Re: Galaxy at war - Ulm vs Ulm - NEW,ACTUALLY PLAYABLE
 

If anything, Johnny Rico ought to be a Lieutenant, but if you want a higher rank: 'Space Martial'. Also, Ulm ought to get heros: "Hassan the Assassin" "Sergeant Zim" and "Corporal Ace" "Corporal Dizzy" and "Corporal Kitten". Maybe a "Space Martial Anson" after RAH?

uploading v0.41 now

Re: Dominions 3000 v0.41 Ulm & R'lyeh + indies
 

pplz don't hold back, just DL this :D

also I see some have DL'ed (and I hope played) my files so I need feeeeed bacccckkkk

PS Jomon is getting along nicely, nick had some nice idea's for the nation and he's busy with some sprites for the commanders. Depending how fast he's going I'll see if I can use his sprites for those commanders to post the next version in a few days or if I'll just use some placeholders (the regular unit sprites.)

Re: Dominions 3000 v0.45 Ulm, R'lyeh, Jomon & indies
 

OK pplz new version is out.. 3 nations to play..

so play it and give feedback so we can start balancing it all and see which nations need a few extra things and what would be nice there...

Any idea's for our 4th nation?

OW and don't forget to reupload the solar map files since I deleted a few of ths fishies since they seem to be a bit of a hassle as indies if there are too much (except for R'lyeh who just mindblast them anyway)

Re: Dominions 3000 v0.45 Ulm, R'lyeh, Jomon & indies
 

this is a really fun mod to play with so keep up with the good work

Re: Dominions 3000 v0.45 Ulm, R'lyeh, Jomon & indies
 

I'll have to see what space R'lyeh is like, but Alpha Centauri-inspired Xenofungus/Mind Worm symbiosis nation and/or independent province could be rather interesting.

Re: Dominions 3000 v0.45 Ulm, R'lyeh, Jomon & indies
 

Hunt11 anything that you found that needs improving, changing etc?

Endo: seems pplz like mind controllers Honey-Badgers (I think) wants to make a mind controlling aboleth race. Anyway if you play a bit with R'lyeh (which basicly is very much like R'lyeh in the basic game but they don't have the absurd cheap chaff to make a screen for the Illithid) let me know if you think the nation you mention would still add to the game.. and if so.. don't hold back :D

Re: Dominions 3000 v0.45 Ulm, R'lyeh, Jomon & indies
 

The only problem i had was when i was playing with Jomon and using the Dai-Oni the first one i used after the first battle changed back to the original Dai-Oni and was behaving like it as well (he got the automatic two wolves at the start of the battle) the next couple Dai-Oni did not seem to share the same problem. The only really two things that I would like to see added (except for new nation, but you are already working on that) would be more independent types over then space pirates, and a bigger map which would open the way to truly epic games as massive space empires wage war over entire galaxies.

Re: Dominions 3000 v0.45 Ulm, R'lyeh, Jomon & indies
 

Well with only 3 races so far the map is pretty much too big atm by most standards.. if we get more races I could make a lot more of this map or create another.

I copied the Dai-Oni and only changed his stats to reflect the suit he's wearing and gave him weapons for that (fire weapons since I think that is thematic) the wolves are just there... they should be untill I think of a nicer one battle spell. If Dai-oni change to their original sprite then I used a wrong #firstshape somewhere.

PS there are 2 indie types (but I'm sure you already saw that) when I find some nice sprites and idea's for indies I'll make them but since indies are only a small part of the early game new nations have priority (so you can get your epic games.)

a few questions:
-did you think the indies where much stronger than in the regular game?
(in the lastest version of the map I removed a lot of teh fish since I thought more than 2 of them would be way to strong for indie armies.)
- Which of the races did you think was strongest?
- which of the races seemed the least complete?

Re: Dominions 3000 v0.45 Ulm, R'lyeh, Jomon & indies
 

The indies are a lot stronger then you would usually find so it make initial expansion a lot slower then it should be. The strongest race has to be Ulm with their strong infantry and their very powerful spaceships. No nation really seems to lack anything but R'lyeh seems like you could add more units that they could recruit to represent alien species that had been enslaved and that now lives to serve their masters.
