Re: Surrender Changes

SMAC had that. If you beat someone enough, or got far enough ahead of an ally, they entered a special diplomatic relationship called "submissive" toward you. They still existed and still had their...

Re: Boarding parties question

Hmm, I've never failed to capture a ship, and I've taken both large transports and battleships with a single level 2 boarding party. I do tend to climb right up to level 5 boarding parties very fast...

Re: Does anyone know the formula SEIV uses to calculate score?

Yes, and there's a flaw in the score calculation where it doesn't matter what's on the ship, just the hullsize. So all destroyers are worth the same score, and all the baseships are worth the same,...

Re: Base - Space station

In some of the really long and drawn out games of SE3, my friend and I used to hide shipyard ships in storms deep inside each other's territory (use cloaks to get there). Then we'd build bases and...

Re: Protectorate/Subjugation Treaties

Don't get into a subjugation treaty, even as the benificial power, under the 1.19 patch since it will reset your tech income to 50,000 and never let you have any higher research income until the...

Re: Nyx - Xenophobe speesh file

Thanks.

My favorite part of the Xenophobe file is that they refuse to use your title when sending you Messages. It's never High Lord Ygraog, it's only Ygraog.
