nice one im now playing the campain using all fabs I hated building over bonus research tiles but it makes you so much more powerful. After a day reading these forums I now dont get my arse handed to me though in the campain I think sand box is to easy though and im not a fan of AI that cheat to be harder ill keep and eye on the mods section to see if any one makes a mod that improves AI personalities but leaves everything else as is Im not keen on the tech changes ive seen in the ones availa

well next sand box ill give it a go right now im giving the campains a go they are bastard hard arnt they

where is the option to set focus I want to try this but cant find out how to focus

thanks for the help all makes sense to me now

where is the option to set a planet focus? im gonna try a all x game but cant find the option

what interests me more about this tactic is what it denies the enemy. my question is does the AI realise its lost its miner and build another and how much does that set them back by? even if you dont have a close by planet uppin them to cargo sensor boats and sailing back to influence should explore a fare amount of map and reduce the need for built/rushed scouts so i think its good idea any way but if it can confuse/delay an AI production rampping then it is a great idea even if it is costly

and do you have any tips for quickly finding out what weps/def an AI has as to counter it in time? so far ive been able to tell by engaging them (im getting the info from the battle screen but that only happens in fleet battles can you get the same info in a 1v1 fight?) or looking at what tech they have and guessing. is there a better way?

yes invulnerable is better than longer till you die I see your point. ive been using hp only and a bonus ive found is the ships survive long enough to lvl up more which gives yet more hp. though this same advantage would exisit with the right def too I supose. Any idea if there is a 3in1 def compontent or did I imagine that? Im sure I herd talk of it on this forum but I dont remeber what post

is it a valid stratergy to use just hp rather than try to match defence types? hp is hp against any damage type right? also I remember reading somewhere that there is an item that defends all damage types what is it and which race have it? I have all expasions but as I play ToA most im asking more about that than any other
