I did update the website kwok

Strategia the warhead abilities on the supply comps was messing up the AI in combat so they had to be removed

I can make the next rar self extracting if you need it to be.

What's the final word, CW?

Is the first Invasion! game done?

Are there slots in the second Invasion! game?

I'm looking over your space monsters and want a pulse check on my take:

They can't colonize, but they start out stronger and can build quicker than other players can at first. They also start out with ships with unlimited range, so could possiby reach waaaaay out and touch you...

It looks like they are a Harassment type of race that can't expand beyond their home system(s), but are a bloody mess to have next to your newly starting race, right? My guess is that they are strong until the mid game when other (surviving) players get fleets large enough to extermiante the monster nest systems.

Is this about how they play? I can't really see a winning economic model for this race other than a early-game crush of the local opponents.

I'm also curious if it was intnetional to keep them vulnerable to boarding or mental subverters...why not make the nural cores master computers? Seems pretty silly to have a big bad space monster as pets...

The boarding party weakness is a small error but will be fixed in the next patch. Monsters can stay powerful throughout ther whole game you just need to play them correctly. Also with the psysic trait monsters can take enemy ships and in theory colonize if you want to spend you points like that

Also noted the following minor bug:

In the vehicle definitions file, the picures of the Monster ships are out of order to the size of the vehicle constructed.

The Monster level 1 hull has the Lt cruiser picture,
ML2 - destroyer pic
Ml3 - Cruiser pic
ML4 - Battleship pic
ML5 - Worldship pic
ML6 - Battlecruiser pic

I'd recommend the following order:

ML1 - Destroyer pic;
ML2 - Lt Cruiser
ML3 - Cruiser
ML4 - Battlecruiser
ML5 - Battleship
ML6 - Worldship
