Re: New Mod: The Art of War Mod

geoschmo:

Unfortunately, those files are long gone. I had given up SE4 long ago (before Gold was announced). All of my old stuff was on a PC that I no longer have....In retrospect, I should have...

Re: New Mod: The Art of War Mod

IIRC from my 'Traveller' days, that's exactly how the Meson Cannons worked. They ignored armor completely but were subject to a 'Meson Screen' that caused the premature decay of the meson before it...

Re: Honor Harrington

Yes, it would be tough to model the 'Wall of Battle' of the HH novels, but the 'feel' of the tech base and whatnot is really not beyond the realm of possibility. I had a mod from long ago that...

Re: New Mod: The Art of War Mod

Hey all,

Just a few thoughts from the Peanut Gallery:

Regarding Cruisers and other hull types:

One easy fix to do is to make the 'Hulls' cost significantly more as you go up in size...

Re: SE4 Strategy - An Art or a Science?

My old mod (pre-gold) had many of those kinds of tweaks and choices in there, but they totally screwed up the AI. Given that my group cant often get enough people to play that we can totally dispense...

Re: SE4 Strategy - An Art or a Science?

geoschmo et al:

Well, perhaps my wording was somewhat imprecise. You are correct that the weapons are somewhat varied in terms of research/kt/damage payoff, but from the games I've seen and...

geoschmo et al:

While you are quite correct that it does eventually come down to outthinking the enemy, I think he brings up a valid point.

If you know what the 'best' weapons and ship...

Re: Rollo and geoschmo, re: Devnullmod.

Hey guys,

Thanx for the quick replies!

Rollo and geoschmo, re: Devnullmod.

Hey guys,

First, thanx for carrying his mod into Gold. It really is a good mod and adds a lot of flavor and balance to the game. I've been enjoying it quite a bit since becoming disenchanted...

Re: TDM vs P&N

Very nice read! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

I've been quite impressed by the TDM Mod AIs in other mods as well. In fact, the TDM AIs outplay the AIs that come with the...

Re: mod compatibility?

How do 'standard' AIs perform in something like the Devnull Mod? Can TDM races compete a bit in something like that or are the changes so global so as to render those races impotent?

Has anyone...

Re: Malfador, Bring back retreat option from SEIII

IMO, in a game system as abstracted as SE4, any retreat function is just going to cause FAR more problems that it solves, especially by players exploiting it against the AI.

In order for a retreat...

Re: Off Topic: Medical Of Honor (Allied Assualt)

I bought it and returned it already. I loved the graphics, the missions and the atmosphere. But what I could NOT stand was the 'damage model'. The enemy troops routinely take up to 3-4 hits from a...

Re: some suggestions - please discuss
