Tactical minelaying Q and a possible exploit

This Q applies only to non-Simultaneous games against the AI(s).

I had an unarmed minelayer just minding its own biz and beginning to mine a warp point when the enemy barged in. The enemy fleet...

Re: Help request

Well, I solved it all by brute force.

I just uninstalled and deleted everything: the SEIV, the SEIV Deluxe patch, and everything that looked like TDM Modpack.

Then, I reinstalled from the...

Re: Help request

3 of the 4 WERE pre-Gold. Do I need to avoid those AIs?

I patched from the not-Gold installed game. Does that make a difference?

Above, I gave examples of the not-found AI Settings.

As I said earlier, I have a Pentium III, 733 MHz. I have defragged recently, and have over 3 gig free. I am using Windows 98, and am unsure it can recognize MP3 files but that seems not a problem...

Re: Help request

A- HAAA!

It was the autosave that was doing it! Changed it to every two turns and the huge pause went away on the non-save turns! Go figure!

Talisman + Neural Interface

My race is not "Deeply Religious" but one of my foes is.

I have come into possession of one of that foe's ships, and it has the Talisman. That's good, but it's obviously much more bad than good...

Sadly, I do not have good web access that I can use at work, either.

Re: Need help on SEIV GOLD

Re: Need help on SEIV GOLD

Re: OT: How fast can people run, how high can they jump, how hard can they think?
