No AI Minesweepers???????!!!!!
 

Hi all,

still waiting for SE4, but read in some Posts here, that the AI doesn´t build minesweepers.

Well, i know that SE4 is still not "finished" and that there is still a lot of work to do - but, will this be fixed. I mean, will the AI in the future be smart enough to build minesweepers??

I think, if it doesn´t build minesweepers, it is really no challenge to play this game (of course it is a challenge, but you know...). Mine your warppoints and that´s it.

Any answers would be kind.

P.S. To the lucky ones, who own the full Version yet, "did you see large AI-Fleets?".

Re: No AI Minesweepers???????!!!!!
 

Great thing about this game is that we ask, and they release the patch ASAP.

Most game companies put out a game that will be playable for about a week, and if your lucky will fix any huge bugs in a few months.

I'm sure it'll be fixed.

Yeah,

the communication between the fans MM/SG is really cool. The same thing i encountered was/is in the Combat Mission forum at Big Time Software. It´s the only possibility for "small" companies to survive on the market. And i think, this is good - very good.

Ehm, did you see big AI fleets, yet?

Greetings and many thanks from Germany

Seems strange to me to sice we have a free trade agreement, and an open boarder.

And all that's if they'll ship it at all, had a hell of a time trying to spend 500$ US on a new CPU, mobo.

Can't buy it here because that just adds an extra middle man to jackup the price.

Re: No AI Minesweepers???????!!!!!
 

I looked through the AI build files and it did not seem to be much/any challenge to add mine sweepers to the standard build order. I have only been playing the released game for a few hours and havn't seen any large fleets yet, but in the demo I saw fleets as large as 15-20 ships

Re: No AI Minesweepers???????!!!!!
 

That´s a surprise to me... I never saw in the demo such a big fleet. Hmmmmm.

Doing something wrong?.....

Well, but funny, if such fleets still exist even in the demo. So, in the full Version i will see and fight them.

Thanks a lot!

Ahhh, Danny,

the best thing for us both would be to live in the USA. Wouldn´t it??

Giggle, giggle, just made a joke.

I feel with you. It is unsatisfactory at all.
Keep your head high - i´m sure, your game will arrive in time.

Thanks a lot.

I always *****, *****, ***** before hand, but all will be forgetten the moment it gets here. Looking at probably Monday.

Re: No AI Minesweepers???????!!!!!
 

My first game saw AI fleets of 15-20, incl. Dreadnaughts, by year 14. I upped the max systems to 255 and the max ships to 300 using the in-game slider. I wuz thinkin, "Duh, mai bee da AayAh ain' gittin' enuf ships t'do whut it wuntz." So, I gave it more.

But, Lordy Knows, Ah don'theenk too braht.

Hi Seawolf!

Does this mean, that you have seen AI-minesweepers in action?

Hopefully, i was wrong, when i posted, that there are no AI-minesweepers!

Please answer me!

Thanks a lot!

Jochen

Re: No AI Minesweepers???????!!!!!
 

Yes I have seen Ai-minsweepers in action. Of course it was after they captured one of mine so.... But they did produce more after they got mine. Also don't forget that, and I could be wrong, if ships are cloaked or using stealth armor the mines may not detect them.

No I live in Canda, which means I pay more then over night rate for 7-10 ground. Plus I ordered from C&B so they just got there copies shipped yesterday.

Bloody Americans and there BS shipping lies, I refuse to believe that when it costs more to ship from Niagra Falls Onterio to Niagra Falls Michagin then from NY to LA someone isn't pocketing the extra money.

Re: No AI Minesweepers???????!!!!!
 

I´m sorry for you, that you don´t have the game yet.

Well, i don´t know what to say to your opinion - on the first look, it´s a little bit strange, even for me, that you, as a canadian, habe to wait so long.

Hmm, i often heard this by canadians in internet forums. Well, for me as a german, there is not only the time, waiting for the arival of a game, but the high price i have to pay. I think, that SE4 would cost me near to 150,-- - 170,-- Deutschmarks. Grrrrrr!

O.k., let us calm down - the game will arrive and everything will be good.

Re: No AI Minesweepers???????!!!!!

But yes, MM, please put me on the top of your list - ahyeah!

To Ferendra:

Yes, i´m also a big Combat Mission Fan. Combat Mission is THE game for me. Do you know it, too?

Greetings

Re: No AI Minesweepers???????!!!!!
 

Jochen,

Why aren't you playing Europa Universalis?! I would think any German strategy gamer would be playing EU not stop. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: No AI Minesweepers???????!!!!!
 

"I like to play "wargames" (i´m interested in military things/history - it´s my hobby, so Combat Mission is for me the hit of the year. "

An excellent game which is totally free is Steel Panthers: World At War. The only problem is that it's a huge download ! Well worth it though for any wargamer.

Re: No AI Minesweepers???????!!!!!
 

Hi Kent,

i know it´s a shame, but i don´t know EU. I heard about it somewhere, but, till now, i didn´t do anything to get more information about it.

Well, i try to get more info about it now, cause a lot of people are talking about this good game.

I like to play "wargames" (i´m interested in military things/history - it´s my hobby, so Combat Mission is for me the hit of the year. Even today i have a original copy of Master of Orion II, (this was my favourite game over years, so my interest at the moment is on SE4).

Thanks a lot, ´hope for you, that you have the full Version - i´m still waiting for it and starting to be sorrowed.

Greetings from Germany

Re: No AI Minesweepers???????!!!!!
 

It seems that Europa Universalis does not have a demo. Is this correct?

Re: No AI Minesweepers???????!!!!!
 

I second that, Adamus.
Great game, great support and totally free.
Sadly not available on a Game-Magazine
Cover CD in Germany due to content.
So, only download (MB 350) or burned CD
by nice people.
Try that on their forum. Somebody possibly
will. :-))

Maybe I could help you, but there's no email ...

Doesn't matter that much, you'll find me on the MATRIX GAME forum as well http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon10.gif

And don't forget - they have 3 games for free download - Pacific War & War in Russia as well !!!

Re: No AI Minesweepers???????!!!!!
 

hello to Herr Schmidt and Ferendra...playing both CM and SEIV??

tsk, tsk....how do you find the time??!!

hehe....doing the same myself.

Both are very good games..

Re: No AI Minesweepers???????!!!!!
 

I would be very happy, if i could play SE4, but only the demo-Version is played be me.

CM is great! too!

Well, i ask myself, how i can find the time to play such a lot - even my girlfriend asks me to often - ´think should play more with my girlfriend....

Greetings from Germany

Jochen

Re: No AI Minesweepers???????!!!!!
 

Funny thing!

It seems that the community here, does play all the same games.

I know Steel Panthers, i played it several years. The Download is to much for my old demo - btw, since Combat Mission is out, i can live without Steel Panthers (it is still a great game - but, i feel more confident with CM).

Greetings to all

Jochen

Re: No AI Minesweepers???????!!!!!
 

Sorry,

wanted to say "the Download is to much for my old modem...."
