bit, but when i save on there, it just comes up with a Fatal Exception (send error report) and after all that, it goes to the desktop. VERY ANNOYING!!! I have: AMD AthlonXP 2600+ 1024MB DDR PC2700 Nvidia Geforce 6800GT 128MB AGP It has crashed other places too, i think it is my machine, since other games have crashed too.<
Well, the Stellar Cartography tech allows you to see planets, but it doesn't tell you if they are habitable or what quality they are. I have noticed that the AI don't have a range limit, because when i was the Iconians, i was out of range of these planets (3 20+ Quality) i was out of range and i checked the other races, i was superior in range and yet i couldn't reach those planets, but the AI could and i was alot closer to them then the AI was. I think a good feature to pu
Leave them as it is, it would give you 'I LOVE BEING CHALLENGED' players something to do and let us crap players use them to win, its not like its a MP game. lol If it was a MP game, then go ahead and balance, but its a SP game so leave it as it is. Well, i tried the Yor with the default abilities, i have no idea where you got your 'overpowered' idea from, they are not over-powered at all. Hell, i even cheated with the money and the AI still out-produced me.
hmmmm, so they should need it too, so if they don't get it so they should be able to talk to one another....until they research it.
Well, i was at war with the Yor, i was accually winning and they got a Ranger ship and well, i was not that advanced to beat it and my vast 50+ ships were wiped out by that one ship and i know that in reality 50+ ships would slaughter 1 ship no matter the superior technology, but its a game after all. So i know, if an AI gets a Ranger ship, i either ally with them or restart the game..
you also have Ctrl-Shift+R to get all tech except for Tech Victory, if you plan to just commit genocide, i would turn research funding off when you use this code.
Well, that means it isn't balanced, which makes it unfair.....there is something that needs tweaking. If the AI don't need it, we shouldn't need it.
If he/she wants to cheat let him/her.....i don't think they work for metaverse games, i play normally on Metaverse and i cheat on normal games, its fun. I never feel any of the 'satisfaction' when completing a game without cheating, i feel the same regardless if i cheated or played fairly.
I get this too, it isn't so bad when you have like 2-4 planets, but when your empire spans like half of a gigantic map, it gets REALLY annoying.
It works fine for me, i get some crashes and its probably my computer somewhere. I Have: AMD AthlonXP 2600+ 1024MB DDR PC2700 Nvidia Geforce 6800GT 128MB (using the latest drivers) I am surprised how well, my computer can run, i can play F.E.A.R on high and it runs pretty smoothly, so i suspect i can run the New elder scrolls came just as well, depending how well its coded. Anyway, this game runs gr
Well, i tend to go the trade/neutral/cultural route, which means the only fighting i need to do is against pirates to protect the tradelanes. If you can stay neutral, the AI will not attack you unless you piss them off and if you are pocketing them with profits, they will be giving you like 1000bc ever few turns. lol But never enter into an alliance with anyone, i had an alliance with all races except the Yor and of course they ha
Well, the AI seems to expand VERY rapidly, so i wonder how they survive this rapid expansion.
Well, i don't think the game is broken, but i don't think the AI follow the same rules because when i first start 'Planetary Invasion takes like 20+ turns to research and the AI have it in less then 10 turns....so i think they have an accelerated research.
well, it all depends, some games, the AI gets WAY ahead very quickly, almost unrealistically quickly and some games, they are so slow its boring.
Hiya Guys & Gals, I have noticed that the AI gets alot more research done then i do and i do no know how. Even if i edit the files to get like 500+ research bonus, the AI has more tech then me.......perhaps the AI just decides out of technology it can do, to just have, which is unfair. I played a Beginner game and i won a Cultural Victory, but i tried Normal and i got flattened in like 10-15 turns, the AI had settled 75
I have yet to see a single game where all the AI joined together to fight the player, its only happend if its been scripted.
Yep, they need to be close or more to get an Alliance, even though i find them useless, since they tend to declare war on someone once every several turns. :/
not really fair is it? Good AIs don't need to cheat to be challenging.
Well, i think the Wonders shouldn't take up a tile at all...perhaps while they are building, they take up a tile and when they are finished, its vanishes as if you never built it, but you keep the effects.
Well, if they can take your money on the Weekend, they can email you the link on the weekend too.
Well, i find it silly to start in the UP, when since a warlike race like the Drengin that thinks that ALL races should be enslaved or wiped out be on the council? lol They need to remove the Council.
Well, Good civs always come to the aid of the victim. If the British invaded Russia (which is like committing suicide, but ok) i doubt the Americans would help at all, it doesn't benefit them, anyway, the AI is overly aggressive, but once they have 0-45% chance of winning they are all peaceful and ass-kissing type of AI, but once its 46-100% chance of winning, they are all over me like the Borg are to the Federation in Star Trek. I ain't saying they should just sit there a
Well, i just don't understand why the good ethic races (Altarians) tend to be dictators.
