A Borg Collective style completed

warp nine · #1 January 17th, 2001, 08:07 AM

Wow, my races are actually being used! I wish my full Version would get here so I could play too!

-Borg unit designs: There were entries missing in the design file. The fixes are on my site.

-Neutron bombs on a colonist: I can't imagine what a Borg colonist would look like since they take everything from other races. I was hoping they'd use them in the event of coming to a planet that's already been colonized. Any other ideas? I'm still trying to get more boarding ships and troops used in combat. So far the Vulcans have assimilated more ships with allegiance converters (which I took away from them) than the Borg have.

-AI_anger file/personality settings: Those entries I haven't even seen in the Demo files. If someone would send me a set of full Version default ai files, I could get them tuned up for all 8 races. I figured some entries were missing since I tried setting all anger values to zero once and the Borg got murderous and declared war within one turn of first contact for no apparent reason.

-Klingon race: DONT cross these guys! massive, massive fleets with VERY heavy firepower! I haven't witnessed them confront the Borg yet, but I expect some heavy casualties for both sides. There are a handful of Klingon sayings in their speech file. Let's ask nice and see what Jonas can do with it! ;D

Thanks for the feedback and please send some more.

Great news. I can't wait to get sometime to check the BORG out.

Thanks W9 and Jonas.

Hey guys, I posted your news at my site. Hope you don't mind, but I thought it would be great to get as many people aware of it as possible.

Updates to all AI files for 8 races (Rom, Fer, Borg, 8472, Fed, Kli, Vulc, Card) posted on my site. I find the politics and anger to be greatly improved in gameplay, but here are a few notes:

-the Borg don't advance (borderwise) as quickly as the others. Their politics prevent them from forming treaties with anyone they consider a threat, and they have to fight their way out. 8472 has the same disadvantage, yet they expand more rapidly for some reason. When I find the settings responsible I'll transfer them to the Borg!

-the Klingons are devastating to start out, but they fall behind and get whipped due to obsolete ships compared to other empires. I need to organize their research more efficiently so they remain competitive and still have lots of firepower.

-I'm still stuck with the Demo and have been getting feedback that some settings are missing. I'll add the changes but there may be more that the demo doesn't cover. If you get an error reading a file, let me know.

That sounds great. But unfurtunately I can't get to your site: warp_nine.tripod.com is invalid at least with IE5.
Could you post your files in the mod section of this forum??

I have no problems with going to the site and I also use IE 5.

If you'll tell me what happened when you tried to go to his site and had trouble, we'll try to help you diagnose your problem. I have IE 5.5 also and didn't have any trouble pulling it up. Maybe a network link between you and him was down temporarily or some other glitch... Try it again, and let us know.
