Yes am playing TA. The Dreadlords are like party favors. Iwonder if they will come back? Yeah it was an un armed scout. Duh
Duh
Ablity to caputure alien ships and with troop modules and reverse engineer them. kill the auto select. love the turn based. time line should be in months not weeks for a turn. Duh
http://www.flickr.com/photos/31751124@N03/3223164172/sizes/o/ Could not get it to link for the pic. Playing a fun little battle of the gods on immense on painful. Everyone is squabbling and I am still colonizing planets. Yor just captured a planet and I took it back. Dreadlords pop up rignt in the path of my expansion. I can see it now. The clonee of Theodor Ro
Stacking starbases are good espically in the long run. Add tight clusters and a mfg cap and a research cap in the area of effect its awe inspring. I had one game when in one 10x10 square I had 4 systems chocked full of planety goodness. I built 5 econ starbases in that sector with my tech and mfg cap having 120% bonus. Then to guild the lily I moved my tradeing planet there so at the beginning and end of the trade route the freighters got 300% bonus. Nothing exce
Am playing a game in Immense and have 25% of the galaxy and the Korath (owns 25%) and the Yor (20%) and the Torians (10%) are still around. Beat the Korath into submission and took two planets away from the Yor and they decided they dont want non of that so were at peace now. Built eyes of the universe, have all miniturazations and sensor array. I decide to build a spy sat (no enginees, 1 gun, 2 hardend hull points and 51 parsecs worth of sensor range with sensor arrays the
Thanks, well it was user error not you guys. Anyway spent the weekend taking over a 1/4 of an immese galaxy man is it a diff game now. used to crash every hour. good work. Duh
sure Kryo. I see now you carry the stardock logo now too. kewl. Anyway. it says my email and serial number dont match. I had to buy the gold twice so there are two diff serials I use. Duh
My system blew 7 capactors on the mother board then the replacement system croaked now on a laptop and it WILL NOT allow me to down load the dark avatar patch. Can someone please tell me where and how I can get the patch? Duh
Well, I fell in love with the Super Isolationist. I couple it with +30 social and +20 Military +10 PQ and +10 Econ and Luck. Mid game it works real well. Duh
I just had a pirate mega event in an immense painful battle of the Gods. I sucked to be me for a while. But I noticed something. If you can make troop ship that have two things you can get alot of new territory. The new ships must be way faster and have a huge (eyes of the universe huge) sensor range its a nice oppertunity.I got about three systems before I killed all the pirates in my space. wonder how I would of done if I had a terror star hanging about sorta like swatting flys with Therm
Holy crap! what diffculty were you playing on. Mine I am lucky if I have one or two special tiles. Duh
Well I use the description area to further describe the ship now with the advent of TA. Usally now I add to my light fighters descriptions of my X wife. light fighters remeber these fighters are expendible attrition units for a quick attack later in game when I have a good industrial base I switch to heavy fighters with defenses. (MILF)Harpy - 2 eng, Mass Attack (MILF) Vampire - 2 eng, Missle Attack (MILF) Medusa - 2 eng, Beam Attack each generatio
Well I dont know about it playing with Tech trading off. I dont know what race has the weather controller but I will trade dang near anthing for the 3 more tiles it gives you on any planet you build it on. Then again I prefer to guild the lily when developing my plants. Duh
Heh, got one start with a home world with a 3x research, 2x Industry, Econ resource in system. Next system over a size 31pq and a 14pq and a 4 planet. the size 31 had a 7x industry tile. and the first one I colonized. short game. Duh
Yah, gots to research up the appropiate defense. Save those ship production points build a Starfleet battles or David Weber Monitor type ship (huge) load extremely silly amount of the approriate defense and go hunting. Or make your fleet like the elves fast and unarmored run rings around them and go nerf someone elses empire where they have killed there fleet. Or if you have them use terror stars. its too bad that they dont let us do a terror star design. Duh
I do use military star bases. (note I only play in gigantic or better). First using a spy I identify the best cluster of systems the bad guy has. secondly I make up 2 to three combat fleets and two to three constructor fleets and two fleets of transports 2000 + each ship. One fleet is all heavys Medium hulls or better and one of Heavy fighter and medium hulls. The third combat fleet would be the same as the second. First action is to take out all starbases that the
dystopic, yeah it was a duh moment... click... bed sleep now!... Oh shit lol. Duh
Started a new game using my American Triumverate race. I got the perfect home plant. one 3x Mine, one 2x Mine, two 3x libaries and one 2x happy fairy morale place. During the colony rush I damn near fell below 4 billion people on my homeworld. I was leading in research at the end of the colony rush and had started flipping those annoying krynn worlds that the colonized in my space (rude little buggers). just finished the rush and well note what I did. I powered off my co
What I would like to see is a little more thought out ship upgrade paths. If you stay with a techonology say phasors I think should should be able to say upgrade your ship at a military starbase or a planet with a starport to the next generation of phasors by having the planet work on it instead of the buy it. upgrading from say plasma II to antimatter torp should be very very expensive if nigh impossible. the magazine for the missles the feeding mechinism you get my point.<br
Sigh, It sounds like the vast majority of ya'll are quiet young. You know all systems created by humans are not perfect because we are not perfect. This is not a rant against change. But those that change things to fix an immediate problem tend to cause problems down the line. Look at our electoral congress, does the popular vote have anything to do with it... not much. There are other. As for drug addiction and pushers and addicts. Well I know of one "happy" place that actually
Love designing my ships. Spend the most time on designing planetary assualt ships. Its a one shot ship. Probably breaks apart in the atmosphere throwing out lots of junk and chaff to nerf ground fire. Probably one of the more complicated ships with all the ground attack shuttles. Yeah, "weapons in the front, engines in the back thats how we like to attack"... I wonder if there is a song in there. Duh
Tiny fighters. Fast tiny fighters. Eyes of the Universe and Isolationist you can make the Korath evil monkey squeal like a little girl. Sure send your spore ships. Once I run your econ into the ground from you over producing spore ships and taking my time to build up three anti korath fleets and about25 to 30 troop ships sure. The Jagged knife suck bad. Try to keep at least one troop transport at every planet. I know its not an option it mid or late game but ir takes the sting ou
Heh, I love having Heavy fighters with 25 hit points. Usally get one or two a game from trans and spore poping. The best spore defense is sorta like how the Brits did there night patrols. Ever fight responsible for its box (the width is twice its move in one turn) have about three deep and the Acean transport swamp of Korath spore swamp holds no fear. Duh
Deep Space 9? Wimpy station. I always have the Iron Bitch. Read the Armagedon Inheratance from David Weber.
love my custom races. There easier to play for me. Love the Isolationist. The pick is sorta worthless at the beginning of the game but latter on its a good Strategic defense. Usallaly put my bonuses in Production (both), Pop growth and 3 pts in PQ. Nothing makes me happier then running across a Plus 40 somthing worm bonus. "um boss we got telepathic worms." "what do they do" "build tubes, eat and mate" "I mean for us!" "um nothing but the intergal
