Why game is so easy?

[narf poit chez BOOM]

mod's are user-created additions to games, and, aside from a few like counter-strike for half-life, their all free. to use it, you just download it, unzip it in your space empires directory(it should come nicely packaged in it's own directory) then you open up path.txt in your SE dir and change 'none' to whatever the name of the TDM directory is.

if that's to confusing, ask someone with more experience in being helpfull, rather than funny.

nope, TDM is a mod, not a mode. you can probably get a copy off PBW.

Sorry, I am new in SPIV.
Is the TDM like a patch? Is it free?

Thanks

The the link to the TDM files: http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newup...1066028417.zip

For best results, play with High AI, High AI Bonuses, SMALL galaxy, 3 starting planets, 4 TDM AIs (think United Flora, Earth Alliance, EEE, Narn, Aquilaeian, Rage, are some of the best).
With this kind of settings, even an experienced player could lose (me for example ).
And not forget to test the Tessellate (some of propaganda to my AIs would not hurt, right?): http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newup...1055630817.zip

ahhh counter strike for halflife is free...
you can also buy it as a standalone also though.

And forget to tell you... if really want hard opponents, try playing multiplayer!

i though they made a commercial Version?

Counter-Strike, IIRC, you can buy boxed with or without HalfLife. The main reasons to get it boxed are the documentation and convenience (having it on a CD, without needing to download). But you can get it Online, legal and free.

Ways to make the game harder against AIs:
Small galaxy
NO Neutral Empires
Turn off surrender
Use AI-friendly maps (low storm, black hole, asteroid system percentages; in other words, don't use Ancient quadrant)
TDM AIs
P&N mod as either a Pirate or Nomad
Self-imposed restrictions (eg. capture all planets, no planetary bombardment; don't use intelligence; don't use any racial points)

Ways to make the game harder:
Play humans
