I added a link to the Strategy site in my links page at NASY. Keep up the good work, your efforts are appreciated by a great many people. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Ahh, the green. Yeah, that is pretty dark. It should be a bit brighter.

Re: space empires strategy & tactics site
 

It is pretty dark, I was looking for a slightly dark Borg type look! Not to blind anyone looking over my site! LOL

I will try to "fix" this tonight.

Re: space empires strategy & tactics site
 

Thanks for the site. I read the whole thing Last night. I wish i had that site when i first started playing http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif I would imagine it would even be useful for novices since it has a lot of neat strategies I hadn't thought of. Makes me want to play my first PBEM game too http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

baetis I think that you would love PBW, It is a long time between game turns,and quite possibly years before a game is finished, but no more enemies sending just one ship at a time thru your heavily mined warp point. I wish it would move faster. You tend to forget your game-plan in the down-time. My advice would be to take notes. But I have yet to finish in the top half, perhaps the reason I felt a need for the site I am currently working on! I must be doing something wrong!! Perhaps ADD? LOL!

Atrocities thank you for the link! I hope to make S&T worthy of your link (so much content is lacking).
But I hope to resolve this with the Yahoo group I have started, found under discuss in the website. I would hope for an article on each weapon, facility. I know I wish for a lot, but in the long run it may be easier than seeing the same questions posted one more time.
while I know that no single site can even come close to answering all of the questions posted, perhaps this group would find the time to copy/post in the yahoo group so that some Strategy/tactic questions and ideas are not lost in this forum.
Your help is greatly appreciated, I can't do this alone.

Re: space empires strategy & tactics site
 

Yeah, thats really the problem. It takes long enough to finish a game against the AI locally...I wonder what percentage of PBW/PBEM games are actually completed. I'll try it eventually. I bet playing the first say 20 turns on tcp/ip really helps...

thx

I have added more content, the next step is to start compiling the Dubious strategy guide into the format of the webpage. It still amazes me the huge amount of very useful contributions that are posted on this forum! you guys are great! If you ever need a chuckle, go back to the very early Posts, it will show you how much this game, and forum have evolved http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
