""wEEE are coming....the crEEEator has givin us substance and form....bEEEware, for wEEE hunger! no longer shall the races laugh at the EEE, wEEE shall dance upon their graves! hEEE, hEEE, hEEE!!!"".

-exerpt from the diary of the mad 'most high lord dEEEvious' of the EEEvil Empire...coming soon to a game near you...shipset by Andres, AI by Deathstalker (in development...). Many thanks to Spoo and Askan for 'help' in forming their persona...

Don't mention it.

Assume you have a 1kg squirrel
E=mc^2
E=1kg(3x10^8m/s)^2=9x10^16J
which, if I'm not mistaken, is equivilent to roughly a 50 megaton nuclear bomb.
Fear the squirrel.

Re: EEEvil Empire
 

What's that? You've modified the EEE in the default game? Or you've created a new race that's also named EEE? Or you're just using a funny speech pattern like this new race your working on? This is a confusing post.

Re: EEEvil Empire
 

Sorry if it sEEEms to be confusing...in gamEEE jokes... http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon12.gif

Anyway, in English: I have played multiple games on pbw using the EEE shipset, calling them the EEEvil Empire, roleplaying as a psychotic Version of the EEE that drools, slobbers, and generally acts like a crossbreed of a Klingon with an EEE (with a dash of SpaceBalls humor).

Andres has reworked the EEE shipset, making it 'EEEvil', just working on the AI files and speech file right now.....hope this clears up things for those not familiar with this race...it will called the EEEvil Empire, seperate from the EEE (who they regard as their 'tree-hugging cousins')...

I'll look forward to lending a hand in future "developments" of the EEEvil Empire.

You put de limee in de cocoanut and drink de bowl up...... and call ME in de morning. I had my fun, and will give Aaron a few suggestions. I need to stop playing though, and go to work soon. Helping Aaron is for practice...

Re: EEEvil Empire
 

I can't decide whether it's a good or bad thing that the EEEvil Empire has to deal with the Rrurrr rather than the Mi-Go.

Re: EEEvil Empire
 

I never was a team player, and I probably never will be, because such is not my nature. I confess a great flaw, an irresistable urge to meddle. The obnoxious comments I make result from how I was raised and are not the fault of society but rather my own contextual interpretation of language. I am too lazy to use the dictionary in most cases. In the previous post I was merely quoting a persistant tune I heard years ago, with a minor twist to make it more amusing. The attempts I make at humor often fall flat and induce hostility in others, unfortunate but true. I apologize for once again intruding onto the forum, and will visit no more. A friend such as I would be would probably harm Aaron more than any help would be worth. So unless he specifically asks, I will not offer any more opinions. As one Last quote, "I am only an insect cradled in the hands of a giant". Lycos search "Founding Fathers". I have observed that Lycos follows the rule of thumb - "garbage in, garbage out". So frame your search Queries carefully to avoid nonsense.....

Re: EEEvil Empire
 

Um, yeah....

anyway...

EEEvil Empire update, first Version of the AI is in testing phase (as is the Dragons AI for Andres, and another AI for myself, the Red Gauntlets Merc Guild.),

Turn 11, I have just discovered destroyers, Duc IV and Armor IV (med tech, low cost, sim-move game). The EEEvil have arrived at my home system with a fleet of 10 ships, most Light Cruisers, they declaired war the turn after I met with them.

Rankings: 1st: Dragons AI, 2: EEEvil, 3: Galactic Empire AI, 4th: Addisian, the Gauntlets are in 7th, and I rank 10th out of 10 empires...

They should be ready for general release by end of the week......

'wEEE are coming.....'

Re: EEEvil Empire
 

Did you change the way that EEEvil build ships ???

I hope they colonize a lot of planets very quickly.

You know the saying A little EEevil here a little EEevil there.

EEevil is a foot.

Re: EEEvil Empire
 

Yep, they have their own Vehicle Construct.txt (from scratch), just tweaking them to build the right number of Kamikaze and Boarding Ships right now, (and yes, they are not typical kami/board ships...)..

Update on that game, by turn 38 I had to abandon it, the EEEvil used their fleet and glassed four of my planets in my home system, including one of three homeworlds...time to tweak some more....(they only had 20 or so planets by then..) and then start a new game...still hoping for the end of the week...

Re: EEEvil Empire
 

....Almost done.....

Just tweaking the Vehicle Construct.txt again, should be done by late sat/ early sun at the latest (just in time for my birthday....yaaaaa!).
That and working on the shipnames and spEEEch file, for those of you that are truely 'not into humor' (ie, just can't play with a shipset that has a 'wacked out' race pic), there will be an alternate race pic included....

And as a first for me they seem to be having a good start from 'low' tech starts, most of my races are 'optimised' for med tech starts...but I digress...

"Memory," the old man said softly, "is tricky. I have learned two things from it. One: That without meaningful memories, there is no life. Two: that we are desperate for our lives to make sense, to have meaning,--and at a great enough remove , all memory is malleable." -Michelle West 'Sea of Sorrows', SunSword book IV.

Re: EEEvil Empire
 

Could you send some stats on the emipre for your game testing?

I am in the process of modding some ai's for my inhouse mod and I would like to see where your empire stands at certain points in the game.

Say 10 turns,40 turns, 60 turns etc...

Thanks
