Re: The non-warship challenge
 

OK, it appears my two favourite games are now merging into one. We are discussing ascension conducts in SE4, it's only a matter of time before I start to see nullspace weapons and stellar manipulation spells in nethack.

My head hurts, I need to lie down.

/me waits for vegan and ironman rules for SE4. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[edit]Dogscoff, you forgot the first rule of YASDs:

When surrounded by several creatures, the weakest one will inevitably get the death-blow.

ya know in ZAngband you can hallucinate Klingons, Borg, and Ravenous Bugblatter Beasts of Traal... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Re: The non-warship challenge
 

Oh, you could do it even with mines and no PD.

you'd just have to have an absolutely sick resource base, because your "Mine sweeping" would involve sending your fleet headlong into the mines, making sure its big enough to absorb all the mines.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">OK. How bout this. No research. Escorts, DUC I, CSM 1, Ion engine 1, you against the whole galaxy. Hmm. Think I'll try that now.

Re: The non-warship challenge
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">No way you can win like this.
Against 20 AIs?
Player against all AIs?
No way.

But keep us informed. It will be fun to see what happens. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: The non-warship challenge
 

It takes a whole lot of escorts to clear a minefield. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif On the bright side the AI doesn't really use them all that much. Just on warp points. It's not like you'd have to waste all those ships over every single planet like you would against a human.

The no PD thing would be dealable too I guess. More so if you played tactical and did the missle dance. But even strategic if you make sure you overwhelm the enemy in sheer numbers.

Re: The non-warship challenge
 

That's going to be really difficult! I find it very hard as it is, just to play against 19 A.I.'s on high difficulty with high bonus on team mode! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: The non-warship challenge
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Well... You could play something like zen conduct in se4. You'd have to mod the game so that all planets, asteroids, warp points and enemy ships/units were cloaked, and that you had no sensors to see them... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Nethack too. Daleks, stormtroopers and all kind of crazy stuff. In slashem you can also find and use lightsabers http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif
