went to end of game-findings

[mac5732]

I don;t know if anyone else played to game 1.35 no mods to very end, but I finally did it and was a little disappointed with the ending. All it showed was a square with backround and said "you won the galaxy blah blah, hurrah, hurrah", do you want to keep playing yes or no. I was a little disappointed but it was a h... of a game. I did see things at end never ran into before, such as Phong Last race left, his home planet had 6 starbases with hellbores & pd's as well as 11 wp's, but only 35 troops. Each system he owned had at least 1 planet with 1-2 starbases &11-15 wp's and 200- 400 troops.
Also several large fleets 17+ large trans with pop sitting over his planets as well as a good number of fleets with 5-23 DN's. He finaly surrendered after his home planet was captured and a good number of his other worlds were glazed. Oh well just thought those who never went all the way might be interested...

just some ideas mac

Mac, good points.

I actually played out to the end of the game once myself, and posted here that I thought the ending was itself something of a disappointment.

Do you remember the endgame animation to Civ2? Where your guys are setting up on Alpha Centauri, and it plays Also Sprach Zarathustra?

But I think Duke Nukem 3D had the best ending ever. It was strictly audio, but as the credits rolled, you heard Duke coming home to his GF, and "getting lucky"

Well, anyways, I'm sure Aaron is busy with other stuff, and getting the cool stuff like Drones working is more important than end-game
