Re: Abandon colony?

Well, you don't need troops to kill off a planet's population, just put them on a ship or base and space 'em. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon12.gif Much more evil, if you want to...

Re: Rules Question - contest

Even without the surrender tactic, if you just research organic weapons to level 3, it should Last you until you take all the AI out with troops. That'll also give you cheap effective troops if you...

Re: Emergency Build - Unfair

You could always try playing with your eyes shut. Just keep hitting F12 every so often and hope you don't get overrun.

Re: diplomatic Messages in PBEM

Is viewing gifts broken for player to player trades? I thought you could always click on the view gift or view tribute button on the right hand side whenever you were offered one.

Re: Rules Question - contest

Sounds fair to me.

I don't know if teamplay mode stops the AI from surrendering to you. I know it makes them declare war on you immediately, but I haven't tested their response to threats and...

Re: Rules Question - contest

I'd suggest for the time being that the merchant and perhaps engineering cultures be disallowed due to the maintenance balance problem. Either that or just say everyone must be neutral (more...

Re: Using Ministers

I don't use them either. Perhaps if the game was on a larger scale, or the ministers were easier to customize. In the former case I'd have to use ministers or go insane from the micromanagement,...

Re: Emergency Build - Unfair

I think it should be changed so that your slowdown period is twice as long as your emergency build period. For example, one fast year (200%) + two slow years (25%x2) is 250% total for 3 years, and...

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

I guess it doesn't matter all that much what method you use to determine the winner. Whatever you choose, the better players will just adapt their strategy to suit the situation.

Even by adding...

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

I understand where you're coming from, and mostly agree with your points, Nyx. However...(another long post, sorry)

I think the issue with maintenance is still a little murky. I'd agree that 0%...

Re: Well it finally happend

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

I don't think it's really a bug, but probably more of an oversight that occured when they changed the effect of maintenance in race creation. I'm guessing they didn't intend for maintenance to fall...

They way they changed maintenance is, IMHO a mistake. Typically in a point allocation system, the more points you put into a specific area, the less benefit you get per point. Generally that...

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

On second thought, I've changed my mind. In the interest of fairness, I'd like to point out, in case you weren't aware, that you can reduce your maintenance costs to ZERO by upping maintenance to...

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

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

Ships and bases count based on the kt of the hull. Every 100kt of hull gets you 1k points. Resources, intel and research have a 1-1 ratio with points (1000 research = 1000 or 1k points)

Units,...
