Malagon and Mondu999:
If its too silent, visit "the cantina" for a healthy dose of cartoon violence. Just introduce yourself and buy a drink on GT's tab ( Don't say I sent you ).
You could also visit one of the political threads and enjoy people casually talk about genocide of real people .

If you want to ENSLAVE a people then assault troops are indeed the best way... if however you want to wipe them from the face of creation so that no race for the rest of time will even think of resisting your might, then you want the stealth minesweepers with star destroyers.

Cloaked minesweepers (even those with Stealth Armor activated) do not sweep mines.

Ahh... but most people lay mines in set locations such as warp points over planets, and stars. Merely decloak when passing through such places and recloak to maintain the super secrecy! Late game the cloaking isn't an option anyways... always have sensors everywhere. In that case you just rush from system to system with fast movement minesweeper star destroyers!

Course... this only really works in classic turns.

Aloofi:

Lemme write that down.

1) Order them onto transports.
2) Chuck 'em into space...

I dunno...seems a lot less brutal than my 'how long can you burn' policy. But it works

But wait...how are you going to hear them scream???

You are a mighty Emperor, you order your minions to massacre your oposition, you don't do it yourself, you are responsible for the life and death of millions, so you can't possible expect to hear their screams.
Mighty Emperors don't push people out of the air-lock at gun point, you know.

This is why there tend not to be any flames around here, and why the people are helpful and friendly. Hmm... that sounds kinda elitist. Well... maybe not. Oh well, too late to remove it now either way!
Hi all. I just thought I'd resurrect this thread, this time on another tangent.

Have you noticed how no one ever asks about the 'cheat codes' in SEIV ? Have you noticed how the opposite of that (how to make the AI smarter; how to make the game harder) generates so much traffic here ?

I think SE IV appeals to gamers with a certain level of maturity. Those who have gone beyond 'instant gratification' and realize that the best rewards come from beating the greatest challenges.

In my opinion this forum is the best place on the Internet. Let's all work to keep it that way.

Fyron : I try not to be elitist, but the standards out there are just SO LOW !!
