For humans i use historical figures names - Magellen - Columbus - Attila - Temujin - Washington, etc. For the other races i some times make up gibberish, other times its random mythological or just totaly random.
My Favorite (Lore wise) would be the Yor, followed by the Arceans, Thalans, Iconians, and Drath/Alterians. Gameplay wise: Yor, followed by Arceans and Thalans. My favorite part of the lore is the vary early story ideas, the Stargate-early human hyperdrive stories. Least favorite (lore) is, well i apreciate them all in diferent ways. But if i had to choose, the Torians just dont seem as DEEP a race or a story. Gameplay wis
Ok, it seems ok now, but ive run into a glitch. Whenever (this senario only so far) i try to exchange some of my influence for a ship the game freezes up and i have to terminate the program, i can use influence as extra but not as the first item, whats up???
Thanks, ill fix that post-haste! Must Kill Dread Lords!! YAY!!
I recently beat this senario (using TA), and once i conqured all the DL worlds the game just kept going on. I looked in the victory conditions screen and it said 100% and there was a save for the endgame of Armagedon, but it wouldnt let me move on. I even crushed the remaining non allied civs and got a Tech Victory, still no victory screen, no moving on to the next senario. HELP!!!
This seems very similar, and quite possibly better than my own ideas for stealth. If this could be implemented the new MODing possiblilties would be immense!!
He wants to creat a custom-player designed-SB, which is unfortunatly impossible. You could MOD some SB fetures, but they would be for every civ.
This sounds amazing, could you lay out exactly what you did so we can replicate this awesomeness!?
I understand how SB assists overlap, etc. and there was only one SB in range, even if there was 2 i only had tech for +1 laser assist, and i had 3 laser attack, and i only equiped skatter-guns to my tiny war ship fleet. Which is why i wondered if the SB assist was a modifyer not a striaght number. I think i got it now, ill just have to be greatfull for the extra laser att./assume the fleet had a ship i bought. LOL
Thanks, it was realy confusing. What still confuses me is: I have seen (TA) what 'apears' to be more assist than i put on a starbase and it was laser when i only had mass drivers, and i checked for SB overlap... Note, i was the arceans if that makes a difference.
Some races are better at lager maps, some at smaller... So its definatly worth variaing size and civ. Recently fineshed a tiny as Arcea, now working on DL campain and a large as Korath. Spores are fun. On topic. Thalans do seem to dominate, but not in a totaly overpowered way. One solution, build starbases![e digicons]:grin:[/e]
I mostly design them myself, but the auto designs do sometimes have advantiges. Sometimes it puts more stuff on a ship than you have miniaturization for[e digicons]}:)[/e] . Also they can look cool, just not in the same whey as a player designed ship.
Does starbase assist change based on its own attack value (thus the assist value would be a modifyer?)? What is Starship Quality? There are lots of events, and some wonders (steller forge, for instance), that increace SQ but it doesnt seem to do any thing. Oh, and 1st post![e digicons]:grin:[/e]
