Hence, "some form of the list". http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif Thanks!

Oh, by the way, why exchange population would be gamey???

Re: Gamey Tactics and Bug Exploits Thread
 

Maybe a link to some place you can keep the list updated. As new bug exploits are discovered and if and when any patches coem out the list will likely change.

So about the bug exploits half... what are all the bugs that can be exploited in 1.84?

Re: Gamey Tactics and Bug Exploits Thread
 

Not sure "Intelligence Projects" should be listed. First of all, it's most assuredly not in the realm of gamey. Secondly, it's really just one item of a list of items any person creating a game might want to disallow. For instance, a person could create a game that didn't use missiles or mines or stellar manip. Not because they are gamey...just to create a game without that particular component. To me, intel is just another feature/item (or whatever) that a person might not want in their game. So, I'd suggest removing it and adding a item called (something like) "Areas not allowed as specified at game setup (e.g., intel, ruins, mines, etc.)"

Just a thought.

Re: Gamey Tactics and Bug Exploits Thread
 

Again, this is not a discussion thread. All I will say is that the entire Intelligence system of SE4 is completely screwey, and using it is very, very gamey. It stays on the list. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif And either way, it is something that every game host needs to sit down and think about wether allowing it or not in the game. It is just such a horrible system that it generally has the effect of ruining games instead of making them more fun.
