Game submission for the Blade Runners: Character name: Ghostwes Race: Krynn Years: 5 Victory Type: Political/Alliance Difficulty: Painful Score: 7140 Timestamp: 4/27/2008 8:05:27 AM Note: This was probably the fifth game I started, changing only the difficulty each time, but I never once met a minor race. Anyone else experience this?
May as well wait until TA is out, no?
[quote]FYI "QFT" stands for "quote for truth". You didn't quote anything.[/quote] Actually, it also has another common usage: Quit F***ing Trolling. Pretty much the opposite of what Wyndstar intended, but that's how I read it at first :-)
[quote]I have to say that it’s my opinion that you are a detriment to this community.[/quote] Agreed. The majority of his posts are flames directed at someone. I'm surprised he's still allowed to post in this forum.
It's ten years old, but this is one if my favourite of that type of game: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warhammer:_Dark_Omen You don't need to have any knowledge of the Warhammer universe (and, in fact, I do not) to enjoy it.
I got the password. Thanks Mumblefratz.
It's not that urgent, really, but thank you. I can always just check the forum from my work pc when I get back in town. I can't play any galciv2 until I get back either, so no worries. Might be cutting this round's submission a little close is all.
Nope
[quote]Yes I do, I've no clue why I called Ghostwes, Iztok.[/quote] It's because I'm so damned good, right? (just nod your head)
FireBender, why would you need our password? You are not a Blade Runner... I, however, am a member of the team, and am still waiting for someone to email me the Core password. I'm away from my regular pc, so don't have it saved on this pc. If someone could send the password to me privately, I would very much appreciate it.
Well, I was not aware of that, no. However I am trying to access some posts by Wyndstar that were made on the Core.
Would someone please send me a PM with the password to the Blade Runners forum for the Core? I have it saved on my work pc but not here at home. Thanks in advance.
I just started playing Dom3 and am enjoying myself. Haven't tried MP yet, but will as soon as I can. I think Dom3 has something in common with Nethack, oddly enough: underneath the admittedly unimpressive aesthetics is a [i]very[/i] complex game. It's not pretty, but there's a [i]lot[/i] to it!
Raise your hand if you read this as "[b]Weird Al[/b] behavior". His last album was pretty good!
This is an informative thread -- thanks!
[quote]I don't always do a colony rush though. If there's a combination of 700%+ research bonus on my homeworld I won't even colonise my secondary planet. I just go straight for diplomatic, ethics, beam and invasion techs. In that case, my initial colony ship usually gets upgraded to a constructor.[/quote] Would you mind explaining why you would do this? Were I in such a scenario, I would still think it worthwhile it to colonize the second planet, even if I don't build anything on it fo
Somehow didn't see this post until now... Yeah, it can get annoying when the AI has carelessly built up [strike]my future[/strike] their planets. Some of the rules that have been set make little sense to me; for example, why would only one race be able to produce a trade good? For that matter, if I give another race my trade good -- which symbolically, I think, is meant to suggest the right to produce that trade good for themselves -- why do they not have to spend a tile for it
Brad or other Stardock reps, if you are reading this and have a moment, would you be willing to explain to us what this setting does exactly? I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere. Thanks in advance.

For those who respond, please specify the version of the game you are using, DL or DA, and your typical difficulty played, if it's not already obvious from your metaverse medals. Any techs that you start with as a result of race choice should also be included, in addition to the ten, but with brackets eg. (Stellar Cartography) around them. I am interested in seeing if there is some consensus on what techs players pursue, and in which order they pursue them. And, more specifically, I am in
Thanks everyone.
How exactly are these games being won? There's a reference to Wyndstar's instructions above, but I don't see any... can someone link, please?
Yeah, this doesn't seem to work all that well at anything past Painful, in my experience. The AI's start demanding an arm and a leg, in the Drengin's case, literally!

Man, you should get a [i]real[/i] medal for this. I mean, 250 games? Wowzers. And, from the look of it, mostly high difficulty games. Hats off to you, sir!
