[quote] meanwhile, Dark Avatar is still broken... How is it broken? [/quote] I will respond with thread posts instead of typing everything, however one glaring issue, is that despite DA 1.8e being pretty much unusable due to the fleet movement bug, it has remained on SDC for over 1 month, when it definitely should have been removed and reverted back to 1.8c/d or put the beta 1.8f/g.
meanwhile, Dark Avatar is still broken...
This story is BS, period.
hah I just replied o someone with this, but yes I can confim tha a minor ace can achieve transcendence. Same sympoms too!
I had some new ace enter the galaxy and get a tech victory, and i told me they likely wouldnt shae the secrets. They also had every tech in the game.. (ultimate logistis, blackhole eupters, etc)
[quote] Generally patches and updates don't erm, screw things up, as much as they make things better and eliminate pesky bugs and problems. So, enjoy the updates and new features! [/quote] except for 1.8e...which has been broken for over 1 month.
I believe it is social/military units [shields/hammers], and it is divided by the standard % divider.
Every year raise taxes, that planet will empty out first. So raise taxes for 3-4 turns and you will be fine. But yes a more perm. solution must be found.
same...Im using a 8800gts, and my laptop with a x700 gets the same issue. Definitely not a specific gfx card issue.
[quote] Is it just me, or is that an odd description for a hull improvement? The word "doomsday" means something apocalyptic, and it just sounds a little out of scale there. [/quote] I thought the exact same thing, then i came to post that... and well here you are speaking my exact words...definitely needs a new name.
The answer is simple. Take out the espionage bonuses and pu in something worthwhile... maybe social/mil producion bonus, or miniturization bonus.
This is always my tactic late game when i invade and I dont have the forces to hold a planet, I immediately destroy the colony, even if its a high PQ planet. I once destroyed a PQ27 1/2 across the galaxy because I simply did not have the resources and time to defend it.. Scorched Earth policy is pat of my regular gameplay. No sense in letting the AI gain free technology off of you either, or letting them reclaim a planet that you know you cannot challenge again.
I agree, I also always get that, just to save on space needed for sensors. Howeve the AI neve builds this in my games, so I just take it for granted.
For the love of arnor, please make UP better. Alpha Centauri did it better and that game was reated in the 90's. Make UP something that is important, make it so we can submit things, so that we can pressue or buy votes inside the UP meetings right before the vote. This is what I am hoping for in TOTA even thouh i hasnt been said.
ETA for beta3c ... (in EST peferably?)
Hull size and miniturization. If you are 1 weapons tech behind, but have 1 larger hullsize and some miniturization, you will often win (obviously dependant on racial&custom bonuses). Bein the first race to get medium and large hulls affords me a large amount of power. Logistics is important if you find that 1-2sips fleeted need more strength. This is my playing style, and I find that I do win if gameplay is calm, and it is not 7v1. So to sum it up.... 1)hull s
This is happening in TA and DA. Im pretty sure at this point all these problems are being introduced in the "fixes" 1.8f/g. I was able to resurrect 1.8c on my laptop and these issues are non existant so far. I will keep playing with 1.8c and see if the bugs show up..
use the bugfix 1.8g3 at the top of te bugforum in the post called "pathfinding and metaverse error #12 fix" 1.8g3 fixes this, howeve at least for me it has made the game a bit mroe unstable... (no TURN finish button sometimes...)
Check the email for the serial and enter/register it into Stardock central. Make sure "Show pre-release versions" checkbox on the bottom is enabled.
I dont share it, it often cripples a couple of opponents, which makes them very very easy to take over in a year or two. Let them rot.
Disable running the game in fullsceen. hen it will run in a "window" of you choice resolution.
+50 defense space cannon?????
[Begin heated rant>>} Dark avatar 1.8f/g is so crashy I have no idea what in the world is wrong(no driver changes or anything... I should've stayed with 1.8C !!), but every DA (not TOA weirdly) game I play it will without fail crash when I select a planet, or after an invasion. Its never the 1st one, bu at some point it happens and it is so damn frustrating I give up and think of uninstalling. Why is DA STILL broken a month after 1.8e broke it? I understand all the resources put into TO
Its the way of the GalCiv forums. Send the bug reports in to get them fixed, stop tryin to defend it in BS.
Yes you can name them when created, or afterwards, click one and click on details in the lower left, and it will pop up wit the original creation window where you can change the type and name of a rally point.
