Re: New map in works - Bayt Hanun

For me:

a) Modern would be great.

b) Czech Republic or Slovakia.

c) Size: 20x20, 40x40, 60x60

I prefer smaller maps. I like to build scenarios that I can complete in a sitting or two.

Re: Small maps, fewer turns

This is--and has been since the old DOS version of SP--part of my rationale for letting the computer choose my force. I kind of like seeing what I've been given and making do with it. The random...

Re: Small maps, fewer turns

Ah...the reason I have not been seeing that stopwatch is that I tend to let the computer purchase and deploy my units. So, there isn't an option to view the map...

Re: Small maps, fewer turns

Thanks much for the information. The game is so deep, one can and does miss things. Believe it or not, I did look through the in-game help file. Oh well.

Long day at the office staring at a...

Small maps, fewer turns

Hi Guys

I often generate and play "random" battles because I prefer smaller maps (30 X 30) and battles that are easier to manage and take less time to play.

Is it possible to set the number of...

Re: CD version of MBT playable without the CD?

It's just a great game. I began playing the original SP back in the DOS days and in fact still have the CDs from all 3 versions!

I'm not a tactical genius, just a life-long student of military...

CD version of MBT playable without the CD?

Hi All

I've been playing the free download version of SPMBT but finally, because of the holiday season sale, bought the enhanced CD version.

I was wondering..once you install the CD version, do...

Re: The Future of Space Empires IV

Re: The Future of Space Empires IV

Last week I started a new DN4.7 game, and this evening I'm going to begin a new Star Trek Mod game.

I am still trying to decide which version of the STM I want to play.

OT - Missionforce Cyberstorm and GTA2 in Win XP?

One of my main complaints about each new generation of Windows is that it won't run certain games I really enjoy.

With Win 98 I used to play the old Sierra game Missionforce: Cyberstorm, as well...

Re: Any One Still Playing This Game?

Actually I would like to become a modder...but of SE4. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho

The idea of a Cara Conner Chronicles TV show or a T4 movie does nothing for me. I won't bother to watch either.

It just shows the entertainment industry's total lack of new ideas.

Re: Any One Still Playing This Game?

I seem to recall that a great deal was said about SE5's appeal (for some) and lack of appeal (for others) around the time of its release. There were a lot of specifics back then.

Re: Any One Still Playing This Game?

That, to me, is a game-killer. I just don't want to spend time wading through a difficult interface just because there might be a good game underneath.

Re: Any One Still Playing This Game?

I agree 10000%. I can easily see myself playing SE4 for another 10 years. It's just so immersive, so DEEP and yet so easy on my computer system.

I only played the SE5 demo, but the game as a whole...

Re: The Star Trek Mod - v1.9.7.3 *NEW*

Isn't remote mining supposed to permanently reduce the value of the target asteroid or planet? In my current game with version 1.9.7.3 that's not happening. My mining ships are busy, but making no...

Re: A question about Q-Ships

Re: A question about Q-Ships

I think the cost of the ship should include organics to represent the "labor" going into its construction. Workers have to be recruited, housed and fed.
