I found what you were talking about on the details screen. Wow, all this time I have been playing this game I have never noticed that. I only went to that screen to turn off auto-build upgrades and rename planets in the past. Thanx for the help, this totally changes the way I will create research planets. Before I really only made research planets out of ones that had bonus tiles.
Cool. Does this only affect percentage based buildings or would a research building that produced 10 research points be worth 14.6?
When you colonize a planet and and have 3 options to choose from are they just planetary bonuses for percentages, and how do they work? Example: I choose the evil option that reads that I get 46% research bonus. Does that mean that any research facility I place there increases its abiltiy by 46%? If so, is there a place somewhere on the details, summary, or other screen for that planet where I can see this bonus applied or at least lets me know it there? I have not found
Yup. The Altarians get a 25% bonus to research at the start. Use 4 ability points for another 20%. Pick Technologists as your political party for another 20% All this equals a monster 65% research bonus when you begin the game!!!!
Not at first I did last night and I'll try it later. Do I need to download DL which is like 250 mb also?
I got 2.0 from impulse and all was working fine. I played some games and I absolutely love the out of game ship designer. I went to play today and the ship designer button was gone along with the sliders for extreme planets and random event. When I say they gone I mean the buttons and sliders were there but the text for them was missing. I went back to Impulse and it showed that I was still playing 1.96. I re-downloaded 2.0 but when I click on start game it just te
[quote]But given that the customization of a set race ends up being pretty vast, and the end product seems hands-down better than what could ever be created from scratch, is it a clear thing that the stock races will always be more powerful than custom races?[/quote] Yes, absolutely. It is purposely designed that way and even says so in the manual. I myself only play an ARC when I'm going for a ZYW.
Sup fellas. Good to be back. My new baby boy (November 8th) has kept me from conquering stuff. How is all? Still breaking records I see.
Could someone give me the path for this? I found a manual but it appears to be for pre-2.0
Can anybody tell me what folders to put these in for Metaverse use? I thought I had found the correct one....apparently not. They dont have any modded stuff like Kyro's hulls.

Sweet. I didn't see the 'green torpedo' as a video. But it still looks awesome as a still
I just played my first ZYW on DA. Is it me or are there more bonus tiles in DA as compared to TA? Man, it seemed like half of my planet were bonus tiles no matter how many times I would ctrl/n.
[quote]Main problem I have just now is that the enemy always manages to get a colony out, just can't stop them [/quote][quote]I have everything set on rare and technology set to fastest - does star clustering make any difference?[/quote] The exact same thing was happening to me at first. I have the map set to scattered. I'm not positive that comp acts this way, but it seem like if there are no other systems in their sensor range at the start
[quote]btw, LZ, if you want to contribute to our discussion so far (well, by discussion i mean mostly me talking about how the game works), feel free. if nothing else you could (re-)introduce yourself to the other players we have so far (silverbeacher, DethAdder and neilo).[/quote] Cool, thanx. I registered for the ToE site. Just waiting for an administrator to reply
[quote]You've asked this what, five times in this thread alone?[/quote] Darn, busted by the thread police.
[quote]hey KP, did you ever check out our D&D thread over at the ToE site? i found a 'virtual table top' program, and a few of us are getting a campaign together (a primarily evil campaign, of course).[/quote] Do you need players? I'm in if you do!
Has anybody cracked the 100k mark in ToA 1.96 for a ZYW? The highest I can hit is 57k. Do you experts know if DA scores better on the ZYW that Twilight?
[quote]All the premade ship designs have a reach of 0.1 units, but if I recreate the EXACT model myself I get 0.2 units of reach! I don't add a support module or an engine, just weapons and armor.[/quote] I was wondering this myself. Maybe it just doesn't show up as a stat (part of the bug that allows the comp to do it in the first place). No matter how advanced the model of ship is it still shows as 0.1. I know it has some kind of life support module cuz I can see it on
Hmmmmm. Where is the focus button and the sliders? I cant seem to locate them
DO you play Warhammer: Dawn of War?
If you mean a planet that has more than a 16bil pop cap before you colonize it.............I am 99.9% positive that it does not exist without editing an XML file. Off topic - I once edited the PQ number for a planet to 72 or 74 (cant remember the max). It was neat to have your starting planet have 74 usable tiles!!!!
Did you guys notice that it only adds Beam weapons and not missles or mass drivers The game I just played I had acheived, thru research and trade, missles that were three complete levels above what my beams were. The computer would only use lasers and not the missles.......strange. If I got a new tech in beam the comp would immediately say 'new design available' but not with missles and mass drivers.
[quote]The use of the secondary puzzles me at the moment. I have had 100K+ games using these following homestars. Thala (one PQ 15, no secondary) Iconis (one PQ14 (IIRC), one PQ3 secondary) with and without colonizing the secondary.[/quote] Did you have to alter an XML file for this?
