Probably just because it's summer, I'm going on holiday tonight for example. A lot to do when I get back, THHGTTG Mod for DA, The Mod Metaverse and Urban Warfare for Civ 4. Also TGE, make sure you check in at TBSM every now and then, it's eerily unquiet ATM . <im

So the AI actually makes its own ship designs and doesn't just build stock template ships? It uses templates for the cosmetics (computers don't have an eye for design you see), but adds components on intelligently.

This is me posting a very disappointing defeat. The Thal stumbled upon planets with both Precursor Mines and Libraries and I didn't notice, leaving it unchecked. From then on, it was just countdown to their domination. I did manage to get to Galactic Understanding, though. Here's a screenshot from the endgame: I would've liked to have another stab at it but I'm going on holiday in 2 days so no chance. An

I never played GalCiv 1, but I think the way engines were handled in that game was instead of having engine components, engine techs just gave an overall bonus to speed (like the first impulse, warp, and hyperwarp techs do in GCII). This is because there was no ship design . <a

Just post in this thread and once Kryo's looked over them he'll approve them.

I think the AI will be all right with this; part of the way it was programmed was to be flexible and to adapt. Only way to find out though is to try it out.

Any goo image editing software will do it for you, as long as it can export as PNG (which most, if not all, can). Adobe Photoshop is a good package and is what I use, but if you're looking for something free, try The GIMP . It is a bit confusing but very powerful and above all, free . Race logos themselves need to be size 128x128 and in the PNG format. Hope this h

Reply to AI Personality in Modding

Sorry, no proper multiplayer in the game, the Ctrl+Shift+Z gives you a quasi-hotseat game, but I've never tried it so I can't say any more . There is no 'No AI Personality'.

I believe the real quation should be, who would participate as player ? A very good point, and certainly players are invited to voice their opinions. I also would like to know, how it works in general. In DA 1.6, Stardock introduced a new feature whereby at the end of every non-meta game, a XML file is produced detailing endgame stats. In 1.7, they will add a few measures to prevent cheating. The MMV rel

Greetings to all modders. Recently I have been working on using the endgame XML feature that will be included in DA 1.7 to create a separate metaverse that will allow you to submit games that have been played with mods. What I would like to know from you is do you want your mod to be in the MMV? If the answer is yes, then post here and it will be included. This is primarily aimed at modmakers but if any players want to see a mod included, speak up as well. <img src="http://www.

On the subject of forums, I can get us all a private forum on TBS Modder (my site) to discuss strategy and stuff if you want. I say ShadowWorrior should be captain, but would be prepared to do it myself, it doesn't seem like it involves much . The Domination of Death is good for me, although I liked MottiKhan's original suggestion. <img src="http://www.tbsmodder.com/images/gc2b

I noticed there are absolutely zero UFP mods in the Library. There is TOV's UP and starbase mod you could try. 1. reversing a law? Sorry, not possible. Some of the laws do expire after a while though. 2. creating absolutely new laws? with any in-game effect? That can be done. See the stickied Modding Guide. 3. creating

how far can i go and the computer will recognize as something beneficial enough to build or research. The Techs have an tag. The higher the value in it, the more likely the AI will research it.
