Having trouble getting this to work.. how do you go about building an all fac civ in ToA, what is the best tech tree to use for this?

Im running the latest version of ToA, and there are a Lot of "improvements" made to the AI and the game in general. The biggest difference between DL and DA and ToA is the introduction of unique race tech trees in ToA. They are a lot of fun, and allow you to play a lot of different ways and introduce a lot of variety to the game. HOWEVER, the AI still does NOT A) Build planets correctly or effeciently; and B) Protect transports and make coordinated, well e

Hmm I seem to recall the original DL game to allow this, it seems like a feature that should definately be looked into. If my ships are sitting on top of a starbase that has battle stations, the starbase's attack/defense should be added to the fleet if the fleet has logistical space for it.

Apparently in a fit of intergalactic madness, the Torians have decided to declare war on my friends the Arceans, who immediately called me asking for assistence. Now, this was not a standard war declaration, it was a scripted event which if youve played this game before you've seen many times. All kinds of things can happen from a sudden increase in all civs birthrate or influence, to small things like discovering newly inhabitable planets on the map. I ha

heres the start screen, hopefully this works..

I now had an alliance with the Arceans and Altarians, while everyone else in the galaxy was warm friendly or close including my loyal dogs the Drengin whom I had good r

Ok so I have a Diplomatic Vic all lined up. My Economy is booming, Im finaly(!) spanking the Drengins and, in one fell swoop of backstabbing glory Ive taken about 6-7 of their planets in about 2-3 turns of blissful bliztkreig. Im playing as Terran, its not my first ToA game but up until this point I'd played a few Maso@Medium no tech trade custom games. I wanted to explore the new, and familliar, game mechanics and economic systems. One thing I must say before I get to

Where are my screens saved Im trying to upload them for a future post..

It seems military starbases should be able to join your fleets to defend your starbase but I cannot. Am I missing a tech?

Im currently playing the most recent version of DA and have put 1 pt into creativity as I have heard it gives a chance to randomly complete techs you are researching. Does that work in DA or only in ToA?

I did the update to DLv.15 and the ga

OK I'm running DL v1.0 and before you get all worked up about updating the game, I tried it using impulse twice, both times the game wouldnt run anymore. So now im stuck with a game that has all kinds of problems saving/loading. Here is my most recent debug log. Debug Message: Version v1.0 last updated on: Mon Feb 6 12:52:05 2006 Debug Message: Could not find a TGN Serial No. Debug Message: *********DXDiag info follows.*****

I just updated via Impulse to Dread Lords v1.5, now the game crashes anytime I try to start a new game or load an old game.

I was playing on the stock release v1.0 and had some crashes along the way so I decided to update the game. Now anytime i try to load an old game, or start a new game the game crashes before i get into the in game screen. WTF!??

[quote who="dystopic" reply="1" id="1851586"]not sure where "down there" is, but you can find game examples in the AAR section. some (many) are fictionalized; look for less crative titles if you just want examples of strategy.[/quote] to clarify my point.. in the Database section there is a link for "Game Examples" which looks like exactly what i want to look at. As far as the AAR section goes.. every link I've tried is complete fiction and not really anything to do with the mec

Is the link down or is there just nothing there? Id really like to read some game reports to get a feel for how people are going about this game.. Whats up with this?

please please add a multiple select function on the civilization manager screen. i hate having to go to each planet to change its focus and the top priority of the building queue....

tired of having to access every planet to change focuses, or to set a higher priority on the building queue? on a smaller map its not too bad, but on my huge map its really getting ugly.... this is why i would love to see a way to mass edit planet building and focus from the civilization management screen. select multiple planets and have a window similar to the build ship window pop up that allows you to change the building focus and the top priori

i am running into the same problems...the enemy "territory" is always solid, while my territorys are always splotchy and spread thin. this isnt late in the game either, this is in the very early stages against intelligent ai, where if they colonize anywhere near my planets, my influence is immediately pushed back. i dont get it, they just colonized the fricken 6 worth planet and my 12 is sucking against their influence...what is the deal with that?</

hey guys i too am experiencing constant crashes in game- but strangely in the same place in games. for expample today everytime my scout revealed a certain planet the game crashed. its happening again now but i do not know why. to give a more detailed report i need to know how to access the debug.err file or any other files needed to help me resolve this issue. i have all the latest drivers etc and correct moniter settings....so thats all im left

hey guys i too am experiencing constant crashes in game, but i do not know how to obtain for you the debug.err file. i have all the latest drivers etc and correct moniter settings....so thats all im left with i think. please let me know where to find this file so i can maybe get this damn game working. thanks

i have all the latest drivers for my system yet this game still crashes frequently on me, and often at one particualr point in the game. For example, today every time i sent my scout to a certain region of the map, the game crashed. I had to purposely not explore a certain star system in order to continue with my game. now i am encountering the same problem with researching armor theory. i would like to get help with this, as i am a huge fan of thi
