Re: questions about devnull mod

I suppose I could do that.

questions about devnull mod

Two questions (bear in mind that I'm at work and haven't actually installed the files--just looked at the readmes):

Re: Ship Design for Dummies, weapons, armor, shields, oh my!

Re: How do I make custom maps?

Where is this map maker program? What is it called? I looked in my program directory for the game and I don't see anything there.

I looked in "extras" on the CD and tried something called...

what is this ship attacking me with?

In a tactical battle against the AI I had two damaged ships vs. one of his undamaged ships. The AI ship contained no offensive weapons except for planetary napalm, which only targets planets. It also...

How do I make custom maps?

In another thread about empire placement someone said the way to guarantee even empire placement throughout the quadrant was to make your own maps, place the empires manually and then give that map...

Re: does the "place empires evenly throughout galaxy" work?

For some really tense action, try the FQM sphere quadrant. You don't need lots of AIs to make that...

does the "place empires evenly throughout galaxy" work?

You can set this in the setup options before a game but I don't think it's working. I set up a TDM game in a huge galactic edge galaxy. There are three AIs plus myself. I was placed very near the...

why can\'t you trade specific techs?

I've started fooling around with offering tech as gifts and for trade. But the reason I don't like it is there doesn't appear to be a way to give specific levels of tech--you have to give the entire...

Re: defending your empire\'s borders: what do you do?

Re: question about trading with the AI

Surely someone has an answer to this. It would certainly affect whether I'd bother to offer planets for trade. (Tech is fine--that seems to work.)
