Re: GOLD A.I. vs old A.I.

I fall somewhere between the Last two Posts. I am all for supporting quality game makers like Malfador and Shrapnel. Especially during a time in gaming when it seems as if the industry is producing...

Re: eXperience: the 5h X

Hmmm...
What about simply having a secondary effect of the MEE being that one race (not human) stumbles across some ultimate technology.

It would give them some of the following if not all and it...

On the Ultimate mod.

I must be playing with an older Version of the mod after you mentioned that the maintanence bug on the die-cast mount has been fixed...so if this is also out of date then just...

Re: more stuff we need

Mysterial,
Are you sure you can see the mines of those who you have a partnership with? I am pretty sure in all the games I have played both PBEM and against the AI, I have never seen another guys...

Re: Good defense against missiles?

Point of Defense is it.

Some put one of two per ship and others build ships with mostly PoD cannons on them.

If you do the second, build them with one regular weapon a beam or something,...

Re: Paper #06 (EXOTIC RESOURCES) by: Paul Zimmerman

Or Jimbob...you park a planet destroyer in orbit and become an untouchable.

(Given that destroying a planet with special resources also destroys the special resource.)

That would be ultra cool.

Re: New features I would like to see>>>>

I like the flee option, but it needs some work. Otherwise, it is only another advantage for the human player, in that he will never choose to fight a battle he cannot win. Maybe only have it kick in...

Re: Vote-hardest campaign-non moded

I'm not a big fan of AI bonuses, so I've played one game with every attribute set as low as it can go and without any advanced cultural traits.

Only went through 50 turns, and out of 7 or 8...

Re: AI Use of Stellar Manipulation

I have only seen them use Warp Point closing tech.

Was partnered with them and I didn't pay much attention to this lone ship floating about in my homesystem. They closed a WP which effectively...

Re: What I Hate Most About SEIV

I don't mind the slow turns so much because it gives me a chance to get a new beer or see a man about a horse.

But...

The AI is probably the biggest annoyance. I completely understand that no...

Re: OT - Civ 3 anybody?

I agree, the AI does some pretty cool things. My first game is on the easiest level, with max amount of civs. I started on what seems to be a narrow but long (north to south) continent. Germans to...

OT - Civ 3 anybody?

Heya,
Just fired up Civ 3 Last night for the first time. I love the look and feel of it so far. I can see some differences, but I can also see a lot of similarities to 2.

You can really have a...

Re: Satelittes and Weapon Platforms Designs

Never use either of them. For vunerable planets I use a combo of mines (in space), fighters, and starbases.

A nice option would be to add a feature where one can predetermine the location of...

Re: Bugs in the 1.49

Some games ago, I played as a civilization that does all of its mining off-world, and I noticed that remote mining doesn't show up on the score screen and doesn't count towards one's score.

Re: Movay question

Yea, I'm stupid, I meant moray.

Thanks, Zero. Found it right away!!! Now I am on my way to making a god-awful ugly race. Hope I can make up for it in the AI department.

Many thanks for your help.

I have seen that too Baron, where the AI sends colony ship after colony ship through a WP only to find several of my war ships waiting. However, forever is a long time....

Re: Just an idea

If I remember correctly in Caesar 2, the AI armies had morale as well, but I am pretty sure it was reset with every new battle that took place, which was not so for the player. That's not a realistic...

Re: Just an idea

Excellent, SJ. That sounds like a perfect solution, and incorporating exp. into the mix is brilliant.

The whole key here is to make morale seriously hurt or help an empire. If it just provides a...

Re: Just an idea

Thinking about this a little further, and it might clear up the discussion between having it as part of the exp or separate.

I think it is impossible to have a ship by ship morale rating unless as...

Re: Just an idea

Just as a flip side to Dogscoff idea about shore leave, staying out in space for too long could lower morale. I see it could be a way in which to discourage the tactic of keeping fleets stationed on...

Just an idea

Morale.

Ship morale I think is a good idea. Someone else might have mentioned this before, but I was playing Caesar2 (which I don't like as a whole), and the armies in that game have a morale...
