@Wargazmo Yeah I remember Twinsen's adventure, I've got a copy of it in fact. Haven't been able to get it to run under XP But I also seem to recall something, Twinsen's Odyssey. Is that a different game or am I just misremebering? @Thervold I had the same experience with Betrayal at Krondor, those books were pretty good, but once I got really far into it (like the 8th I'd read of his)
Oh thats right, somehow I forgot about X-COM, a great great game.
In no particular order: Best: Master of Orion II - just liked it more than the original, however I think this may be replaced by GC2 Master of Magic - totally awesome game, unfortunatly the AI was kind of crap and the diplomacy was total chaos. Quest for Glory series - sorry had to put the whole series. An old Sierra product, a combination between King's Quest style adventure play and a good character based RPG, (If anyone likes RPGs and has not played these, I highly r
For the first I think its 6^3 combinations..not sure been a while since I did any of that kind of thing. For the next sorry, I don't remember, I'd look it up in one of my math books, but I don't want to wake up my girlfriend.
Am I just imagining this or in earlier versions were you able to put multiple construction modules on a ship. I'm pretty sure that used to be an option, I miss that. Or am I just making stuff up. It would be convenient to be able to do that so that you could quickly set up a military star base when at war using cargo hulls with sensors (for scouting) and multiple construction modules. Be pretty scary to see the AI do as well.
I can't wait for news on the game. MoM is probably my favorite game of all time. In fact I'd probably be playing it right now instead of DA, if it weren't for its horrible AI and diplomacy. Where can we get news about this game, I mean where will the news be announced? Sorry if I sound like a fanatic, I just want to be there as soon as anything becomes known.
Another thing to consider is (at least in DA, don't know about GC) the PQ bug is acting up again, this really screws up your economy. They're working on fixing it though.
Yeah...I guess it should, tried to change it, didn't work.
So Supreme Commander just came out. Has anyone played it, if so how is it. I doubt my machine could run it but I'm interested in hearing about it. I've been pretty dissappointed with RTS in general after Starcraft. It seems it just boils down to selecting all your units to target the most powerfull enemy unit, just really tedious and boring to me. I did enjoy the Warhammer 40k RTS though. Anyway, can anyone tell a short summary/review of Supreme Commander?
I'd really like to see the UP get updated as you mention, just being able to select how often it meets would be nice. What I really would like are things like this - one another race has been met you both are in the UP, but lets say you then meet another race, you should vote immediatly to allow them to enter the UP or deny them membership. (This might not work very well as if you met two evil races in the beginning but you were good you would be at a big disadvantage). I would like if all the c
The one I really enjoy is the 25% bonus to your current research, I usually can get one or two when researching planetary improvements and that really gives me a jump start early in the game.
I seem to be recovering now. And I have a powerfull enemy to fight (Altarians) after I thought I had the game all wrapped up, so thats pretty cool. I just don't like that they're called "pirates", I guess that's my real problem with it, that's kind of silly, they just aren't piraty to me.
They are moving 6 a turn now instead of 4, so I guess my want for them to be faster is taken care of. Oh. and they "killed" three races who were in wars with other AI, all surrendered to the Altarians.
Now they're all moving 6 moves per turn instead of 4, is that normal? Edit- oopse sorry wrong thread.
It is much to powerful. The devs need to deal with that. Absolutely, unequivocably not. I like them as they are, they provide a challenge at times that are ot
The trick is to not think of them as pirates. Think of them as an invading unknown race who just happen to be called a name that sounds like the word 'pirate'. That is too funny
Yeah, I'm going to have to do something like that, but it seem that now that I no longer have a military the bulk of their fleets are moving to other sectors.
I'm playing challenging level game on a large galaxy, in the process of wiping out the Terrans who had the nerve to declare war on me because I'm evil. All of a sudden I get the Pirates! mega-event. I have the largest and most powerfull fleets with 10 beam 5 armor, or 20 beam 0 defense, or some mix in between depending on composition. I have the most technologically advanced and deadly fleets. The Pirates spawn with fleets like this: 18 logistics (I have 15) 120 gun and 13 armor. What is up with
@dystopic Hmm... I'll have to try that.
Its overall a good expansion, lots of fun and I'm pleased I purchased it, but as other will tell you tell you there are some issues that need to be adressed. My biggest peeves are the PQ bug (planets PQ won't increase when you terraform it thus limiting max pop) and the fact that they still haven't made any major improvements to the UP, and defense is kind of screwed. I'm sure that first issue will be adressed soon, not sure about the second. I love the new super abilities, ability to crea
Will do.
It sounds like you added the extra points in the xml to the ABILITY tag, for example ECONOMICS>0 ABILITY>0 extra points should be added to the ECONOMICS field (in this example) rather than ability, that way its as if they have a natural bonus, like the built in races, the ABILITY field represents points added with the customization points.By putting bonuses in the ABILITY field you're giving them more point picks than are allowed, which
You probably have a scenario set (such as classic galaxy). Check on the galaxy setup screen just under the size menu should be the scenario menu, set it to normal.
Try cedega or wine for linux(Could run your wife's programs too). Cedega claims it can run all the newest games and what not. But don't get rid of your windows partion yet, linux can be fiesty. I've gotten a few games to run under wine, but it can be a hassle. Personally I love linux, but I have to have a windows machine for gaming, its just easier. Just remeber, "Linux is only free if your time is worthless" <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Smile.gif" border=0 align="absmidd
If you only have the first tech your production is halved, you need the advanced version to use the planet to its full potential.
