My Current SP Stock Game
 

Well I guess the AI for the Zentradi is rather good. They are attacking me with a fleet of 24 ships, all state of the art, and have been testing my defense for some time. I am about to loose one of my key production worlds. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif My Game File I am just playing for fun and not much more than that. I have not put a lot into the concentration of the gmae so I am paying the price.

Take a look and have a good laugh.

Well the game crashed and I have no current save so I am frustrated and uber angry at the moment.

One thing is for certain, if Diplomacy and politics are not fixed for SE V, that game is going to suffor a horrible fate when it comes to player reviews. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Damn, I hate crashes and RCE's!

I can't Believe it!!!!

THE AI LURED ME INTO A TRAP http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Lol. I was playing Devnull Mod with some changes i made (doubling resource production, added some stuff from Gold D-2 Mod, new shipsizes) High dificulty, High bonuses, Full tech for a great space opera game. And the Drushocka declared war and have probed my borders with small fleets of handfuls of battlecruisers and small carriers. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

At which point i'm stroking a fake goatee Laughing shouting "Hahaha I'm more Evil than you" in the traditional "the british always make the best bad guys" style as i procede to warp into the next system!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Ouch!

They had tested all my borders and needless to say my fleets were spread out trying to protect them all. In this system there was more than 50 Super Dreadnoughts and 10 Heavy Carriers.

I was promptly slaughtered and I'm Now pushing everything to the front lines to form a "token resistance" I can't believe they actually lured me into that trap. And to make it worse the main system into their space that we were contesting over has just had 6 warp points opened into it (probably the drushocka) from all over the galaxy. Looks like i better rethink my plans http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Glad to see you were enjoying yourself Atrocities, as i just showed above the AI can sometimes outthink sleep deprived humans, and thats what makes it fun!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Re: My Current SP Stock Game
 

Atrocities mentioned crashes.
So far in 18 months of playing I can't
remember having one.

I'm running xp home on a recently self built
P4.

Do other people have these problems?

Re: My Current SP Stock Game
 

Crashes caused by se4 are extremely rare on my Viao laptop. Sometimes it'll crash after playing a few thousand turns on a single-player Proportions game, and then I'll find that the savegame is mangled and always crashes at the same point.

Re: My Current SP Stock Game
 

I have problems with crashing if I use ALT-TAB to switch between SE4 and other programs during the AI's turns. I'm using Windows ME.

It's not just SE4. Other games also cause crashes when I use ALT-TAB. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: My Current SP Stock Game
 

I have found that some AI work better than others. I have discovered the value of Null Space and Engine destroying weapons. OMG did that ever hurt.

Medium settings for AI bonus work best for average player, anything less and you can DOMINATE the AI very easily.

If any one is interested in playing the game that I started and seeing how well the Zentreadi (sp) have done, go for it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
