[quote]each "soldier" [b]on the invasion screen[/b] is a 'legion'[/quote] ah ha...got it (i think). so in turn, does a transport hold 1000 legions or 1 million soldiers? as always, thanks for your help!
[quote]no such thing as a crappy planet[/quote] guess it's all relative. at higher difficulty settings maybe good planets are scarce so you want to hang on to anything you can get whereas down where us newbies play, PQ9's and 10's are a dime a dozen. i have the techs, i just don't want to spend the time and money to improve them when there's a PQ9 right next door... a couple more questions about soldering if i may. when i look at a planets pop
excellent info and many thanks as it answers all my concerns and gives me some new ideas. [e classic]:congrat:[/e]
again, new at this and am playing an introductory game to feel the game out and one of the AI civs is sending colony ships to every crappy planet in the galaxy! he's in my face, living right next door within my area of influence (not real high yet) so decided to get rid of him. i got 3 transports (3M soldiers), made them a fleet and attacked his planet. after i won the battle i did not want the colony as the planet was, like i said, crap. here are my
play on a larger galaxy, on tiny they're in your face too fast play on an easier difficulty setting (cakewalk maybe until things gel) make your opponents dumb in the set up screens
[quote]If I try to move any ship at all...[/quote] got this same thing and was exasperated like you. what finally resolved it was for me to "guide the ship home" by clicking on the stranded ship then clicking next to my home planet ...it then limped home and once it got there, all was normal again. i'll add that i got into this predicament by entering a worm hole and ending up "far far away" [e digicons]X|[/e]
"All in all I really don't think you can make a bad choice as any version of the game that you choose to play is both immersive and highly addictive." i think i'm coming to that conclusion as well...thanks my friend
i just got the game so i'm nowhere near having a configuration i want to keep. right now i'm just diddling around so wanted to "reset" each time thru. thanks again for you're help but let me ask you one other thing if you don't mind. i bought the ultimate edition after having played the dread lords demo. as you know, ultimate has all 3 games on it. if you had to pick just one, which one would you recommend i try? playing all 3 may be a bit too muc
thanks mumblefratz! while i'm not adverse to manipulating files i was hoping for a one size fits all solution, like a button most games have that allow you to reset to "factory defaults". i'll poke around those files but it "sounds" easier and less dangerous to just change each setting each time to what i want rather than run the risk of removing a critical file.
just stumbled upon this game and bought Ultimate Edition at a local game shop. i've been screwing around with different options and settings and and since i'm just trying to figure stuff out, once i exit the game I DO NOT want the settings around the next time i select NEW game. come on, i'm not loading a save game or "resuming", i want a new game, as in all new settings (duh). so, anyone know a way to start a fresh game with all default settings rather than have settings
