Re: OT: Game Theory/Statistics

The type of game geo is talking about is called a "blotto" game. Here's a site that talks a bit about it and lists out the results of a game played with a bunch of people...

Re: Devnull Mod Gold: updates and discussion

For Comp Removal, did you mean to put 1.71 at +30 or -30?

Re: Devnull Mod Gold: updates and discussion

For the planets, you'd have to make extra effort to make sure the Extra Huge planets and Stellar Moons remain in the game. I'm not sure if this would mean modifying the FQM files or not.

Re: Devnull Mod Gold: updates and discussion

When I asked Rollo about an update several months back, he said he was planning something. But I think he ran out of leisure time for SE4, so you should go ahead with your changes.

I'll let a few...

Re: Suggestions for Space Empires V

That's just because you keep thinking up horrific ways for it to be implemented! Use your brain for good, not evil!

What if we called it the Leaky XP system. Then you'd love it!...

Re: Suggestions for Space Empires V

That's a really stretched analogy. A closer analogy would be to play several complete games of SE4 back to back, using the same map, gaining extra racial points to spend after each game based upon...

Re: Suggestions for Space Empires V

This is essentially what happens in Counterstrike. Each side gets money after completing each round, regardless if you live or not. The better you did, the more you get. Warlords III (or was it...

Re: Suggestions for Space Empires V

More work, as in a couple more buttons to click during game creation: Allow x Racial XPs; Equalize Races.

So, yes, in multiplayer games, it would be the same as just assigning more points. But...

Re: Suggestions for Space Empires V

It's abritrary and silly that all these races exist at the same time and have the same tech level and similar planet values at the start of the game. Should those be changed to something more...

Re: Suggestions for Space Empires V

Making sense < Having fun.

People like the sense of gaining experience. Doesn't have to be completely logical. SE4 isn't a sim game, and so it shouldn't worry about realism if it gets in the...

They don't because there isn't anything connecting them. Add experience, and they do.

That is a good suggestion but it solves a different problem.

Re: Suggestions for Space Empires V

People would enjoy it. So there is the benefit right there.

Munchinism is easily avoided - just have a setting for Racial Experience minimums and maximums (default to 0 and 0) during game setup.

Re: On Psychic Tech and Gameplay Balance

Yeah, psychic is probably the weakest of the racial traits. Religious is king, Crystaline gives you really good armor, Organic and Temporal let you crank out ships. Psychic is great, until everyone...

Re: Another odd gameplay problem

I have this same problem on my work computer. On my home computer, the Ship Route lines show up fine. If I try the same turn on my work computer, I get nothing. Weird.

OT - Star Wars Ep III

Though they are called "anti fighter missiles", they are really just regular Point Defense. The to hit bonus starts at +80 for level 1, and goes up by +10 each level.
