Re: A pirates life for me...

I don't know if there is another reason but of all the threads on this board, this one takes the longest to load and to post a reply to. I just assumed it was due to the length of the thread.

Re: **** EA

Sounds like they are being their usual stubborn self. I can never stay out of a war with them. No matter what I do, 2-3 turns after I meet them they declare war on me. Glad to know I'm not the only...

Re: Does ancient race take a little fun out of the game?

I've never gotten a partnership treaty with an ancient race but it sounds like if you do you get a 1500 point trait for free. Doesn't seem fair but hey, who am I to talk about fair. I need all the...

Re: Disappearing treaties... bug?

I don't think there is anything like that. In fact the whole Politics and Anger is wierd.
Some races get angry if you have colonies on planets they can see. When you enter into a partnership they...

Re: Demo user seeks a few pointers

Combat Lasts for 30 turns. You can adjust this though, I think in the Settings file.

Re: Map editor - neutrals

Does the editor allow cargo to be placed on planets? It would be cool if you could pre-place weapons platforms on a neutral ringworld. Then it would be a real tough nut to crack!

Re: how to start a good game

If you are having trouble surviving a standard start game try setting the starting planets to good and number to 3. This will give you a higher base to start from.

Re: Demo user seeks a few pointers

The tech is free and can be quite valuable, like a new colonization type. Colonize all ruins as soon as possible, even if you can't hold it. The tech goes to the first owner.
Also, under the empire...

Re: Demo user seeks a few pointers

The red "trash can" means you don't have a spaceport in the system. If you go to start/programs/shrapnel I think the manual is there, but it has been a long time since I played the demo so I could be...

Re: Changes to the units

Re: Does AI use boarding ships

They are very good at using the converter, they have a dozen or so of my ships in my current game.
Do you think Psychic races should be immune to the Alligience Converter?
Shouldn't they also get...

Never noticed those before, guess cause I don't win often enough or I'm in a hurry to start a new game.

Re: easier ways to win when at war

Try asking for their surrender. If your are far ahead of their score they will probably accept.

Please excuse me if this has been suggested before but this thread is getting real long and I'm getting lazy in my old age.
Perhaps there should be an intermediate step before civil war, a period of...

Re: Fighter group size

That's a good strategy if you don't mind moving all those units. You could actually use un-armed/armored fighters as flak catchers.

Re: OT: How old are you ?

Aahh Moscow, great game. One of the prettiest counter sets ever. I wish they could duplicate it for the computer, although Talonsofts effort was good.

Re: Q: Fleet Strategies?

Put one direct fire weapon on your ships. Also make sure they are attack ships. This will help keep them in formation.

Re: Taking a planet with low-tech?

Well, if they have missiles and you don't have point defense you have a tough road. Best bet is to do what motlee, sj and Q suggest and blockade them into surrender.
And research Point defense soon,...

The computer should pick them at random. That sounds odd.
