I upgrade defender's every time. There my last line of defence on my good industrial planets seeing as they normaly dont have that high population. A good defender class ship can make or break a defensive battle, using the standard type is just stupid, No offence! Fate,
Wow Dregin im seriously impresed, you made all of that off a cargo hull.... wow... that is somthing special *downloads*
thats pritty sweet Dregin, I'm going to try them out Fate,
Hey Admins, how bout a Poll on the website... Just to see how MP expansion would stack againts a Hero expansion with some additional hero features. Just out of curiousity, who knows.. maybe it'll be suprising. Im with you there Achillus, Kryo your in the best position to organise admins to make it the weekly poll, any way it can hapen as say
hahaha i remember that story byram! I've got one aswell once, it was nowere near as dramatic as that though, they just had Jupiter after it became habital (this was on a giant map) and it was so seperated from the rest of them that they didnt even bother puting up cultural stuff, it was mine in i think 6 weeks or so, but thats only because it had micro amounts of population. So to answer your question Vermicious, Yes it is posible... just not normal easy! Fate,
Look Kryo Summed it up. The game doesnt need a hotseat mode, its perfect the way it is, ok! Anough of the multiplayer people asking for it please, its driving me insain!!!
Indeed, more variaty, and certainly some barriers (maybe some that are constructed ) would be fun. Not a real high priority for me, though. how can you construct a barrier in space!?!?!?! sorry, that just doesnt make much sense to me as space is masive... and if you built a fence, wouldnt it just make more sense for the invaiders to just go over
I hate building a Galactic Achivement then find that there was a better place to put it 10 turns latter, its so anouying! Having a visule effect for Prisons and Olympics would be pritty cool, thats a great idea mate. Fate,
BTW, which AI is colonizing fast? Every AI or some particular AIs? Arceans and Altirians seem to be the fastest collinizers on my games, do they have a common AI derivative? Fate,
So Lord Mekos your talking of having a sort of 'recourse' that gives you power that you mine, sey out of astroid belts? Hey brainwave! We get astroid belts in DA so that could work, but it would make it abit like a normal RTS were you have to get resorces to build stuff, instead of just money. I'm still in favor of just having power plant's as otherwise were twisting the gameplay to much and still adding yet more micromanagment to the game. <table cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center
woot, theres 3 known aussie's on here, I'm not the only one of my kind that loves the game!
I like the power plant ideas in the ship, but the fuel idea would make the game realy logisticaly complex, limiting the number of ships you can build and maintain. It brings up some problems (Interesting how they would effect game play!.)If say your main fuel planet gets vaped by the enemy for whatever reason would the ships supported by it be able to continue or would they just become dead in space? Like i said the whole fuel idea, while good, IMO would make the game require too much m

Finding ship's is really great. It's even better when there tech's are only up to the midranged hull sizes. Here's the story right, I was playing a bunch of normal guys and the korx and yor were completly gone, and they kept finding Precursor Corvette's n stuff and I was getting anouyed that I never got anything, then next turn I randomly found a Ranger... it was pritty sweet! there kinda KICK ASS!!! Fate,
Epsilon Exists, so you can pritty much do that now Pali
I did... On a Normal Dificulty Medium sized map in 1.31 I just got them all to like me somehow by having a huge ass millitary and not attacking anyone, and being a good civ and letting them all wipe eachother out of existance, then the remaining guy's I just hit ally with to see if i could because I was bored and wanted to end, and they accepted and I won the game. I played my next game on Suicidal to try it out and they were ALWAYS Wary of me... I couldnt get it any higher...
Aright Cheer's mate, it should work now... Right now I feel like a complet noob... bugger. Fate, (who now has stats!)
Anybody had any of those random Flukes from either the UP or just an event that leed's to you winning in some way? I just finished a 5 hour long game on a Med map with 3 Suicidal oponents and they were kicking my ass right I had next to no millitary, was waaayyy behind in tech and only had three planets), being the first time playing on suicidal and all that and well then I got given the UP HQ on Earth, and over the next year I managed to win Culturaly... Which was pritty lucky, because
G'day, My charactor stats wont display underneath my post's, anybody got any ideas why this is so and/or how to make them come up? Cheers, Fate,
My god... Keep it all in the one forum you bloody noob!
Text and event's defintly, And maybe somthing to make them more frequent...
Your argument makes sense satthukaraoke, but the inbalance of the game is what makes it so much fun! I've developed a stratergy that works against this, sounds like you need it: Get a Large hull say, and with your max miniturisation ability, you nearly completly pack out all of your free space (after life support, lots of senseors and your engins) with the best defences avalible, for all catagorys that the other race's use. Since a small hull has only 6hp, what you then want to
Im with the "Dont ask" (+70%) Population bonus, it works sooo well in my mind, coz it's better than the econ bonus in every way. People = Econ, so yeah winner for pop! Fate,
I personaly love the tricked up Fighter trick, because even with a miniture logistics leval, if you have say 4 tiny ships onto one medium, or 6 tricked up tiny's onto 2 mediums then the triked up tinys are going to win, because simply put they can target more things. Thats why fighters are so good, you can only destroy them one at a time aswell, which makes it even better! And yes, I agree. there fighter hordes can be anouying, even when your ships smash them without a casualty <img src
