Re: Another Newbie Question

This happens if you increase the number of systems in the Settings.txt. I think there are some additional system names in the mod section and I know I saw some in one of these threads. You just need...

Re: FAQ...First 50 turns

As an addition to this if they are indifferent to you or better if you blockade their homeworld and have a high enough score (less than is needed for surrender) you can get them to give you the...

Re: Most useful Intelligence Projects

The only ones I usually bother with are the various counter intell, the crew insurrection, and the puppet political parties when I use them at all. The rest aren't worth it in comparison with those...

Re: System Destruction

The "good events" are when the bad events happen to the other races. Since there are more of them than you it will tend to hit them more often. So really with events turned on you hurt the AI...

Re: Ahem....AI don\'t mass you say...

The AI can be more challenging if you do strategic combat and never ask them to surrender (Use troops or glass the planets if you want to fight them), and never trade technologies. This is not the...

Well here in California it is warm and that is good because they messed up the energy distribution here so bad I probably would go broke paying for the electricity to run a heater. I am hoping I can...

Re: Surrender

Yes make sure that you go into the demand area for the surrender "request". There is a surrender button before that but that is for you to surrender to them. I almost made the same mistake but I saw...

Re: CD Manual... What CD Manual?

You can find the manual in the SEIV directory. It is called the CD manual but it is placed on your hard drive during the install. You can either access it through the start menu or go to your SEIV...

Re: Newbie question

If you use maximum range go into your empires menu and click on strategies. You can then change the secondary strategy to don't get hurt. Then the ship will fire weapons at maximum range then move...

Re: Racial Tech Advantages

One thing I favor advanced storage techniques over the natural merchant advantage. For the same cost you get an extra space for every 5 slots. So all those tiny breathable or huge nonbreathable...

Re: Fighter grouping question

The probable reason for the EA having an old design fighter is that when a planet is filled up with units or it reaches its build limit (whatever that is set to) the old designs are not scrapped or...

Re: Laying Mines problem since new Patch, Bug?

I changed it a bit differently in my files. I made the amount to be launched equal to the level of the component. So a level 2 mine layer can launch 2 per turn. This is still a bit of a limit but it...

Re: Combat Initiative...

Re: How is the AI any better than before??

Actually you have to have 10 times the AI score for them to surrender 1000%. The AI is definately better with this patch but it is not perfect yet. I still wish there was a way for the AI program to...

Re: Strategy Guide? This game is awesome but needs one

While gas giants do give you an advantage another way to look at it is what isn't out there. A no atmosphere start will give you an additional type of atmosphere to colonize that none of the races in...

Re: FAQ...First 50 turns

The Jraener use a lot of seekers don't they? If so make sure you have ships with plenty of point defence when you take them on. You could make special ships with lots of point defence to add to your...

Re: FAQ...First 50 turns
