damn those rebels
 

Had a funny one today...

I'm in the endgame of a pretty long game, just finishing off the Last aliens to win the game... suddenly one of my own colonies rebels and starts their own empire...

It was an unimportant colony so I decide to make quick work of it... I create a warp point to it and send a huge army of ships that annihilate it... all this in the same turn it rebelled...

Then the turn after I got a small shock, because the new empire was telling me how they couldn't allow me to threaten them http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

But then I noticed the line right beneath it where they were reported destroyed http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Perhaps they just didn't notice I had already made a parking lot of their only colony?

Ok I admit I provoked this one http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

These guys are real close to winning for sure, as the line under shows http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

hehe, funny indeed! and they keep trying and trying and trying ...

Re: damn those rebels
 

Heh. All I have to do usually is make a surrender demand and the rebels collapse almost immediately. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

"WE REBEL AGAINST YOUR UNJUST RULE!"
"Get back here."
"...okay."

There was a great Rebel planet in one of my Hotseat games.

One of the Norak's planets rebelled, so my brother sent a surrender demand, plus his fleet of 15 Shiny new high tech Baseships to secure the territory.

The rebels refused to surrender, and instead, vaporized his entire fleet before they could even fire back http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Later, I attacked that same colony with 250 ships. The survivors of that battle included One (1) Battlemoon (10,000kt), 8 assorted minesweepers and other "don't get hurt" support craft, and 20,000 troops (out of 50,000 originally) who managed to capture the planet after a year of ground combat.

surrender....hmmmm.....i had a planet rebel against me (using the TDM mod), and all they say is that their leader will not allow them to surrender to their friends....

That War Feed Four thing was a hoot.

Though when a planet rebels from my empire I just tell them to surrender adn they almost always do. If they don't, I usually move one of my fleets over the planet and take out the defenses and try again. Then they usually give in.

When it comes to computer empires it gets interesting. Sometimes they caves, other times not. Usually if you're a lot strong them they are they'll give up, sometimes you have to win a few big battles against their fleet, and some times I actually have to invade their planets.

My Last game in Ultimate Mod, I never even had to build any troops, everyone was so afraid of my fleet... of 30 warships in 4 fleets. Granted my enemies were all computers but still I had anything and everything of theirs beat by a long shot.

Till the damn Cue Cappa started building Weapon Platforms with the Bunker ability... that sucked hardcore. Made life really tough for a bit.

Re: damn those rebels
 

what exactly is the ultimate mod?

Re: damn those rebels
 

It is a grand old mod under constant development by Hadrian Tyrael Asmodeus Glutinous Maximus Cacophonous Octopus Tiberius Haventine over at www.se.org

Never played it myself, but I think I might have heard someone once mention somewhere that it almost made it into an official SE4 release.

Or something. I'm sure the man himself will fill you in.

Sorry, it wasn't meant to be a real link. I don't know the exact URL off the top of my head. http://se.org ? No idea. Sorry.

Here you go: http://www.spaceempires.org/
