What do you mean? Are mines less likely to show up using loose clusters? No, but I had started a game and had a 700% (+2x +100%) on my homeworld. Plus a Morale, a Science and two military resources nearby. And All the others far away in some corner. It was THE game. Only it was tight stars. Well, there's no use complaing...
Star density is loose clusters bye, bye precursor mine. Sigh!
Can't we just let star density be whatever people want? No rules-->free choice!
I guess we'll discuss assignment at the core too. So I'll leave my request for team C team-captain (whoever that is) there.
Oh and bulding manufacturing sectors on Wisp but nothing else. Why does it do THAT. A starport might be of use
The second week of a war (against me and no one else, DL), the Altarians removed their military resource starbase. Thanks for the help guys!
All random, loads of settings. There are different map sizes and you can zoom in and out of all universes. DO buy it. It deserves to be bought!
Your evil ways are tempting - I think I am going to try out evil too in my next game.
I've realised that naming ships is important. After all, you want to know what you are building. So after a few games of using Star Trekish names (Kirk, Galaxy, Defiant,...), I now use more "telling names". I usually add "sys" to all ships without propulsion, for example. plus I usually number my upgrades, resulting in computerlike names (e.g. Frigate A, Frigate B, Frigate C - so I can quickly see how old a ship is. I also use early alphabet letters to move ships to the
Thanks for the spoiler warning!
I just sold Theory mass Drivers, railgun I+II to the Yor. They offered me 227 for the package. But I sold the technologies one by one, so I got 141+121+141=403 cr. That is 76% more. Weird, isn't it? I guess most of you found out about this years ago - but still someone outthere might be as dumb as I am.
I think advanced notice should occur before (or the day of) a round starts Sounds logical. Now - gimme the rules - I want to get started before the sun sets!
War, peace doesn't really matter Mumblefratz is only right if there are no enemy transports near undefended planets. I just love propaganda wars (I guess that's my German heritage...), and the AI might use your people gainst you...
An interesting read!
So where can I find round No 3? (I love winnng, also I only am responsible for about 9% of our teams success this round)
The results will be posted in just a few minutes... Please hold the line... dideldideldi da dideldie da dideldi da dideldi-i... (Beethoven, obviously)
If a player gives advanced notice of his inability to submit a game then that player will not be counted as a member of the team for purposes of calculating averages I suggest: Advanced notice = at least 5 days before the deadline
Oh my, I am going to lose us a cerdit for slowest game. I apologize to my team!
It can be hard work starting a new empire (or joining one). There is only one empire that automatically makes you a "Senator". It's the Gerontocracy! Plus we like to welcome you aboard
In my last few games -I tried to tresearch to medium hulls before building any armed ships. I've also realized that this works best for civilizations with a starting logistics of 7+ (so I can have pairs with basic logistics). These ships can be built when I built my factories and wonders (switching from 100% science to 99 civ/1 mil). Do you build small ships? Why? or even tiny ones?
Certainly a very early focus for me is xeno ethics up to concepts of malice to build the MCC (and get the 100% econ bonus) and the artifical slave center. You only have to look at mumbles scores to see that his way works. Still for an (almost) all econ strategy - neutral might also be an option. I think you get a morale bonus and buying things becomes cheaper. Plus the AI is sometimes rather reluctant about giving away terraforming tech.
one must make ethinical decisions in such a way that it eliminates I just like how he combines "ethnical" and "eliminate". That's so evil! Seriously: I agree that good civs are hampered by the game - unless you do a lot of evil and buy yourself a white vest (which is just like Bill G., btw). I don't think tat complicated details and new game mechanics are the answer though. There is no real reason why evil civs like each other - pun
Welcome, old robot!
Makes terraforming tech/neutral more powerful!
